Gunter

Josh and I bought a car yesterday. His name is Gunter, and he’s a 1983 VW GTI. We’re going to be rolling in style…once we get him to work. Josh drove him home after meeting with the seller last night, and the car DIED the minute he pulled up! We had friends over last night, and we joked, “At least Josh didn’t have to bother to turn off the car!” Thankfully, the company who last worked on the car will look it over and hopefully fix it for free.

Last night Josh and I had pizza at our house with our to-be married friends. One of the couples is getting married next month, and the other will be married two weeks after that. Last weekend, Josh and I accompanied them to a bridal festival at the Phil Long Expo. We sampled cookies, and I wanted to swim in the glorious chocolate fountain. After that, the girls browsed perfumes at Dillard’s while the guys explored the shoe section. I’m in love with Dior’s J’Adore, but images of Charlize Theron pop in my head whenever I smell it.

The house is so quiet now that my sisters have been gone for a week, but the new peace in the house has inspired me to finally paint our front room. I start my weekend class tonight, though, so we’ll see when I can squeeze the painting in.

Get well soon, Gunter.

Sisters and Weddings

My sisters have been staying with us for the past couple of weeks, and they're leaving this coming Saturday. It's hard leaving early on the weekdays and coming home in the late afternoon, but Josh and I enjoy the time with them. Yesterday we got our hair cut for $7 each at the Toni & Guy Academy, spent some time at Starbucks, and watched "The Majestic" with April. Even the little things are special when we don't always get to see each other.

Josh and I are so excited--there are four weddings to look forward to in the next few months! Particularly, our friends Jonathan and Joy are getting married next month. Joy eats the popcorn I drop on the couch when we're watching movies, and we agree that crackers and cheese (with the mousse-like dispenser) would make a good sneak-in snack at the theater. I can't wait to spend more time with her. Jonathan and Josh have known each other for years, so it's only natural for the four of us to spend time together. And, congratulations to Matt and Sayo, Keith and Sara, and Justin and Shara.
