A Welcome Addition

Unfortunately our blog posts are going to be a little less visually pleasing for a while since our camera died and is on it's way to the Canon repair facility. We probably won't see it for quite a while, so please bear with our plain text posts for a while.

Joseph and I are excited to announce that we now own two cars with air conditioning. We've been living with only one, and Joseph was kind enough to use the non-A/C car for his commutes, since it is only about 10 minutes each way, and he let me keep the A/C car for running errands. Well, on Friday we found a deal we couldn't pass up, and now we are the proud owners of a 2002 Toyota Corolla. It's shiny and black, and looks fifty times better than our Honda did. It is a bit of a down grade in some aspects: no cruise control, no automatic locks or windows, and a tape deck rather than a CD player. However, the air conditioning and the fact that it is 11 years younger than our last car and the low mileage on it makes it worth it to us. Yay for two reliable cars, and not having to live through a full summer in Phoenix with the car without A/C! There is a part of us that misses that old Honda though, it took Joseph half way across the country twice, and it's the car he picked me up for our first date in. It lived a long and happy life. Here's hoping our new Toyota will do the same.

Yay for AC! Congrats on the car. Also, a tip for getting pictures when your camera dies or you are too lazy (like me) to upload pictures: Find pictures online and use them. You don't have to, but I do it all the time to liven up my blog entries.

Sorry we missed you on Saturday!! Didn't get your message until later that night. Anyway, congrats on the Toyota! We are proud owners of TWO Toyota's and love them both. You won't regret it.

Maybe one day DJ will get a car with A/C, but since he drives about 2 miles to work, he will probably be stuck with it for a while!
