I am way too Old!

So, today is my birthday, and it has been great! I am sitting home alone tonight...(Rusty is at a Young Mens Super activity), but I have had such a great one that I don't care! To give you a little background, Rusty and I have been looking for a new SUV for a couple weeks now. The rodeo's AC was becoming quite tempermental and I won't chance it with my baby. Plus, it's just a peice! Well, Rusty and I differ a little on car shopping, so doing it together is...interesting. Finally, he called me on Monday and asked if he could take this week to shop by himself and then we could make a decision together.

(Fast Forward to Tuesday)

I had asked him a few times during the week what he was finding and what he thought. Everything was very vague. I had seen this Tahoe at a Toyota dealership that I really liked. Kinda high in miles but it's in GREAT condition and in our price range. He test drove it and I guess it smelled like smoke really bad and it rode really rough.

(Fast Forward to today)

I wake up with the knowledge that Rusty has set up some appointments for us to test drive some craigslist cars. He wants to take me to breakfast and then we can get started. We head to return his friends car (all part of the plan), and when we get to his house, Rusty opens their garage and there my Tahoe is with a big red bow on it and a banner that says Happy Birthday! I cried...I know it's hard to imagine...but I did! It was an amazing surprise and Rusty is the best at that. He always trumps me on gifts. Last Christmas it was Bronx, and now a car. How do I compete with that? The best part is that Rusty got a great deal (and no it doesn't smell like smoke at all!). We had gone over our budget very carefully to make sure we knew what we could afford. Originally, I didn't think this was in our price range, but Rusty wheeled and dealed and got it for $6 UNDER our afformentioned budget!

Anyways, here is pics of my new ride! Happy Birthday to ME!!
