We bought a car!

 After about 6 months of purchasing and pondering which car to buy... I finally made a purchase yesterday. Cody and I had a little time to kill after dropping Elysia off at the airport so we decided to head to the Kia dealership. They actually had the model we wanted in a color we didn't oppose (black). Heeding my father's advice, I bargained them down to a number I was 'comfortable' with. I made Cody drive it off the lot and through Omaha. Here are some pictures: 

Signing away a LOT of money :S and our first big purchase aside from our wedding bands!

Old vs. New, just before driving away

Ready to drive away! (Cody was much less nervous than I was- later we discovered how to lower the driver's seat so his head wouldn't be so close to the roof... Much better, huh, Cody? :)

And parked back home- 2011 Kia Sportage with AWD

We also headed to Nebraska Furniture Mart there in Omaha to see if they had any living room sets we liked. We actually found one we both liked, so hopefully I'll be able to go pick the exact set out in January so the Air Force can move it up to Alaska for us. It was actually Cody's first time in NFM, and boy was he impressed. He said he would gladly go with Dad or Ethan at ANY time in the future... (they even have a Burger King! gasp!)
