New Car and fun

It has been a very rough couple of weeks and after thinking about it this week it has been a very rough year for the whole Maxwell Family. Art and Steph and there multiple moves and hurricanes, etc. Bobbie and Jeremy and there pregnancy challenges and now health complications. Katy and Chad and there scary seizure with Braxton and Katy's lovely pregnancies. And Michael and I with our lost pregnancies and car accidents, house buying, and job mess. I am so glad to almost have this year be over. We did have a great time in Disneyland in the middle of our crazy lives. I'm glad to have those memories to over power all the hard ones.

Well I went back to my old job on Friday. I am sad to leave the new one. I really did like it but I think this move will be for the best. Getting back to work on Friday was like going home. My boss is ecstatic to have me back and had a computer ready for me as soon as I got there on Friday morning. That is usually based on seniority. She gave me a bunch of work to get into on Monday morning so I can start making money again. I think it was the break I needed from that job to really appreciate how great it was. My boss says I can still keep my flexibility that I need to take care of Kailye and make sure she gets where she needs to be everyday. I feel very good about switching.

We also bought a new car on Saturday. It is a Nissan Pathfinder. We were going to just buy another VW Passat but decided if we are going to have our kids close together we will likely have another one within 18 months of this next one. We didn 't want to have to buy another car again in 2 years. So now we have 2 SUV's. I know weird. Neither of us ever felt good about any of the cars we looked at. We had looked at the pathfinder before but it was a little out of our price range so we let it go. Well the sales agent called us a week later and said he could sell it for 3000 less than what he originally quoted. So we went back in to look at it. It was the first car we actually felt good about buying. I know its silly to think about receiving guidance for something like buying a car, but I feel like we did.

Last night we went and hung out with Art and Steph. It was so cool to be able to fit all 7 of us in 1 car. We went and watched the Christmas lights show at a house in Pleasant Grove. It is so cool. They have thousands of lights all timed to music. you just tune your radio into a designated station and watch. We had so much fun. They had a donation box outside there house for Make a Wish Foundation. After we went there we all headed back over to the Maxwell house. Michael and I watched the kids while Art and Steph ran to a reception. Okay I should really say Michael watched the kids. I kind of have a head cold so I layed down. I forgot our camera so I think you'll have to look at Art and Steph's blog to see them.

Well I need to go put a little one to bed so I'll write more tomorrow. Bye.
