That Time I Bought a Car

Usually, we just sit around and watch TV during the weekend, but I gotta be honest... this weekend was definitely one for the books.


1. Late last week I started to feel a little under the weather. Friday night was spent sipping soup (and eating ice cream) and watching lots of movies. The sore throat has gone away but I have a lingering cough.

2. I made my first big girl purchase!! Remember that car that I posted last week? Well, I got it! (another pic below)

3. The weekend is never complete without puppy snuggles.

4. Nick and I had been talking about meal planning and I challenged him to plan and cook our meals for the week! Last night we had shrimp quesadillas... yummy!

 "Take a picture of me for your blog. Are you going to blog about this?"

I am so in love with my new car. My little Honda Civic served me well through high school and college, but I'm so excited to have a "grown up" car now.


I feel like such an awful blogger though... I met up with two of my favorites, Amy and Catherine, yesterday and we didn't take any pictures! We ate at Cyclone Anaya's and y'all, those were seriously the best breakfast tacos I have ever had.

What did you do this weekend? Link up!

WOOOO! Congrats on the car, girlfraaaan!
I'm still in my college civic and will probably be until I can't be anymore ;) haha!

I'm starting to feel a little under the weather myself...currently sipping on some white tea in hopes of kicking it sooner rather than later!

Hope you're enjoying your day!

Yay for a grown up car. And bravo to your hubs. If I challenged andrew to make dinner for a week I would eat spagetti every day!

Um. Shrimp is probably the worst thing to ever crawl outta the ocean But even I want to eat that beauty.

Congratulations on buying a new car! It’s another great step towards being a grown-up. Did you buy the car with your own money, or did you take out a loan? I’m sure you’re very proud of yourself for having bought the car on your own! Remember to take care of it very well, so that it will take really good care of you as well.

Who wouldn’t fall in love with your new car? I know how happy you are to have your “grown up” car, just be sure to be a responsible driver too. Congrats on your first big girl purchase!

I will try those tacos when my buddies and I go for a road trip. Hehe. Is that a Toyota Land Cruiser? Great choice! The car brand has been known for releasing SUVs that have unbeatable combination of off-road capability and on-road comfort. I’m sure you’ll love driving your new car. =D
