To Canada and beyond

W e got our selves a car... finally. It came to the dealer last week and we could have picked it up anytime between now and May 20th. Believe it or not it literally mean we had to pick it up NOW. We've got so many things happening the next two weeks that we could have only squeezed it in otherwise. Anyway, last week we busied ourselves by getting an insurance and parking. Finding a spot to park our car was fairly easy. However, getting insurance was a bit of a pain.

Then, when I get home I'll just do the touch up. That should make it way more convenient for me to add posts. Maybe that's all it takes for me to keep this blog going... I guess we'll find out when I actually get around to make my next entry ;)
