Everythings Going to Be Alright....

i know that ive been breaking down left and right here lately but i just wanna say that im so glad that we are blessed for everything that has happened and everything that we have gone through has only made us stronger....i know that lance and i are going to be okay and that in the end we have eachother and our families by our sides.... thanks for all your support!

Bye Bye Aztek....Hello Sorento!

If You never get out of their face....They will eventually Listen to you.....

Soo lets just say this has been a crazy couple of weeks....to say the least..... we bought a lemon(and did not know it of course)! So All Lance and I have done for the last couple of weeks is fight and push and fight and push some more to try to get this Hannis problems fixed i was not walking out of their worse off by buying a car after all the reason you buy one is to make your life a lot easier! So finally yesterday we get a final diagnosis to the "Aztek" and it was going to be about 3000.00 in repairs! Oh my no way! Heck i just paid like 6000.00 for the thing! Not happening! So i come home and write a letter to the Better Business Beau and just explaining the whole situation to them how i looked at my rights and how they did not tell me these repairs needed to be fixed when we were purching the car and all this and that! And that they cancelled our warrenty! crazyness! So anyways we were so angry....So lance hikes his happy butt into Brent Brown this morning and shows the guy the paper of how much the repairs were going to be the guy just kinda looks at him and is like ok what should i do about it im not going to pay to have that car fixed. So he fianlly says okay this is what i can do. You can trade the car in for something the same price or similar. So lance runs home to me and says come on we gotta go down to brent brown and find a new car. So we go down to Brent brown let me tell you they were done with us at this point....and we start looking through their used selection...well i guess the bank only grants loans uasually if you get one with under 100,000 miles on the car your buying....so he shows us a couple and we test drive and go over safety and everything OMGoodess were we cautious this time when selecting....ahahahha! So we narrow it down to two in our price range and we had a Kia Sorento 2005 and a Chrystler PT CRUSIER 2002. So we go over everything and the biggest thing in my mind was we have have have to find one with a warrenty and so then we start reading over everything and the kia was super nice and good sized and 4 wheel drive and we see it has a warrenty DONE DEAL! So what a blessing! Can i just tell you that i have never been more grateful to my heavenly father for blessing us with the chance to at least get ourselves out of a bad situation and at least make it better... how nice a feeling is it! So we turned in our Aztek today and took home the Sorento. We sign all the final papers tomarrow! But what a relief! Thank heavens!

Its Like April in 2 Days...and we get over a Foot Of SnoW....what!

SO its like April in 2 days and we got a foot of snow tonight you would think its like January! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! i do not approve...especially since i just hung all the winter coats in the closets and got my light coats and Bright colored tops ready for spring....lances wordrobe is pretty contestant (black, white, green and red for work) so his job was relatively simple.And its supposted to snow all week! ahhaha!
And today we looked out of our house and it looked like this...

All i can say is i cant wait to got to California at the end of the month! IM done with the snow.....

S0 i have to tell you the funny event of the day...So tonight lance and i went to the grocery store we had an emergency! And as we were passing through i was like lance....ya know after all 8 years of me knowing you i dont know your favorite Easter Candy....yes i know its kinda wierd but to me easter candy is in a WHOLE SEPERATE catagory to me...I LOVE EASTER CANDY. I have to say its just the hardest time of the year for me all easter candy tastes amazing too me! HAHHAHA! My 2 favorites are the easter reeses pastel eggs and the cadbury ones in the purple bag....omgoodness its like an addiction to me! SO anyways i turned to Lance as was like "what is your favorite easter candy?" and he was like....ummmm "well i guess the mexican easter candy...."um lance really....i know i go through this every christmas trying to stuff his stocking...but really i guess....then he says "i dont think that mexicans sell easter candy colleen so i guess that i dont have one...." Great Lance! ahahahh! well i guess since ive been married almost 3 years now i can realise that you never stop learning about your spouse.....hahaha..... its never gets old being with lance im always on my toes!

SoOOoO... tonight I was just again reminded again..

When's It Gonna Be OUr Turn?

ahhh tonight i was going through my face book "friends" just scrolling through and was once again im the only person of all my friends and stuff that is not pregnant or getting pregnant(apparently!) And then at tonight at work this lady totally was yelling so loud at her kids being so mean to them and was like "i wish you kids would just shut up!" I wanted to be like you dont know how lucky you are Lady... its just not a fair reality... i know i should be greatful i dont have cancer...or i have not fallen off a bridge or something...but to be honest im kinda bitter, im sure in sometime im reminded because on the 30th it will be a year that i miscarried but i think im just wondering why not us! And its proably a good thing but you cant help but think! WHY!!!! ahhhh! but enough about that. i thought i would just ramble....i do complain too much...ahhhh i hate that about me!!!!! Postive thoughts colleen!
ONe day lance and i will know the bliss of being parents!

SO in better news and more hilarious thoughts lance has found a new way of transportation and hobby....and its kinda of funny to see a 230 pound guy riding a skateboard....around to pick up his car from the shop.... but what can i say ITS LANCE! Just one more reason why my life is a brighter place...i know i will NEVER ever be board with him around that's for sure!

WE have actually decided that as a couple to do new things were going to take our little boy scout troup (yes we are the boyscout leaders...and lance actually loves it,a tad more than i do....) and were going to start a softball team. Lances dad played and he is like i gotta do that...And of course i will always love it! So im excited about that! So we will keep you updated on it! Im surprised how much i find to blog about! Hahah but i guess i do always ramble...... Goood night more to come!
