So we did it. Kenny and I made our first big purchase together. We bought a 98 model Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is used but it really nice. It is green but except for a few minor things it is really nice vehicle. For example, the cigarette lighter has a short in it so it works at random. Also someone tried to steal it once from the dealership so there is a small piece of the steering wheel that has a scratch in it. The back hatch also doesn't like to stay open when you use it all the time. This could be problematic when loading my wheelchair These are minor things, however. Being the weird person I am, I also think it smells funny, so I bought some Febreeze. Kenny just laughed at me and suggested one of those manly console contraptions. So I guess that is what will end up being the solution. I took a quick picture of it for you guys to see. It was taken in the dark at CVS, so it isn't the best quality. Kenny hasn't even seen the real thing yet. My parents picked it up at the dealership for us. He is picking it up later this week when he doesn't have to work. On a brighter note, we got a $200 dollar discount on the insurance policy. We only had to pay $700 and something for six months since we are driving around a gimp. Yes, I called myself a "gimp." I am joking. *giggles*
I often make fun of myself. If I can't laugh at myself, then who can right?
I am comfortable with myself. It is no biggie. Finally, being disabled has a perk. YAY!
Well, there are others, but this one just really helped out at the moment. FINANCIALLY!
Anyway, I am happy. I hope he is too! I hope things work out for us. I want our future to be a good one. I am trying to make it work, So far, so good...Step one complete...

I have been to the West coast once girl so I know my way there. I would so love to hang out! I went with some friends and my cousin Jon (who also happens to be one of best friends) to Albuquerque, New Mexico back in 2001. We drove all the way from West Virginia. We stopped in Tulsa, Oklahoma and got snowed in. It was March. When we stopped it was raining at around 9pm. Woke up around 3am to a state of emergency and around 2-3 feet of snow. It was freaking nuts! We couldn't see our car in the parking lot of the hotel anymore or anything. My naive redneck ass had never been out West or ever seen that much snow. I loved the experience and fell in love with New Mexico. We went so my friend could meet a guy she had been talking to from over the internet. She later moved there and they are still together as far as I know. We lost contact. We haven't spoken since 2004. No apparent reason. Just as I had mentioned, I have a bad track record when it comes to friends of the female kind. I miss her though and the West coast area. Or the road in general. Kenny aka Pezmaster and I are still planning the cruise to Japan, which will be a culture shock from Hell, bull in the meantime I so need a much needed vacation.
