Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil- the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be. ~ William George Jordan

Just a quick update

~So I finally have something actually exciting to blog about! :)
#1: I had two of my bestest friends (I've known them both since kindergarten) leave to go on there missions this past month! Jordon went to Alpine Germany (which encompasses Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.) And Luke went to Sau Paulo Brazil! I can't believe my little gradeschool buddies are now missionaries and serving the Lord!
This is Jordon at his farewell :)

#2. I got a Raise at work, we are also going to be moving to a new, BIGGER place and it will still be close to home! yay! It will be kinda close to the Haunted Forest, so if anyone knows where that is, that is really close to where I live, and so now I can just go the back roads! We won't be moving until the beginning on April, so that's a bummer, but it will give us time to prepare for Expo coming up at the end of March and yeah.. it will be fun! (plus, once we move, i'll be making cards there at work part time!!! wahoo! I can't wait!)

#3. Last but DEFINITELY not least..... I GOT A CAR!!!! It's super cute and I love love LOVE it!!! I got a brand spanken new 2011 Jetta! This weekend was dedicated to test driving and more test driving... so we started out with a Ford Fusion. I loved that car, and was pretty set on getting that one, we were having a friend find us one, but when he couldn't find a good deal on it, i was pretty discouraged. but I decided to go test drive it anyways. I liked it a lot, but I decided to just wait and test drive some more of my top cars that I would want. So then on Saturday, my dad and I decided to go to the Chevrolet place and test drive a Chevy Cruize. So so sososos nice!! I was way smooth, way powerful, had a ton of cool features to it, but Price Tag??? yeah... like $23,000!! So, that was a negative, but way fun to drive! haha! My mom suggested to just go drive the new Jetta, I really didn't want to, because well.. I had one already, I wanted something new, but once we drove into Southtowne Jetta, I saw the new model and really loved it, we told the guy we wanted to test drive it, & man... that's where I fell in love with it! But we talked numbers and soon realized; it was pretty expensive! Especially because I had only had my job for a little while, so I thought about it the whole way home, talked to my mom and decided that she should come look at it & be there. So we went back up, she drove it, & blah blah blah! (you know the drill) I knew I could do it, & that this felt like the right thing to do, so the monthly payments got talked down to what I could handle, signed a million forms, & before I knew it, I was driving it home on the Freeway! (*side note: I also drove on the freeway coming home from SLC with my mother. If anyone knows my mom, they know that she HATES the freeway, & I mean HATES the freeway, she rarely drives to SLC, she doesn't like to be on the freeway with lots of people, & she has never driven with me on the freeway and yes I have been driving for a while, so I must say this was a BIG step for her! She even said I didn't scare her like Alisha always does ;) ha! Love ya alisha!)
So, I even ended up buying the exact car I test drove, it was great! Now I can't stop looking at it, or wanting to go drive it! haha! I really love it and I hope you do to! here are some pictures::

EXTERIOR::
It's a dark grey if you can't tell, sorry it was pretty sunny outside!


INTERIOR::
The seats are black cloth seats. They are super comfy I must say! I did want leather, but they didn't have any in my model.
It's an automatic as well, it SO different, but it's a good different, no more stick shifting for me!
Really nice radio, I even have an iPod hook-in thing :)
Well that's my new car! I hope you love it as much as I do!!! :)
