New Car!!

Darrell and I have been planning on buying a new car at the end of the summer. We had casually been looking on-line, just to see what we wanted and we had narrowed it down to the

Honda CR-V

and the Mazda CX7

I have a couple of friends that have CR-V's and I also have a friend that has a CX7. All of the reviews and pricing came back very similar. In the end, we decided on the CR-V. My last two cars have been Hondas (a 1999 Civic and a 2000 Accord) I LOVED the Civic, until it met it's demise by being rear-ended (and totalled) by a Corvette on MoPac. Then came the Accord, which have also been very happy with. When Mom, Reagan, and I went up to the Dallas area about a month ago, the transmission started slipping a little bit once we got to the town where our family lives. It was fine in on the highway, but it was in town in the stop and go traffic that it didn't want to slip into the lower gears. Since we have been nearing the 100 degree temperature mark, it seems to have gotten worse. When we went down to Gruene on Teusday, Darrell drove and he noticed too that it was getting worse. So, Wedenesday evening, we made a trip up to Round Rock Honda and checked out the CR-V's. I drove one and Thursday after work, we went and picked it up. Here it is in Glacier Blue Metallic (it looks silver in the photo, but it is actually a really pretty light blue.) our 2009 CR-V. I am so thrilled becuase it is my very first brand new car!

In Reagan news....the little guy learned a new trick today! He rolled from his back to his stomach. So, now that he can roll both ways, he is really starting to try and scoot himself. We will lie him on the floor and put his toys just out of his reach and he will scooch himself to try and reach for them. It's so fun to see him do new things every day!
