Car Shopping and Random Other Things

We have wanted a new car for almost a year now. I absolutely hate car shopping though!!! Ugh!! Brett and I are both first time car buyers so it stinks even more. One day we will like one thing and the next it is not so good. Today we want a mini van. Yesterday an SUV. Tomorrow, a nice gas efficient car. We just want something new. Well, actually used - but still nice since we are poor college students. lol. I hate used car buying too just for the fact I hate unpredictability and I always feel like people are trying to rip us off. I desperately want a new car. The jeep has been so good to us ,but it has no ac which has just about killed me this summer. I am so afraid of getting something that is just going to give out on us in a few months anyways....ugh I am such a pessimist!!!
Another note, Brett has been studying like crazy lately. He is getting ready for the MCAT which he takes on Sept 4th. Poor guy, he is so stressed but I know he will do great. He is so smart and never gives himself enough credit. I am going to be so glad when this semester is over and we know where we will be going for school next year. I hate not knowing where we will end up. Az is our first choice and i really really don't want to go to chicago lol. I am just nervous about the east coast. Its the Texan in me, I know.
Adalie is doing great. I think she has hit a growth spyrt which is fun! That means new clothes soon, which daddy isn't too excited about lol. i go crazy with all the little girl clothes out there they are just so darn cute. She is learning her colors and numbers. She can count to five with her fingers and counts everything. We have steps on our porch, and she has to count them everytime before she comes into the house. She is one smart little girl...to smart for her own good cometimes haha.
Anyway, everything else is fine. I am feeling better, but bored out of my mind as I am trying to get used to just being home all of the time. We have been at my sister in laws for a couple of days whihc has been really nice. Grandma is also visiting at Monica's house and has been taking good care of me and letting me get some rest. I have the best mother in law and my sisiter in law and her family are so good to us too.
Side note!! My nephew opens his mission call tomorrow!! Sometimes it feels so funny to have a neice and nephew at 21 and 19....how weird is it they will be ahving kids when I have kids??

Oh I hope you get into AZ as well! I LOVE AZ! What University are yall going for? UofA? Warning: It is so unbelievably hot here in the summer but the 9 months of beautiful weather we have, makes it completely worth it! Im glad you are feeling better! My nausea has finally subsided (except at night) and I have never felt better! I hope everything turns out ok!

Is it UofA or Western something or other. I love it here in AZ. I don't care for the roads in Tucson but it's a city with a small town feel. Good luck to Brett on the MCAT. Y'all will be in my prayers.
