The Catch-Up Continues...

So it's time to tell the "Fraud" story. It all started when we found this 'super duper too good to be true' deal on a new Honda Accord V6 with Navi. We already had a new Honda Accord fully loaded (with the exception of Navi & it was a 4 cylinder) This guy told us he'd sell us this great car for cheaper than we could sell ours for so we thought, "Oh what steal of a deal!" How dumb could two people be...i'm telling you, we're a match made in heaven! lol. Anyway, we ran off and sold our beautiful Honda Accord, for way less than it was worth i might add, and headed to the bank to wire the money for our new car. Before we finalized the transfer Seth wanted me to call Kyle (my computer genius brother) and see what he thought of the whole transaction. After looking into it Kyle got my other brother Brad involved (my law enforcement brother) and between the two of them they concluded it was pure fraud. GO FIGURE. So there we sat...one car short...a large check...and feeling very used. It affected me a little more than i thought...the very thought of a human being USING and STEALING that easily from another made me so sad. We sat on the check for a day or two then decided exactly what we were going to do. We paid off all our debt (with the exception of our house, of course) and then used the money left over to buy a second car cash! We got a cute little Honda Civic that rocks the gas mileage! It's hard to look at the situation now with any kind of regret because thanks to my brilliant computer genius brother and my awesome law enforcing brother we didn't actually send the money to the creep...instead we became debt free...and there's nothing in the world that makes us feel SO good!!

~~~~ Nicci Colors on the wall...for the First Time! ~~~~

I have to admit...I was a little excited to see Nicci color on the wall finally! Nicci can be so good, sometimes it's refreshing to see her do something as crazy as color on the wall! The cutest thing was that she TOLD me... "Mommy...i color wall!" I laughed so hard and hurried and took a picture. (Thank goodness for the Magic Eraser that makes it more than easy to wash off little things like crayon!) I absolutely love being a mom!!
