A New Ride and a New Gig

The new baby isn't the only thing that is happening around here! Although it may seem that way, but hey this blog is from my point of view. For YEARS and I mean years the hubby has been bugging me to get a truck. My answer was always.....the gas mileage! We live in California where they use every excuse to tax all the things including the gas, so ours is usually way above average!

Well we moved into the mountains and we hit two snow storms where neither vehicle could go anywhere and he pressed me harder. We need a 4x4 and I need something that I can transport all the "garbage" from our backyard to the dump with. Still not convincing enough for me, but I entertained the idea of getting a used truck. Who needs to spend $50k on a vehicle? No me, Miss Frugal Franny!

He searched and searched all the websites and came across a Black Ram 1500 that he was interested in. I hate black vehicles, but it's not mine right? When we bought our SUV he was adamant that it was going to be black, but I convinced him that grey is better. The same thing occurred when he bought his Mustang back in 2004. I like grey cars. They show less dirt...in my opinion. So we walk onto the lot to look at this black truck and sitting right nest to it is a dark grey 1500 Big Horn with dual exhaust and all the bells and whistles. Of course I like that truck, but I am not going to say anything because it of course costs more. We look at both trucks and I see that he keeps going to the grey one and sitting in it and opening all the things....and that's the only one we test drive. Done Deal. Signed, Sealed, Delivered. He is ecstatic! It needs running boards and we need a tow ball, but it's got all the things he needs.....and its pretty. LOL

We get it home, and after a couple of days he turns to me and says, "You know the last three times I went to get a car I wanted black and I left with Dark Grey!" I looked at him and said, "You know where your mistake there is?" "Yea! Bringing you! HAHA" True story! But he is happy and glad he picked the better truck, even though it wasn't the color he wanted.

In other hubby news. He got a new job! Once he starts training I will fill you all in on the details! We are so excited for him! He will be doing something that he LOVES!
