My first major purchase....and it scares the crap out of me!

So I finally broke down and bought a new(ish) car yesterday. Its a 2007 Hyandi Elantra. It's a nice car, but just that major of a purchase scares me, maybe because it's my first major purchase, I'm not sure. But I took some pictures so you all can enjoy! Also, I need help naming the car...my last car was named Rhonda. The car sales guy said I should name it Mertle or Matilda...it doesn't look like it fits either one of those names.

See...Pretty!!! It's not a very good picture of the sunroof...but it's their!







Don't know if you can see the milege but it's a little over 2,000

Remembering History and then some


So I was watching television today after church and a movie was on, so the parental unit and I sat down to watch it. The movie was United 93, about the plane that crashed in the field on 9/11, and it got me to thinking about all the history that I have lived through, and the history that my parents have lived through and especially the history that Susie has lived through. 9/11 was such a tragic day in history, and it's hard to think of it as a part of history because...hey I lived during that. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about the attacks and during the rest of the day. It was early in my senior year that 9/11occurred. I barely remember the attack on the Towers in 93', but mainly just remember hearing my parents talk about it. Since I have been born I have lived through 4 soon to be 5 presidents, including 3 impeachments, 5 prophets, many many many olympic games, OJ Simpson Trials, 9/11, rising gas prices, several floods, hurricanes, etc etc etc. Just makes me in a thoughtful mood I guess.

Ok, so here is the Sarah Life Update! I am no longer in school, I ended up dropping this semester due to the fact that I took a job at the Hospital as a Medical Clerk and the hours weren't good with school. I quit Swiss Colony but gave them plenty of notice (just in case I need them to fall back on). I'm excited about this hospital job, can you say BENIFITS!!! I don't know what I'll end up doing about school, probably try and take an online class or something. I am teaching in Primary now, the 4-5 year olds...well more like the 4-7 year olds because they don't have enough teachers so I had 8 kids in my class today and everyone else's class had 1-4 kids...YUCK! My class was soo bad last week, but I came up with some class rules that I told them I expect them to follow inside and outside of the classroom. As long as they follow the rules they get to put up a sticker for the week and after 4 stickers they get a treat. The kids like this idea and they were much more reverent this week. My class actually set a good example for the older kids, especially when they walked out of class to singing time and they all had their arms folded and they went straight to their chairs. I was extremely proud, now if I could get one of my kids to stop bringing his toys to Primary we would be just fine. Well, that's the extent of my life thus far, more to come!
