<br />
Here is my previous desk.<br />
<br />
<img class="tb_img" src="/content/users/jon/0808/DeskBefore0806.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="image" /><br />
<br />
And here is my new and improved desk. Much more functional, a tad more spacious, and a bit more decorative (thanks to my wife). And organized!<br />

It&#039;ll do! :)<br />

And dinner out!</title><link>https://estrip.org/articles/read/jon/45257/New_Car_And_dinner_out_.html</link><description><![CDATA[For a long time now, our car situation was causing us some troubles. Mainly we didn&#039;t have enough room for our 2 kids and all the crap we take everywhere to accommodate every possible variation or difficulty that could happen (I shoulda been a boy-scout). <br />
<br />
Anyways, here is the story: apparently my wife&#039;s sister recently bought a van for her growing family and just so happened to bring my wife along to help pick up the new vehicle. Makes sense so far. <br />
<br />
My loving sister-in-law talks up the new van for a week or so, my wife and I have felt the need to grow out of our current car into something bigger (despite the gas prices, yikes). So, with our current state of family growth and my sister-in-law&#039;s slight pushing to go shop for a car... she offers to take Carolyn (my wife) for some test drives while I watch the kids @ home. Again, no problem, all is well. No worries.<br />
<br />
I get a call from my wife. Who says they found an affordable car fitting all our needs. We talk for a bit and come to the conclusion, &quot;sure, why not. buy it&quot;. Problem solved, all is well.<br />
<br />
Carolyn tells me this morning when I get up that her sister is taking us out to dinner on Friday night. I said &quot;great!, whats the occasion?&quot;. Apparently my sister-in-law got $200 for a referral for us buying our new car and felt guilty about it and wants to treat us.<br />
<br />
This Friday night, I am totally buying the most expensive meal available wherever we go. Ha!<br />
<br />
<br />

Oh, the new family vehicle is a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. Yay! <br />
