Oh the joys of being an adult

So for most of you who didn't know, for the past couple months we have been looking for another car because next semester our schedules are going to be so hectic, that one car just wasn't going to do the trick. So after countless calls, texts messages, trips all over the place, and hours spent on craigslist and KSL, we FINALLY found and bought a car. Let me tell you, we haven't been this relieved in a long time. We were getting down to two weeks until we had to have a car, and we only had a certain amount of money we could spend out of pocket and we weren't sure if that was exactly going to happen.

We made a spontaneous trip down to Utah yesterday to look there because they had a better selection than they did here in Idaho. As we were driving down we called and talked to three different people with three different cars. They were all sold before we even were able to see them, and one guy was selling it as we spoke to him on the phone...talk about disappointment. We were so frustrated, we just went to my friend Ally's apartment and crashed there to forget about it all until in the morning. I literally was saying so many prayers that night it was insane. So we got up early to look and make calls. The first car we looked at was it. We bought it. Huge weight lifted off our shoulders. Heavenly Father knew exactly what he was doing, and i'm glad that we were patient enough to wait until this weekend to find it. The car is a 97 Nissan Sentra. Super sweet little car, it definitely deserves a name. So i'm thinking of a clever one. But I will post pictures on FB hopefully within the next couple days! So stay posted!

We now are literally laying in bed barley awake. I feel like we ran from Utah to Rexburg rather than drive. Ps...I don't suggest driving to Utah, or traveling anywhere alone, it's boring, and no matter how many CD's you have. It doesn't get anymore exciting. So yes, we did call each other numerous times to try and save ourselves from boredom...didn't quite work out. Poor Thor was a good sport through all this last minute traveling. I literally think he was way more excited than we were to be home, and we wanted to be home reeaalllllyyyy bad! But he is now fast asleep in his kennel while Ty and I fight sleep as we watch Mean Girls :) haha

Anyways, I drive that car with a smile and I can now sleep stress free and we can enjoy the last two weeks of our summer in peace! We are super excited to be going to Yellowstone this coming weekend to go to the playmill, and the Island park and Yellowstone again with our awesome neighbors! I am determined to make these last two weeks fun and relaxing before craziness starts up again with school!

That's it for an update on the Clarks! Hope ya'll had a great Saturday! :)
