Car Dealerships
Let me just say that I will NEVER buy a car in a military town. They screw you (or try to) every time. I've spent my past three days dealing with TWO dealerships, 2 credit unions, and stupid sales people. I really don't feel like explaining everything, but I can tell you at one point we "owned" a 2008 Mustang for about 13 hours. We took it back. Want to know why? Because I realized that the price they gave us didn't include the rest that we owe on our trade in... Outlaw (the HHR). So we were paying TWO notes for only ONE car. YEAH RIGHT! Took that bottom line stock piece back!
The moral of the story is wait for a good deal, wait and make a big down payment (not a trade), and just have two cars instead of just one.
I promise, I won't take them to Mt. Scott!
So, about 7 months ago we went bouldering on Mt. Scott. I stopped about 3/4 the way up and took my Oakleys off to put up my hair again... We finally get to the top and guess who realizes that they never took off their sunglasses from hanging on her shirt to put back on her face? Yeah, me. So, RIP pretty bronze polarized Oakley Darts... You're missed.
About two weeks ago I finally got a new pair! Thank God! I missed my good quality sunglasses. I basically live in them from March-October. I promise I'll buy a cheap pair next time I decide to go climb a mountain.
And this weekend Aaron finally gets his new pair. I bought his first pair 3 months after we started dating for Christmas 2008. So, I guess after 2.5 years he deserves a new pair, right? Especially because I only had mine for 6 months and then lost the ones he bought me on our honeymoon... haha
Home is where the heart is. Or maybe it's where the Army sends us?
So, we are now at the point where projected orders should come in; give or take a few weeks. Projected is the operative word there. Yes, that means they could still change, but is about 75% a sure thing. We hear that our options at this point are something like this:
Ft. Hood, TX
Ft. Bliss (El Paso), TX
Ft. Sill (Lawton), OK - we are here now
Germany
and Maaayyyyybbbbeeee Ft. Bragg, NC
Well, it wouldn't be completely bad if we stayed here in Lawton. Sure, Oklahoma SUCKS... but we wouldn't have to move... I already have a job... it works. And we could basically just take leave to come home to Louisiana after graduation and then come back home to Lawton.
Ewwww did I just call Lawton home? I honestly wouldn't know what to do with myself if we came back home to LA for a bit. There are so many people we miss (and a lot that we don't), so many people Aaron still has to meet, food that we miss, places to shop that just don't exist in OK, and ahhhh its just so over whelming. Then again... Lawton is where Aaron and I live, work, and everything in between... hmmm...
I don't have too much to say for today. What about you?
Dont go to Bliss.... IT SUCKS! Good night life but the town is packed with rude horrible people. Hood would be okay but again go out of town to live. Sill would be okay but that means you will be there for the next three years. Do you think you can handle that? Do you think you can handle Carlsbad? LOL Germany would be cool.... but you are away from your family and Aaron would have to be close to the top of his class to get that. Hmmm and Bragg..... WOULD BE AWESOME BECAUSE I AM HERE! LOL Well I hope you get some answers soon. :) Let me know hun
