Coca Cola 600, Rav 4's and New Jobs

So this is a first blog. Where to start?

Well, it's almost 7 am on Sunday morning. Donovan's sleeping and as usual on the weekends, I'm up early. I'm actually kinda excited. Donovan won tickets to the Coca Cola 600 race today. We've been to races before, and actually, we've been to races here at Lowe's Motor Speedway, but these aren't just regular tickets he won, these are suite tickets. That's right, dress codes and all, we're VIP for the day. We even have a special parking pass. For those of you who have been to a race before, that's pretty amazing. So we want to be there by about 10 just to browse around and then the suite opens at 12. They serve refreshments and at some point take you down to the pits and you can get a first hand look at the cars and drivers in the garage. Then they take you back and serve you dinner. That's right! That's how you do NASCAR, baby! Anyway, as anyone could see, I'm super excited. *I even bought an outfit to wear today, lol)

About two weeks ago, Donovan and I were at the Toyota dealership where he works just looking at cars and I realized that my '07 Toyota Corolla just wasn't cool enough anymore. So I started looking at the Rav 4's which are like a car meets a mini-van and makes this pretty cool SUV. After much convincing, hopefully Tuesday I can pick it up. Since Donovan works at Toyota, we're getting a pretty good deal. I can't wait, and I hate Memorial Day for making me have to wait even longer. I'm getting the Pacific Blue color and it's beautiful! I can't wait for my trip to Orlando to show it off ;)

Also, in the past month, I've officially became a working woman again. After an extensive 4 months off * :) * I finally had to bite the bullet and get a job. I couldn't seem to find anything in the office/admin area, so I thought creatively and started looking on Craigslist. I found two families who are neighbors who needed a babysitter full time, working sometimes for each family. They both have three girls each. The Glynns have Anna, Emily, and Grace *I call her Gracie* and the O'Farrells have Annalisa, Christina, and Meara. Most days I'm just watching Grace while her sisters are at school. A few days a week I'm watching Meara. Overall it's a wonderful job and sometimes I don't feel l ike I'm even working. Then, seeing an evening job opportuinty, I took it. It's taking care of a 7 year old boy Kaleb 4 out of 5 days during the week. He lives right down the street and it's cool since I bring him to my house for dinner and stuff, so I still see Donovan when he comes home and can eat dinner with him, although it's interupted every 5 seconds from a question from the inquisitive Kaleb.

That is an official update on what's going on rather recently. I'm hoping to keep this updated and eventually upgrade my knowledge on how this works to add pictures.

Time to get ready to be VIP for the day. See ya!
