We made a spur-of-the-moment decision to road trip to Seattle yesterday to do some serious car-looking and meet up with my friend Sylvia and her very cute son Nicholas who were in town from North Carolina. I had long ago promised Dae that when he graduated, he could get whatever car he wanted. In return, the only thing I asked for is that I have total control over our finances - for the rest of our lives. haha! And I'm actually not kidding. For every 10 things that Dae is better at than me, one thing I have him on is finances, retirement, and planning for our future. Let's just say he is not quite the planner that I am, and I am not even that much of a planner. As mentioned before, if we planned life according to Dae, we would be the proud owner of multiple time shares and overpriced vehicles, have a hundred dollars in a 401(k) and our kids would be going to community college. Luckily my mom and dad taught me a thing or two and I know the fundamentals, even if I stray every now and again.
So...we did get Dae the car of his dreams. I have actually never seen him as excited as I saw him today and it was really nice.
(Sidenote...Olin says "Mama" now!!!)

Audi, baby! You can just see leelee's head outside the passenger window. |

Le Panier bakery in Pike Place Market. Olin absolutely loved the buttery, flaky croissants. Can you blame the guy? |
 |
Do you see what I see? Smack dab in the center of downtown Seattle, a City Target. What a dream! |
 |
Pike Place Fish Market. They threw a few fish just for fun. |

A photo to capture tooth #F. He's got a grand total of 3 teeth. |

Sylvia & Nicholas, 13 months (This guy walked at 9 months! Poor Olin...so behind) |
Wow, that sure is a GORGEOUS car indeed! I can understand why Dae had his eyes on that model!
ReplyDeleteAnd that little Olin with his huge new front tooth...he could not be any cuter. But I am going to miss his toothless smiles forever!...
Nice for Dae. We are witnesses to the agreement. Oh, I went to Dr. Sushi and thought of you guys.
ReplyDeleteOh in the Mini no more???
ReplyDeleteMini is going to my dad. How was dr. Sushi?
ReplyDeleteOooh, nice!! Jason can't tell from the side view what the model is. His car identification skills must be slipping. :)What is it? Congrats...
ReplyDeleteDid you guys buy the car before you met up with us that day?! It was so great to see you and meet the boys! Thanks for the chat/advice too!
