...........
I've been reminded these last 2 days that fall is on it's way.
We had Nich & Sarah over for dinner on Wednesday and on Thursday when I woke up I thought for sure that Nich had played some nasty joke on us and changed all the times on the clocks in our house. It was still really dark outside and normally it's pretty sunny. I checked my phone and saw that it was indeed 6:00 am. So depressing! I don't like it when it's still dark out when I wake up!
This morning wasn't much different. I am so sad for summertime to end and so not looking forward to another cold winter.
Enough complaining about that though. We're crossing our fingers that we get a new(er) car this weekend! We found what seems to be a pretty good deal on a Subaru Forester in Milwaukee so we're heading over there in the morning to see if we can haggle them a little. Both Steve and I have been feeling like our Subaru is going to die any day now. It's not been so happy for the last year or so, but it's just getting worse and worse. We are huge fans of Subaru's and learned last winter that it is kind of nice to have an AWD car here in the winter, so we're really hoping this one works out. Since neither Steve nor I are mechanically inclined we were going to take our knowledgeable friend Mike with us to check out the car, but he just told us last night that he's has to work now, so we're kind of nervous about going without him. Hopefully all will work out okay and we'll come home with a better car tomorrow!
On to other news....Steve met with the HR rep from work to sign some paperwork yesterday. He came home with all of the benefit information and I'm sending him back today to make sure they in fact gave him all of the paperwork he needs. He didn't bring back anything but what the medical insurance covers (which seems to be good) and the cost of dental for me. There were no amounts listed for what my medical insurance would cost, and he thinks that the company might cover me 100%! with no monthly premiums!! How awesome would that be?!? If definitely would help us to feel a little better about the low salary! I don't want to get too excited yet, because it truly does seem to good to be true, but my fingers are crossed.
Time to head off to my last day of work before we head into yet another busy weekend....

Consumer Report's September issue rated the Subaru Forester #1 for Compact Sporty SUV's. Sounds like a good choice!
