lucky son of a gun

so not even two hours after jon got "the car," the air conditioning went out. so he called up the rent-a-car place and they had just got a pontiac g6 in. lucky. lucky. that's all i have to say.

anyways. the insurance company totaled out his car. RIP little jetta. Jon is pretty sad because he really loved his car. I dont really get why. i guess its fast? he's such a boy. so now we are on the search for a new car. im pushing for something a little bigger...like a passat? (since he is 6'5 rolling in the tiniest car ever. sitting behind him in the car is impossible but of course he doesn't seem to mind. ughh)but we'll see where the wind takes us. Jon's pushing for a car identical to his. go figure. what's the fun in a new car thats just like the one you had? i dont get it. but oh well...he's a man. On the plus side, we bought his car for $5500, and they totaled it out for $7300. who says a car cant be a positive investment? just kidding. things are working out and jon will be home sweet home in less than a month (october 10th)!! hooray. he's been gone for SO LONG.

in other news:

i have officially rid matix of his bottle. he's not seen a bottle in 4 days and going strong. he's not super stoked about it. he wont drink milk out of a sippy cup. but out of sight, out of mind. and before long he wont even remember what a bottle is...? hopefully. haha.

i bought my halloween costume!!! and couldnt be more excited about it. agh. its a childrens large, but surprisingly fits pretty well. i cant wait for halloween! i just have a few minor adjustments and then have to start making jon and matix's costumes. yes, im gonna sew. (with the help of mi madre). i bet you guys all cant wait to see us on halloween! aladdin. jasmine. and abu. yes. you love it.

this is what i have in mind for matix. too bad its 75$ on etsy so ill have to recreate my own. but it's freaking adorable. i figure this is the only year ill be able to make him be what I want him to be. :)
