Surprise!!!

Now that Paul won't have interent connection for the day, I can share my excitement with you. No, no baby on the way. But wouldn't that have been news!

After 15 years of driving the same vehicle, Paul is getting a new truck! We've been talking about this for a couple years. I've called several dealers with my specifics:

• 2001 or newer Nissan Frontier
• 4-door
• short bed
• non-metallic blue

Every dealer was telling me they didn't have one, and that was it. I called Gilbert Auto because I had a secret shop phone call to make. I liked these guys, but had to call on a new Jeep. When I got there I told them what really brought me there. I did tell them that I was indeed car shopping. Within an hour they found online the truck I wanted. It was in Utah, but they would have it shipped up that next week. I was hoping the truck would be here Friday so Paul could have it before he got home that night, but it wasn't in yet. I got the call this Monday the 16th it was in and would be ready in a couple days after they detailed it. I went in Wednesday, signed paperwork, and brought it home.

Paul is on his way home today from another trip, so he doesn't know about it (unless he got all detective on me and found out). So when he pulls in tonight at 6:30, he'll find out. I'm totally giddy over it.

The great thing is that we are paying cash for most of it and I took out a small $4000 loan that I'll have paid off in less than 18 months since my van will be paid off in about a month. Cool, huh?
