Bye Bye GTI

We sold my GTI yesterday. I have to admit, that I'm a bit sad to see it go. It was a good car, both practical and fun to drive. I realized last night that it was the first car Jeff and I bought together as husband and wife. Perhaps that's why I'm feeling all sentimental about it. I usually don't get attached to material stuff like that.

We sold it to a 60 year old school teacher from a town about an hour and a half south of us. He plans to auto cross it, and I'm glad to see it will finally have the chance to live up to its full potential. My coworkers have been trying to get me to do that with it ever since we bought it. :)

Siblings and Cousins

We had the pleasure of a visit from Nathan and Ashley a couple of weekends ago. They brought Thor and Ares down with them, and we all got to watch as four Yorkies met each other for the first time. Thor and Ares are four and a half years younger than their cousins, Fang and Errol, which was rather apparent by the amount of energy displayed by each pair. We managed to get through the weekend without any major fights, though there were certainly several displays of dominance exhibited (if you have dogs, you'll know what I mean here). Here are a few pictures of the foursome in action.
