I never thought I would get my car but it really did happen. I ordered it on March 30 and it has been the longest 14 weeks I have ever waited for a purchase!
It arrived sometime this week. I just happened to email the sales guy on thrusday evening about the status and he emailed me back today saying that "great timing on your email...you were on my call list...your car is in."
I want to do a recap.
-I had a weird day...first someone I work with is having a hard time in their personal life. I really like this person because they are good people....people like that don't deserve to have such unhappy moments. I worry about my friends during their hard times.
-Second I have been currently looking for another job. Plain and simple...I need more of a challenge (I'm bored with my job) and I need more money. Money makes the world turn round. And I'm sick of not progressing in my department...I have hit a wall. Anyway, I applied for a job a few days ago...I thought I had it...I had the experience ...maybe too much experience...I had good references within the bank who highly recommend me...but I got a call in the afternoon which at first started off as a interview then I was told "you are very very close second" and if it wasn't for someone in "our world" who also applied (who knows the systems we use) and who is our first choice...you would have the job. I was told that the job was not offered yet to the first choice but that they were "negotiating". Whatever that means. I'm hoping the negotiating doesn't work out. Anyway, I'm suppose to have a follow up call on Monday letting me know if things will work out for "choice number one" or for me.
-Third I'm riding TRAX at 4pm because i'm going home early to feed the pups, let them out to go potty and straighten things around in case our friend Matthew comes over. We haven't seen Matthew in about four years I think. He is married and made it out to utah on a road trip with his wife and her three siblings. Anyway on that ride, I read my email about my car.
-Fourth, Matthew ends up cancelling dinner which works out because i'm at the car dealership around 5:30pm. I get financed and fill out the paperwork, as I did that the car was parked right outside the office I was sitting at...so I was looking at it the whole time. MY new BABY. My first baby...I have never really owned my own car.
When I first looked at the car ...it had "ONE" Mile on it. No SHIT...one mile. Then it was taken away to get washed and gased up. When I drove it off the lot it had "TWO" miles.
As a New Yorker, I didn't drive ...hardly ever. I got my driver's license when I was 18 my freshman year at BYU. Since I have been married, Ryan and I have only had one car...the Jetta...she has been a great little car for the past seven years...but I hardly drove her. Ryan has told me that this is my car...and that he will hardly drive it. I'm a little nervous about it...cause it is so new and beautiful. I know that I will be careful ...I just fear other people and their driving skills.
I guess this was an eventful day. Not sure what I'm going to name her yet ( I have to name her)...maybe "la espera" meaning "the wait" or maybe "catorce" for "fourteen".
