Gaining Some Perspective

Tim started school on Monday and I felt like bawling my eyes out.  Why did this summer have to end, along with all my happiness (maybe a stretch)?  I need to buckup and realize that the fall season in Provo is absolutely gorgeous, and the miserable winter only lasts three-ish months.  I can handle anything for three-ish months.  Besides Tim starting his new semester, I got a job.  I've been working at ancestry.com for almost a month.  Tim gets home from school at 5:40, and I leave for work at 5:45 and get home around 10:15.  Tim is such a trooper for putting Bridger to bed every night (and cleaning the house before I get home).  I like my job overall and it has turned out to be a nice break from Bridger, bless his heart.  

As I was driving home from work last night, I saw that the engine, battery, and gas lights were on in Tim's car (I hate that car).  I thought to myself, "Carlee, what a unique time in your life.  Your husband is in school, you have a rambunctious little boy, no money, and living in your parent's apartment.  I just need to enjoy this and understand that it won't last forever and knowing me, I'll probably miss it when we move on.  Besides, half of all Provo is in the exact same situation, so stop worrying about the next phase and just enjoy this one."  Amen, Carlee, Amen.  However, its always fun to dream a little. So, when all of our debts are paid, savings adding up, and retirement underway (yadayada), I'm buying this car:
