100,000 miles

100,000 miles

So do y’all remember this post? Paul and I got our car – Corrie – shortly before we got married. She still had dealer tags when we drove off to our honeymoon! This week, Corrie crossed over 100,000 miles! That means we have gone 65,000 miles together in the past 3 1/2 years. This makes me get all mushy and romantic, thinking of all the fun times we’ve had together. It also signifies the time spent together and going places…

Vancouver2010

I have been enjoying watching the Olympics. Amy and I watched the opening ceremonies on Friday, and I’ve been catching it in the evenings and sometimes in the afternoons as well. I’ve also been live-tweeting, which has been fun! (Especially when people respond to me!) Today I discovered that the USA channel is showing Olympic coverage too, so I am currently tuned in to the US-Germany woman’s curling game. I am trying really hard to make heads or tails of…
