So although we’ve left all of you out of the loop for the last couple months we’d like to fill you in now. Greg and I have decided that with a new year, comes a time to change old to new. Some changes were thought through, while others left no time to think at all.
List of Old --> New Changes: in the last 2 months
Old leaky roof --> New and improved shingles
(After several soggy days and a few leaks we figured it was about time)
Old 1993 Ford Explorer --> Newer 1995 Ford Explorer
(She gave me a good 5 years, but after a blown headgasket the repair cost more than the car!)
Old way of renting movies --> Netflix!!!
(Thank goodness for no more renting and late fees!)
Old 1991 Jeep --> Newer offroading Jeep – same Jeep, same year
(The Jeep was once owned by Greg's dad and then his brother, now Greg has the keys! He has already started the process of overhauling...)

The Jeep looks great! You might not remember, but after several years the Yellow Jeep had a piece of plywood as the floor under the carpet on the drivers side. I'd be happy to donate to the cause . . .
Oh man. Dan was JUST telling me how he wanted this one back. Hope he doesn't swoop in after the changes have been made!
At least the yellow jeep HAD plywood - if I remember correctly, the brown jeep just had holes covered by carpet. I still remember some of my friends' faces as they thought they had put a hole in the bottom. Priceless.
