New Car

I should start this by clarifying that it is not my new car that I am talking about it is my moms. I just get to drive it.

Since I started driving I've been driving my mom's Mazda. I loved the Mazda. I even gave her a name. Her name was Elphaba Stitch Smith. Elphaba because she was green, Stitch because it was a 626 Mazda and Stitch was experiment 626, and Smith because that is my last name. Well as Elphaba became older, she is now 12 years older, she needed more and more repairs. It finally got to the point that every couple of months we were paying hundreds of dollars to keep her running. This week we had to get her inspected and she failed, despite the fact that we had just had her repaired in September. It got to the point wear it would actually be cheaper to buy an new car then to keep up with repairing Elphaba. So my mom bought a new car.

The new car is a red, Impreza hatchback. Now my mom is a very good sport and didn't even roll her eyes when my dad suggested the crazy lady as a name for the car, because the car is red and we are Ute fans. However, After Aly saw the car she told everyone that we couldn't call the car crazy lady because the car was a boy. Try as we might we couldn't convince Aly that the car was a girl. So we had to come up with a different name and the new name is better. Louie the Ute Mobile! Isn't that awesome. We decided that since Louie Sakoda (Utah's kicker in 2008) didn't get drafted we needed to honor him in some other way. What better way than to name a car after him.

We love Louie! The car and the person.

All Smiles

So there is this really cute boy in my institute class. I really like him. Today he asked for my number! I haven't stopped smiling since.
