So I just got back from my 5.5 days at home back in the Vern with Sarah. It was a great weekend/half of a week where I was just able to relax, have fun, and enjoy the family before getting going hardcore into soccer season. As I stepped out of the car in my driveway on Friday, my hood started smoking and smelled of some burnt transmission oil. My transmission had stalled as I came around the last road before home. On Tuesday, it was finally able to be looked at and we found out that my $600 car needed a $1000 transmission replacement. Not good. Anyways, I'm extremely thankful Sarah and I made it home without any problems (somehow). Tuesday afternoon after we heard the "good" news (it's all in the perspective), my dad, mom, Sarah, and I went car shopping. We found a 2003 Pontiac Vibe which I am now the proud owner of. Talk about a stressful car search though. I was basically limited to Tuesday evening to find one since I had to come back to Columbus today. This car was going to be a graduation present next year but came a year early. I can't be more thankful.
Overall, the weekend was great. Grandma's on Saturday, relaxing Sunday with some bogge pong, Six Flags on Monday with the whole family plus my aunt's family. It was soooo hot but entirely enjoyable. Tuesday consisted of car shopping. And I drove back today. It was all so nice. Plus I got to eat some great homecooked food. Can't complain there.
Time for soccer for the next year. I hope I'm ready.

Thanks for inviting me to the fun, I didn't wanna go...
Vibes are supposed to be one of the best cars, with super gas mileage! My mom's thinking of getting me one for graduation next year so you'll have to tell me how you like it.
And rock on to blogspot.
