new car and new shoes

I made a commitment not to purchase any shoes in 2008, but I gave myself one allowance, and that was to buy a pair of shoes to welcome Kevin home in, these are the ones.

While in Oklahoma last week, we got a new car, obivously there's a story/explanation, but maybe that will come in a later post. For now, here's a picture (thanks Nissan) of our new car--except ours is black, the Nissan Rogue, it's definitely a step up from our Honda, which served us well: it had 223,500 miles.
