Do You Smell That? Yep that's my new car.













Well after much research a few sleepless moments and an "intense" negotiation with the loco-al Hyundai dealer, we made the short drive to Magic Mountain and bought a car from them.  What a difference.  I don't know how the Bako Hyundai dealer stays in business with how poorly they treat their customers. 

Before we went to the first dealer, Brenda was so excited to have her first new car buying experience and naievly thought it would be "fun."  

We used to watch a reality show on A&E called "King of Cars" that follows a crazy car dealership in Vegas. They make the car buying experience look fun. Brenda was very disappointed. At one point, 4 hours into it, Brenda complained of a headache and said, "Just take me home." It was kind of like a kid who sees their mom pushing a vacuum and thinks it looks like fun. They want to try it. Then after 3 passes they realizes it's work. 

Let's just say when it comes to buying cars I put on my "game face." I get like Donald Trump and no deal is good enough until I'm convinced they are losing money by selling the car to me. I know it's ruthless, but it's my money! They can make money off the next guy. 

Long story long we ended up driving to Valencia and the buying experience was what Brenda thought the first experience would be like. We did all the negotiating online and a couple phone  calls and when walked into the dealership there; easy breezy and it was a done deal. NICE!!

Needless to say we love our new car and it will serve our growing family well.

Proof I still know where the gym is

Here I am at the gym for the first time since...forever. You know how
when you go back after a long time gone you usually over do it and
usually hurt real bad the next day? I'm not gonna do that.

Jesse Sings Crazy Train

We went to this restaurant and Jesse broke into this song so I grabbed my phone and filmed it. The quality isn't that great and the audio isn't that good but it made me smile.

Make 'em work for their food

Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner. One of the elders is from Japan.  I served my mission in Japan so I thought it would be cool to make Japanese food.  We had them make their own California rolls (Not really Japanese by the way). The Japanese Elder was the best at making the sushi, surprise, surprise. I had never made sushi before but my parents bought me a how to book with supplies, so we did it. It was fun seeing the Elder from UT trying to make this big ol' fat roll that barely closed. Then we ate Japanese Curry for the main course. It was a good time.  The Waite House Sushi Bar is now open for reservations.  But don't get your hopes up it's very exclusive.
