Wow!

Yesterday was a good day. Hubby and I went and got our taxes done, we'll be receiving a nice amount of moolah back this year. We also found out that his terminal was awarded Terminal of the Year, which means he gets a check for $500, a nice dinner, and an extra vacation day. After getting our taxes done we went and ate a very yummy lunch together and then went to see "Date Movie." The movie was a fairly big disappointment. There were a few funny spots but for the most part it was very mediocre. To brighten things up after that we headed down to the Pontiac dealership to check out the G6 GT Sedan.

I really want a new car now, but I have to wait until I get a job. After driving the rented Mazda6 for half a week I'm finding it hard to deal with driving my crappy 2000 Hyundai Accent that has had the check engine light on for 2 years. (Yes, I've taken it to a mechanic twice and the light just keeps coming back). I calculated all the money from taxes, bonuses, savings accounts, and selling my car and I estimated that we could pay for a G6 with all that money until I got a job. Too bad I need to have a hefty down payment. Grrr!

During lunch Hubby and I got on the subject of my graduation, it's coming up in 8 weeks! It was so wonderful to hear him say how really proud of me he is. He told me that if he could afford it, he would buy me the most awesome graduation gift ever, but he can't. Apparently he has a plan to lobby my parents for something really amazing that he thinks I deserve. It was so sweet to watch him get all worked up over how insanely proud he is of me for how hard I've worked. It made me want to cry. I thanked him for all the support he's given me over the last 4 years. My parents have been there, but he's been my hugest cheerleader and the person who has pushed me the most to work so hard. I did tell him that even though a graduation gift would be nice, I feel like the real gift is the one I'm giving myself, the degree. I told him if anything I'd just love a party with all of our family and friends there to celebrate. My sister is flying in for it and that's a gift in itself. I can't believe I'll be out of college in 8 weeks. It's insane how close it is to being over, and I couldn't be happier.
