Test Driving Cars

We currently have a 2007 Mazda RX-8. This car has been good to us for the duration we've had it, however, it's not baby friendly. The back seats have bucket seats, and will not fit a car seat. Friday night, Jeremy and I test drove some cars: Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda CRV, Honda Accord, Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Ford Fusion Hybrid.
We got it narrowed down to the Hyundai Sonata and the Honda Civic, but we are also going to test drive the Nissan Altima and compare all 3. I am a honda girl at heart, but I really liked the Sonata. I have owned Honda's and feel that they are really good cars and I know what I am getting when I buy one. I read up a little bit on the safety features of the Sonata and everything compares to the Accord. So, I called my granddad this morning and asked him what he has heard or knows about Hyundai. His said they are really good cars now. He proceeded to look in his Consumer Reports that rated the top cars for 2011 and #1 was the Altima, #2 was the Sonata and the Accord was #4 or #5! I was happy to hear that about the Sonata. This week, we will go test drive the Altima and re-drive the Sonata and proceed from there.
Who would have thought that picking out a new car was such hard work!! I think we are hoping to make a decision in the next few weeks.

Making progress

In preparation for Logan, we needed to do some re-arranging of rooms. We are making the scrapbooking room the spare room and the guest room will now be Logans room. I spent a good part of yesterday packing my scrapbooking stuff in boxes to make room for a bed and to also make the room look presentable. I had some mixed emotions, on one hand I was happy the room was getting cleared out but was sad because I haven't scrapbooked in years and I really started to get a desire to do it again.
Once things were boxed up, Jeremy moved them out. The majorty of what is left to do is his responsibility because it involves moving furniture. One thing I have to do is call Habitat and see if they will come pick up this dresser set that I've had for ages. I thought about selling it, but decided I didn't want to deal with it. So off to donation it goes.
The pictures I posted are of the room just about clean. Soon, it will contain a bed and our guests will have a nice place to sleep (aka my mom and sister when they come visit for Logans birth)
