Big Changes

Getting a truck can't really be called a big change, but for us it is.  Our first car that Zane and I bought together was a Corolla.  I had a long commute, it was reliable, and it worked for us.  Zane then graduated from college and got his first job.  We thought he would be able to take the bus at the park and ride (it is a bus for business commuters going downtown) but because of where his clients were located, he couldn't.  We were in the process of buying our first house and needed a second car quick that had good gas mileage as we were now both commuting.  We went with what we knew worked well and bought another Corolla.  We were teased of course for owning two Corollas and when our neighbor had parties, we knew we weren't invited solely because we didn't own a truck (after all, everyone that came to the party had a truck.)  A few weeks ago, Zane's Corolla broke down and so if was time to trade it in.  We can now say we own zero Corollas and maybe we will get invited to the next truck party.

Now for the really big change...Zane is no longer a public accountant.  He has worked for one of the big four accounting firms for the last seven years.  It has been a great job giving him the experience he needs but it has required a lot of hours.  Although his new job is still downtown (he can take the bus to this one though), he should have a more manageable schedule allowing him to spend more time with us.  We are all excited for this huge change!
