New Treasures

What to say about this week? It's been a busy one, with lots going on. Last weekend, Merrick, CC, and I went thrifting. CC need a black skirt for her choir concert this week. While we did find a black skirt, Merrick scored big time. I found on the top of one of the racks, two big bags full of ties. This particular thrift store typically sells their ties for about $5/tie. These bags were packed with about 40 ties each and labeled $9.99. Merrick was over the moon. He decided he wanted to call his cousins and see if they wanted in.

What followed would best be described as a tie draft. They took turns, round by round picking their favorite ties. Merrick was definitely geeking out about the whole thing.

With her new skirt, CC was ready for her choir concert on Thursday. Choir concerts tend to not be my favorite experience, but this was short and sweet and she did great. She did look a little like she was in pain throughout the concert. Afterwards, she said she was really nervous. Luckily for her, she has lots of concerts this year to get over her nerve.

The week was capped off with some big excitement yesterday. Jeremy and I drove about an hour out of town to check out a car we were interested in. One thing led to another and we ended up coming home with a new car. We are now the proud owners of a new 2025 Nissan Pathfinder. I wanted a sunroof and leather seats. Turns out to get those features, we would need the platinum trim level. To say this thing is fully loaded, is an understatement. It's a big change from the Pilot. I don't know. I'm excited about the new car, but I'm still not sure I need all the bells and whistles. It may take some time to get used to.
