The photo to the right is our 'commuter' car. It is a 1994 Saturn SL1. Actually this was Heather's car when we first met, so since it was paid for it has just sort of
followed us around for the last 9 years. I have to force myself not to complain about this car. (As a guy, I want 300HP+, a manual transmission, and 18 inch forged aluminum wheels, etc) This car has 80HP, a slushbox transmission, and 14 inch steel wheels with stock hub caps. If you need to pass someone on a two lane road, you need to plan 15 minutes in advance. Oh, wait I wasn't going to complain was I...

Since we really can't afford a new 300HP 'commuter' car, I just decided to give the car a gift for turning the big 200K...
...a Sirius radio to keep me company during the commute. Logan has no decent rock/alternative stations since they stopped broadcasting 94.9 The Blaze up here. Now I can finally listen to all of my Hair bands from the 90's. I love channel 20 'Octane' and 23 'Hair Nation' and no commercials on the new radio. Anyway...
So, other blog moms, have your husbands' chime in every once in a while. I would love to read about anything guy related.

Robert you have inspired me to start a "Man Moment" segment on my blog- I will give Andrew free reign to blog about whatever he wants (which will mainly be about cars and hunting) so you can have a little enjoyment and not just read about cupcakes and the latest styles! haha! We need to come up and hagn out with you guys one of these days!
I love it! David always looks at everybodies blogs but never responds. I will need to encourage him to join the husband blogging!
I thoroughly enjoyed this post. I can imagine you singing along with your music on Sirius (although, you would actually sound good!) The day I get Christian to post something on the blog is the day the world falls apart. But I won't stop trying to get him to anyway! (He enjoys reading, he just doesn't like writing)
