Sunday August 18 I went to April’s horse show. Back up on Saturday August 17 is when I got to April’s house. We had to get up at 4 in the morning on Sunday. So. Tired. When we got to the Wade House which is where we were, a storm was brewing. Sure enough it stormed at 9 o’clock in the morning and the show had to be pushed back further. A lot of people left which made sense but that also meant April would go ahead of schedule.

April was totally nervous because it was her first time carriage driving in a show. This show was different then she has ever done because not everyone gets a ribbon. In my own opinion I thought she did good, for being her first time competing. Yes she lost but that doesn’t really matter. She tried and that is what counts. Also love her outfit!

The lady in white is April’s friend Faden and her pony Schmedley. It was a fun but wet day.

Unfortunately when getting ready to leave April got a phone call that her uncle had just passed away from a heart attack. Terrible way to end that day.

Oh! Great news! April is in remission for her cancer. She went to Mayo Clinic to her alcohol shot and found out she didn’t need too! AWESOME!

For the last week we have been looking at SUV’s. I hate car shopping! Anyways our Explorer needed work and we debated on doing them or just get something different. I was like I don’t want to put anymore money in the Explorer and Jeff agreed.

We test drove the Toyota Highlander I think it was a 2010 and I loved it! We went to this one dealer and they pissed me off greatly! We walked around their lot for 40 minutes and no one ever came out to talk to us. They had one Toyota Highlander and guess what? Another couple drove it before and wanted to take it home. I was pissed because we were in their lot for so long! We would have gotten that because it was fun to drive and I liked it.

This place is called Specialty Auto Sales and Service I recommend no one going there really. They have terrible customer service! I was pretty mad and told one of them “Hey we were out there for 40 minutes.” The one guy Dave just looked at me like whatever.

However Specialty Auto Sales and Service had the Dodge Durango. Ugh I was pissed that Jeff wanted to go back. When we went back the second time we test drove the Dodge Durango and it was fun to drive. This time we dealt with the guy named Gary. He was nice but awkward at the same time.

Then Jeff and I talked about it and finally Jeff talked me into getting that Dodge Durango. I really, really wanted the Toyota Highlander like bad! It has been a very long time that I wanted, well not in a very long time like the first time ever I really wanted a vehicle specifically. I really, really wanted the Toyota Highlander! Jeff is the one who drives most and takes the vehicle to work. Even though the Dodge is fun to drive too. I am getting used to having this SUV. I have to say the back up camera is way better than the Toyota. I think one day I will get the Toyota though.

The third time we went back we really wanted to buy it and take it home. Well since it was after five we couldn’t. Have you ever heard of that?! Ridiculous I think. They said because the credit union is closed. I have never heard of a dealer not wanting to make a deal right away no matter what time it was. So we had to leave without the car which by the way. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I HATE THIS PLACE!

Fourth time coming back to buy the car finally. Seriously getting ridiculous! While we are signing the papers for the car. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?! The guy asked for my name. We have been there for almost 40 minutes signing things and asking questions. WTF?! Didn’t even know my name?! Are you serious?!

Where did these guys learn business? It was a disgrace! We are literally paying you guys money for this thing and didn’t know my name?! Yeah that was the last straw for these guys. I like literally never want to go there again and I will tell others about them. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE! Bunch of assholes. And something else the owner who was there never came and shook our hands for buying a car. WTF?! I also didn’t like how they talked down to me when they were explaining how a car loan works. I KNOW how a car loan works. Jeff happened to be going to the restroom so it was just me. I think they thought Oh because I am a woman I didn’t know how it worked.

SO…anyways we got a good car. It’s fun to drive and actually quite a smart car too. Lots of cool techie stuff. However Specialty Auto Sales and Service are a bunch of assholes.
