"Dude, where's my car"

We learned something last week. We live in the hood. Yup, if you didn't know our car was stolen. Meghann woke up to go to work to find that our car was not under our car port. After a few laughs and head scratches we couldn't help but think, "Dude, where's my car?"



Dan filed a police report Tuesday morning and they found our car abandoned 10 minutes away on Thursday. Friday after work we went to identify the body. Yup, it was her. Poor thing. Punk kid just took her for a joy ride around the block, ripped out our entire middle console and did some damage to the steering wheel column (we're guessing to get the car started). Other than that, no damage done.

We were actually hoping they really messed it up so we could get the money from our insurance to buy a new car. But of course not. That would be too easy. Since the car's not totaled, we have to pay to get it fixed; which we are just ecstatic about.

Here's some pics of the little lady in rough condition. She'll be back to her old self soon.


Moral to situation: We don't have one. Don't live around hood-lims???

Happy New Year!

We wish everyone a Happy Holiday season! This season we made it back home to Missouri for the holiday. We had a fun time visiting both Meghann's family and Daniel's family this Christmas. It was nice to get out of this mid 70 degree weather in Phoenix and get to some freezing weather for a white Christmas, although by the end of the trip it was nice to get back to more comfortable weather.

We made the NICE list this year (phew!) Santa brought Dan what he always wanted, an xbox 360 with Fifa 2010 (Meg and Santa are gonna have to have a talk about that one), while Meg got a Croc hair straightener! More than anything, we felt very blessed to be home with our families again.

After Christmas we headed down to Florida for the second consecutive year, though this time it was to be apart in Meghann's best friend from college Wedding Ceremony (congratulations Hannah and Mike). It turned out great and we were happy that we were able to participate. As you can tell Meghann had a great time... As was Daniel!! Doesn't she make a lovely bridesmaid?



We are still incredibly in love and hope that all your new resolutions come to pass!!

Love Meghann and Daniel Tracy

Happy Holidays

The holiday season is upon us! Disclaimer: no photos :(

The fabulous weekend began with what else? A three day work/school week! Which let's face it, cannot be beat.

Meghann's sister Stephanie (and family) came into town to visit Steph's in-laws which coincidently live in Tempe, AZ. So good news for us, we got to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family!

As usual patrons celebrating Thanksgiving, we snacked all day and ate a huge turkey feast, ate some pie and repeat. The night ended with Meg's two nieces, Madeleine and Olivia and nephew, Noah having a sleep over at our place! Nothing like a slumber party with Aunt Meghann and Uncle Daniel! The short story is, Noah (on more than one occasion) asked if he could move in with us. Beat that other aunt's and uncles.

The rest of the weekend concluded of braving the crowds on Black Friday with other crazy bargain shoppers, drive-in theaters, more family dinners, putting up Christmas decorations and some much anticipated sleeping in and chill-axing.

We hope everyone had a fulfilling holiday and is getting excited for the Christmas season! But first, Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without saying what we are thankful for.
