Jason has always been into seeing how efficiently he can drive a car. He would love to put our old cars in neutral and see how far he could coast or how long he could go on a tank of gas and so on. It was a given his new car would be some kind of hybrid. He was pretty bummed his Honda didn't last a couple more years since they're apparently coming out with some new stuff soon. Until he test drove the Ford C-Max Energi. It's a hybrid AND a plug in. He's having so much fun seeing how far he can go before the engine turns on and seeing if he gets a 100% when he brakes. The best part is there is a screen with a branch and leaves. The more efficiently you drive the more leaves appear or disappear if you brake too hard for example. He plugs it in during the night and then it's ready to go in the morning. It's the perfect car for a techy guy. I have to admit I really like it too!
We were supposed to meet Ty and Dana for dinner in Atlanta Saturday night. We had our babysitter come early so we could go by the dealer since we were test driving the car for the day. Well, we started talking to the guy and next thing we know we're filling out paper work. Of course that takes forever so we were super late meeting them for dinner. They stalled very well for us and we ended up being like normal Atlantians eating late instead of our usual "we're way too young to be eating so early" selves. I even ran into an old friend I've know since 4th grade. Definitely a small world!
(Only 55 days until Jennifer's wedding! It was a fun weekend doing wedding stuff while she was in town).
Wow...so many amazing posts that I'm just speechless. Thank you so much for sharing all of these things. We agree with your ode to Jason, but you need an ode to Emily...you are equally as amazing as Jason! You go girl!
