Without a Car

So, I didn’t want to post on here until something exciting happened. Anything exciting that might be happening to me would most likely mean that I’m one step closer to being out of here.

So as of Tuesday I sold my car. This was a huge step in the process and a painful one at that. This car has been with me since I was 15; it is my baby. It has been through many of road trips and it brought me to where I am today.

I took Steve and Gina and the family out to dinner to celebrate the selling of my car. We went to a great sushi place in Port Orchard and yet I still have no idea what it is called. The boys were very weird about it at first but I had them try some of my Salmon sashimi and they both loved it. As for Xander, the kid eats everything and he loved the rolls that Steve ordered.

Last night we met up with our cousin Kevin. He just got married last weekend and him and his wife are on their honeymoon in Seattle and wanted to meet for dinner. He left it up to us to find a restaurant. Well since we don't really go out much and bringing the kids really narrows down our choices. We looked up restaurants for 2 hours and finally decided on Sakura. It is a Japanese Steakhouse so they cooked the food right in front of us which I thought the boys would love. They hated it, every grill that made the huge flame when they first get to your table made them scream. Although this was semi-hilarious, it was also something we worked on every time it happened. I promised them that we wouldn't let anything happen to them and we wouldn't take them somewhere that they could get hurt. Jaxon ate all of his food like a champion and some of mine. After dinner we went to get doughnuts from Krispy Kreme, since the only places by our house that sell doughnuts are grocery stores it is a nice change.

As for what I am doing in all of my free time, I started training for a 5k. There is a really cool program called Couch to 5k and it basically has you working up to a 5k in 9 weeks. My issue with running usually is that I jump right in at full force and end up getting shin splints or some other type of injury, so taking it slow is working very well. On my days that I am not running I am walking in the morning. As of next week I will start running everyday of the week just some days more severe than others. I am also reading a lot. I just finished the hilarious book called I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max. It is a bunch of stories that this guy put together about his college partying basically. It is insane and there was one part I was sitting in my room laughing so hard I was crying. Anyways, I am trying to read as many of Steve’s books as possible before I leave. Our weekends seem to fly by but the week days are pretty slow and now I am carless so I am stuck in the house for the most part.
