Sunrises & Subies & Some Food, YAY!

gorgeous! 
Rob sent me that panoramic shot this morning from his work, just as the sun was making its appearance over his shop. It's not the Grand Canyon, but it is a nice solid reminder that even the ordinary doesn't have to be mundane. Not an awful view to start Monday, right?

So, yesterday as we were running errands with Syd, we rode past a dealership that happened to have a used Crosstrek sitting in the front lot. Anyone who's ever had a Subie knows that it is not often that you find a decent used Subie up for sale. People don't really part with Subarus, because well.. Subaru.

They're pretty awesome.
Yes, I'm partial.
love. ♥
For the record, all those things you hear about Subaru owners are probably true.  I believe there to be generally two types of Subie owners: The ones who have Subies to race, add functional and aesthetic modifications, and the ones who use their vehicles as road-tripping, all-terrain vessels of adventure. Whichever camp, we bond together in a weird unspoken way [kinda like Jeep owners do]. We're AWD, so yes, we do love trying to drive through snow, mud and other things that get our cars dirty. We have an affinity for roof racks and will use them. We generally enjoy doing things that include hauling other things that are necessary: canoes, kayaks, snowboards, skis, tents, backpacks, etc. [thus the need usually for a roof rack..]. A lot of us own Chacos, which we wear in and out of our Subies. We have an unwavering faith that our cars will remain reliable and persevere through whatever we ask of them.

I could literally be that "everyday average person" Subaru spokeswoman. Bring it on.
So all of that being said, we stopped yesterday to test drive the Crosstrek we saw in the lot; Kalyn has one now so I was vaguely familiar with them when they came out a year or so back. I liked hers, and am at a point with my Impreza now that it's realistic to weigh out the options of an upgrade... so after our test drive yesterday, Rob did some digging and found another couple to check out at the Subie dealership close by.

If you're not sure what a Crosstrek is:
lol.
^^ Okay, I'll admit that's a hilarious picture of a car.. any car. It looks like Heaven literally just sent that to become some sort of wonder-of-the-world and inhabit the Earth. I don't value my car that much, but I still love them. :)

My fiancé is the best for mapping out these things for me. [[♥Thank You!♥]]

Stay tuned; I didn't commit to any changes today, but it may not be far off ;)

Oh, here's a free plug for The Anderson Pub:
go there. goooo there :)
cincinnati | oh
It's amazing how many places are a hop skip & a jump from me that I've still never visited. We ventured across the street from the Subaru dealership tonight and had our first experience at the newly-reinvented Anderson Pub.. and it was delicious. If you're a quesadilla lover like I am, this is your place!
nailed it.
Their wings are apparently pretty good, too. Ask Rob ;).

Nothing like a good solid Monday to get the week going. Here's to the next four days! ♥

NEWS, Part 1: Hello, Subie!

So, I mentioned yesterday that I've been on the cusp of transition in a few different things. The course of events over this year have certainly tested me in many arenas, but just as I was afraid that feeling of being overwhelmed would take over completely, I was proved wrong. Which is what usually happens, because I serve and love a God who knows what timing is best, despite my constant and futile efforts at predicting or demanding my own schedule. Let me be clear first that I count myself among the elite few to be blessed exactly as I have desired in specific requests. I have learned over time that the biggest blessings sometimes come in the form of a declined request from my prayers. This time around, though, I had one of those gut feelings that this one was meant to be, and it came to fluition within a matter of days from discovery to completion.

Without any further adieu, meet the new Subie!!
drove up in red, drove home in blue!

you... are... mine ♥♥♥
subaru love ;)
No, folks, it's not the STI I thought I wanted, but it's my new muse and I am beyond excited to name her, drive her and of course add her to the membership roster of what apparently is the Subaru club of Kalyn & myself. I joke, I joke.
Anywho, that's the bulk of the excitement for today; there is one more big ticket item on the agenda for tomorrow & I'll letcha know if/when that pulls through, too!

For now, I'm fireside with a fleece blanket at my favorite place on planet E:

winter glory!
Happy Saturday!
