Our First Big Purchase


No, no it's not a house...what a bummer, huh? :) But maybe it's one of the next best things. We purchased a stroller and I am so giddy over it! Last week I had girls camp...finally. Up to girls camp I kept telling myself, after I was all finished with that then I could focus on baby. Let's just say, I haven't wasted a single moment.
We went shopping on Saturday and purchased the Bob Revolution Stroller. I have been eyeing it for months and REI had it on sale so we figured we might as well save a few dollars. I love everything about the stroller: big back wheels so we can take it on trails and into the wilderness, lots of storage space, great color, shocks so Snap will have a comfy ride, feels light as a feather to push, folds up with one hand, has a carseat adaptor if we want, but here's the kicker--the one thing that sealed the deal for me...it's made in good ol' Boise, Idaho! Now if someone in Boise can't make a stroller that will stand up to the great outdoors, then I don't know who can! :) Can't wait to use it. It should arrive at the Santa Monica REI in a couple weeks and I just might have to do one of two things: 1) borrow a friends baby just to "really" test it out or 2) push Richard around the block. I bet after a long day at work, he wouldn't mind too much! He's a pretty good sport you know!


Just look how lovely it is...won't we look cute?!

The Title is the Toughest Part

Now I know how my students at school feel when I tell them how important the title is when they are writing stories for class.

I had a little time while Rich was at the Stake Center and I figured that I would get started on my blog...I got as far as the title page and was COMPLETELY stumped! When Rich arrived home I had him use his creative juices to come up with something...let's just say we were cracking up! We decided on Snapshots but here's what it could have been:

  • Kimberlog
  • Diaries of a Not So Mad Housewife
  • How To Turn Your Husband From a Geek Into a Stud in 7,281 Easy Steps
  • My SoCal Life
  • Who Started This Whole Blog Thing Anyway?
  • A Day in the Life of
  • Richard Atchley's a Big Fat Idiot and Other Myths

To name only a few! Hope you enjoy this. I am not certain how often I will write and I imagine that for the next few months they will be "Snap" shots, but I figure that's what most of you want to see and hear about anyway! ENJOY!!
