Hasta la Vista, Baby

Today they started their trek back to AZ...in Jade's new ride- she managed to sell her '01 Nissan Xterra for more than we paid for it a year and a half ago, and negotiated a much newer & fancier '08 Jeep Patriot (w/ the same mileage) for the exact same price!!
We'll miss her this summer, but am impressed with her growing responsibility & good choices. She picks up her full-time nanny job again this week, has an A in her summer class (getting ready to start another), and may be able to get a jump on her internship before school starts...and spend time with the boyfriend while she stays with the bestie (at her family's house). Glad Ryan got to come spend more time here. He really is a great guy...even got me a beautiful white rose bouquet before they left.
