In the past week lots of good things have been happening in our 

little lives..and it's times like these where we have to stop & count our blessings.

first things first:

 I got an official Esthetician job..and it's my dream job.

it's about time, i know. 

secondly:

my family will say otherwise, but i don't think I'm that bad of a driver. 

really I'm not.

but since turning 16 i've had some kind of magnetic force on my car or something

because cops love me. i will be going the SAME speed as the person next to me but they 

never fail to choose to pull ME over. Since having these little run ins, you can imagine what it does to my car insurance...

(side note: when Jason asked my dad if he could marry me, my dad told him that one thing you need to know about annie is that she's really expensive -- car insurance. psh.)

anywho..so this february my record was finally CLEARED because it had been 3 years since anything has happened and my record was good and my monthly car insurance payment went down significantly. 

but oh wait, of course..the day after..I GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

i hope you're laughing by now because it's just become comical in my life.

now, the girl who hit me claimed it was my fault but she was misunderstood ..

it was all her. So for a couple of weeks our insurance companies went back and forth with the claims

and i have been sick to my stomach about the results since the accident. 

finally i got the call from my insurance guy and he said that they settled at 25-75, 

meaning i am 25% at fault & in CA that is a FAULT FREE accident.

i'd be lying if i said i didn't cry when i got the call.

SUCH. A. BLESSING.

and last but not least:

we got iphone4's.

now, i know that's not really a blessing but we are obsessed with them. :)

& this is totally irrelevant to this post, but since i have no other pictures to post..

one of our favorite little girls (her mom calls me her LA mommy)ran into the corner of a wall sunday night and had to get stitches. 

She has the BIGGEST crush on Jason..and the feeling is mutual..his heart broke when he found out she got hurt.

so last night we brought her some ice cream to make her feel better.

we love this little firecracker.
