J. double E. to the P

What does that spell?
JEEP
 I don't feel like typing this all out again, so here is a copy and paste from an email that was going around in my family that explains things [an email asking who was going to be able to make it to which family reunions this summer]:
We're not sure yet if we'll be able to make it for any summer activinies. Depends on if we'll be in Alaska working or not. If we're in Alaska, then it's a no go for both reunions. But if we're in Reno then we can do both and whatever dates are chosen for the gas reunion we will make work.  :)
Isn't life so fun and exciting???
Speaking of fun and exciting: David just finished pulling in our latest purchase: a 2003 jeep grand Cherokee. He's been looking around on Craigslist lately because his car is doomed to go kaput any day.  The owner of the jeep didn't know what was wrong with it and they just wanted to sell it for what they thought it was worth. David and Lonney went to look at it, and a plugged Cadillac catalytic converter (? You'll have talk to David for the details) is the problem. This should be a relatively inexpensive fix. So the vehicle is actually worth much much more than what the owners thought. David was able to buy it for half of what its worth. I don't know to feel elated or guilty that we got a JEEP for Soo little. So we now have a stinkin nice jeep, that goes about 10mph. Yeehaw!!! This will be David's little side project after work and school this semester. We're crossing our fingers that the purple dodge will last a little bit longer (it has multiple problems and we're just shocked that it still runs) until David has the jeep ready to go.
There, now everyone is caught up with our latest news and excitement. :) call if you would like more details.
 "I don't know if you can tell, 'cause I'm trying really hard to contain myself...but I am so excited!!!!" David's words.
This is our first car bought together as Husband and Wife. So it was kinda exciting and a real big deal, thus needing much documentation.
And did you catch that little tease in the email that we have yet to release to blogland? Until now!
'Tis true: We will either be in Alaska or Reno come May. 
More info and details to come at a later time.
