This is the first time since we have been married that we will have had two cars. We have always just had one, I don't know what we will do with ourselves. We bought a 2009 Ford Escape, which we will be taking back with us to the states (whenever that may be). This is the first new car we will have had since being married, we have only had used cars before. Exciting, yet scary to spend all the money! Here is a photo of something similar to what we will be cruising around in soon.

We talked to the mechanic today and he checked the entire car out and told us he could fix everything that is wrong; wipers, head gasket, ball joints and water pump for 1000 Euro. That isn't cheap, but is WAY cheaper, like $1500 cheaper than the place on post! So we are thankful for that. Plus we couldn't really sell the car for anything when it doesn't even run. Poor little BMW!
(This isn't actually our car, just a picture of one kinda similar off the internet, I think blogs are so much more interesting with pictures. Please note our car is much cooler ;))
For now we are in our sweet rental car. We will return it Tuesday morning, we are sick of paying for it, but had to have it to get Kyle back and forth to his doctor appointments. Since the military is paying for the eye surgery, we figure that paying for a rental and hotel room for 3 nights is alright.
We are driving a totally sweet Opel..haha, it is very European, but it gets us around, so we could care less at this point.

Kyle's eyes seem to be feeling better today. He said they don't hurt hardly at all, everything is just blurry. We were told that today would be the blurriest day. Hopefully by the end of the weekend he is doing a lot better. His next appointment is Monday morning at 0730, so that means another night in a hotel so we don't have to leave our house at 0300 to get there in time!
