How I did it
How to own a hybrid car
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
happy

How I did it: I compared different hybrid vehicles and test drove the Insight and Prius.  I was able to make a good deal because of the recession and Toyota clearing out the 2009 models for the 2010 models.  I bought the car to replace the one that I had totaled :( Read how I did it…

How to buy a House
It took me
3 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: I interviewed my realtor before to make sure that person would be a good match for me and what I was looking for.  After seeing some houses, I found one that I really liked.  The realtor, along with my loan agent at my credit union, helped me through the entire process.

How to see the grand canyon
It took me
3 days
It made me
be in awe

How I did it: Bought that plane ticket to Las Vegas and drove from there to the Grand Canyon.  We camped out at the south rim, hiked halfway down the west route.  We would have camped in the canyon, but we heard about an impeding snowstorm for the next day, so we headed back to the top. Read how I did it…
