all better.

lex got fixed this week!

he went from this...

...to this...

 yes, it's raining and dark but i wanted to blog about it
NOW instead of waiting for the storm to pass.

yay for a new bumper and whatever else
 because now lex looks as good as new.
(take that, girl-who-hit-me's insurance company)

as for the question of whether i have travelled farther than lex in my lifetime...i'm going to have to give that one to myself in a landslide. 

i got him when he was around 50K, so i've shared (nearly) all of the miles after that with him.

when i count my mileage -- just with air travel -- i beat him by a lot.

* trips to chile (about 10K round-trip)

* back and forth between ohio and utah during college (1,700 miles if i flew straight over, but with layovers, i know i did more than that)

THEN take into account my drives before lex came into the picture.

* vacations to disney world (900+ miles each way)
* trips to myrtle beach (600 miles each way)

* roadtrips to california, vegas, pittsburgh, vacations out west, etc.

...i think you get the idea.

anna - 1.

lex - 0.

anyways, now that he's better and we put a 100K miles on him already, sean and i decided a few more hundred wouldn't hurt and headed to milwaukee for the brewers game on wednesday.

 ^ sweet view from the press box

we barely dodged getting hit by the sprinklers after the game

(going on the field: yet another perk of being in the tv biz)

^ awkwardly scrunching down so he 

doesn't look nearly as tall as he actually is...

 ^ seriously, so tall.

but he's my best friend (in wausau) so it's no big deal.

p.s. just found out you can click on any of the pics to see them bigger ( :
