Car Update

Well, we finally heard the news today. The car was indeed totaled.  The good news is that it was valued at a higher price than we expected, especially since this is the same car that was nearly totaled about 6 years ago in a parking lot. This car must have just been an extra attractive target when stopped. Thank goodness I wasn't even in the car last time though.

I have mixed feelings about the news. . . I'm truly going to miss that vibe. She's been mine since I was 16 and I really really loved her! But, I also think it's time to get a car that can be our car. Preston always referred to the vibe as "YOUR car."  So now we can start fresh with OUR first car. I hope I can love it as much as I loved the vibe and that it will be able to fit my harp so nicely too :)

But, for now, we'll just enjoy our rental for 2 more days before we leave for Utah!! Woohoo!!

Also, I must mention the special occasion tomorrow. . . BRAYDEN'S BIRTHDAY!!! I still can't believe it, but I'm so excited. I have to make his birthdays just as special as I always thought  mine were. We have our special birthday breakfast ingredients, some good gifts and we'll have some cake, ice cream and good company. Should be fun!

How sad, I loved the vibe too! Remember when we would skip independent study and watch movies in your car in the parking lot?? That was fun. Happy Birthday to Brayden. That's so crazy. I got your invite for his birthday party, but I won't be in Salt Lake until later that night actually. We will be up north for at least 2 weeks so we will need to get together and play! Love ya ang!

The main thing is that you are all safe.

I remember shopping for the vibe and how excited you were. I was excited to see the harp fit in it :)

It it time to move on like you said and let it go. Kind of a tough way to go for the old car...I wish I could help you find the next one too.

Have fun in Utah!!
