Saying Good-bye

Well, I finally did it. I said good-bye yesterday to my dear old Honda Civic as we traded it in for a new car for Scott. Your first new car, paying for it and maintaining it yourself (well with some help from mom and dad).... 10 years, 2 continents, 5 states, the autobahn, 10 countries, and 145k miles worth of travels and memories.... PRICELESS.

Here she is one last time.

What a great car it was for me and us. It saw us through some wonderful times and helped us see the world - literally.

It was a sad day for me as we dropped the Civic off but all good things must come to an end. While is was a sad day for me to have to let go (I don't let go of things very well - as most of you reading this should know about me) it was time for us to upgrade to something else for Scott. He works so hard for our family and after his deployments he bought me the car of my dreams instead of getting something he wanted (like every one else was doing with their deployment savings). So, it was his turn yesterday.... you deserve it honey....thank you for all you do for our family. Here is his new RIDE...

09 Honda Accord (should last us another 10 years!!!!)

It's a really pretty light metallic green color with black interior (almost a charcoal color not quite black)
