So Long Friend

Jared and his truck

So...this week we said farewell to a good friend. Who? Our truck. Our wonderful, manly, green truck. It was quite a sad day. Jared got this truck when he graduated high school and is quite attached to it. Friday when he came hom from work he said he got sad knowing that was the last time he would drive his truck home from work. This truck is special for me too because it was the car we dated in. Some of my fondest memories with Jared involve going places and having deep conversations while sitting on those oh so uncomfortable seats!

Friday night we drove it around the block one last time. It was a sweet time for us. I'm sure you are wondering why we are getting rid of something we are obviously so fond of. Well...as great as it is, this car just does not work with a baby. Jacob's car seat does not fit in the backseat so sadly we are having to get a different car. Don't worry though - the truck isn't going to some stranger. Our wonderful friend now belongs to Jared's dad. :) We know he'll take good care of it and I'm sure if we get the need to drive it around the block for old times sake he would let us.

We now are the proud owners of a Honda CRV. It's a great car and we are thankful to have it. Hopefully we can create some fun family memories behind the wheel of our new friend.

So long Green Tacoma Truck. We will miss you!!
