Pride in my ride

Seven years ago, I bought my dream car. Subaru Impreza. Dark Blue. So fun, so fast. I felt so cool!

Later that year, I met my dream guy. So caballero, so talented, so athletic, so hard-working, so fun. He was everything on my list. I married him.





My dream guy had a dream--to help humanity by being a doctor.


I took one for the team and sold my dream car. We bought your grandma's old car--an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. So practical, so dependable. Not quite as cool.

Bonus: three car seats fit in the back seat!

Suddenly we had three little ones and I knew our days of fitting in a sedan were coming to an end. We were going to become a mini-van fam! I wasn't excited about it. I don't love mini-vans. "Ugh!" was all I could think when I thought about driving around in one. Then I saw this (thanks, Cami!):

And I thought, "OK, I can do this!"

Then my dream guy had a different dream. He wanted to tow our stuff across the country in a trailer. A mini-van was out. We were both so relieved! We bought a Chevy Suburban. So big, so cool, so fun! The pride in my ride is back, ohhh yeahhh!

Love this post! So fun...makes me want to start blogging more often again...except that I am still in the moving process...and you know how that goes all too well yourself...moving=no blogging time.

Love the BURB!

P.S. My mom was commenting the other day on what a catch you were:) Ok, so she didn't say it in exactly those words, but that is the gist:) She's right!
