YAY!!!!!
Well, I've been kinda scared to talk about this for some time.
I need some time to really think about my decision and how to tell you all.
I had to remove a member of my family, Betsy.
She just got to the point where we couldn't live a comfortable life together.
She was old and tired and worn out and in pain.
She was no longer the young & enchantress she had once been.
We had a lot of good time together.
We traveled many long trips together,
to Florida,
to Oklahoma,
to Arkansas
and so ...
We traveled the US together and I really took her for granted sometimes.
but, With all the memories I can say goodbye to her with hope and love.... for a new tomorrow.
so here's to you ...
My old '93 toyota corolla with 192000 miles on her, Betsy.
It's been a good ride!
Now, I know you're a little confused cause i said the newest addition to the family... Well, Betsy is waiting to be sold t a new home and last night I drove ALL the WAY out to Grapevine to visit a dealership there, Don Davis Nissan (only mentioning name because they took amazing care of me- It's about a 45 min drive for those of you not familiar with the area) I got there and they were wonderfully sweet to me. Brian went with me and we went to look at a car I had found online at Cars.com, a '00 Toyota Echo. I had done my homework on this car, to say the least. Consumer Reports said it was a good buy, all the reviews I had read were great and I was set on a Toyota ----> and it was in my price range!
So after haggling with them for a while I walked out with the keys in my hand for my NEW CAR!!! Price of the car + TTL= 5500!
SO, I am proud to introduce you to ZOE.
my 2000 Toyota Echo with 75000 miles on her!!!YAY!!!!
Thankful has a new meaning this year. Before I have always been thankful for my family, friends and everything else that I have. I have always made sure I tell everyone how much they mean to me. This year Thanksgiving means so much more. I have so much to be thankful for. I have watched my Nephew Thomas Bickle, fight brain cancer. He is alive and every day getting stronger. It's been a long year, He has survived TWO brain surgeries, all before his 1st birthday. THAT is something to be Thankful for. .... SO THANKFUL Thomas is an amazingly sweet kid and watching my sister and brother-in-law deal with everything has been hard. It's amazing to think that maybe by this time next year, Thomas will be a healthy 2 year old. It's not just the cancer, Thomas because of where the tumor was, had to have a tracheotomy which has made EVERYTHING more difficult.
and this thanksgiving, i thank the little guy who's opened my heart so wide, and the community who poured its heart out to my family and continues to do so.
