Oh, so that's what that feels like!

Well yesterday was one of the few days I was actually excited to see the mail laying on the table. In it was the title to James' car! HOLY COW - it's finally paid off and we finally have the title in our hands. I've never in my life not had a car payment or had a car that was paid for (hello, I've only had 4 cars and been driving for only 10 years - that's embarassing). Mom was gracious and helped me get my first car. Actually, it was a birthday present for my 21st birthday. :) Purple Chevy Cavalier. Oh I loved that car. It was so nice and deep dark purple. I wish I had a pic of it! Then there was my Honda Accord that I leased (I KNOW DUMBEST DECISION EVER!). After the lease was up there was the Ford Explorer

(love this vehicle but come on it literally gets like 1 mile per gallon and with gas prices right now - stupid purchase). But in between the Honda and Explorer James and I bought him the Mitz. Overall the car has been good. It's had some issues that luckily Nathan (cousin) could fix and love it's heart in the last year it's had a fair share of accidents (3 in 6 months) and it still has a serious boo boo that needs fixing!

POOR THING! (it looks worse now though, rusting :( )

But yesterday we finally OWN it! I mean we've owned it for a month or so already but finally have proof that we own it! :) GOTTA LOVE THAT!!

I'm hoping that baby drives for another two years. I'd love to spare a car payment until the truck is paid off! (Feb 2010, so not even two years). Lance, as James has named him, has been good to us. Thanks for all the memories Lance and please give us tons more! I know you are about 104,000 years old (# of miles on him) but please let us get a good 50,000 more or so!

I'm so glad we are down a car payment HOORAY!!
