Goodbye Old Friend

Yes, that's right. It's the end of an era. Time to pay your respects to the car that has been with me for the past 8 wonderful years. Last weekend we said goodbye to my precious Civic. It was a difficult day, but it was the right time for us to go our separate ways. Recently, it sustained some pretty bad hail damage on our way back from Nashville. The insurance company considered it to to totaled even though they gave it back to us with a clear title ("cosmetic damage"). So we decided it was time and put it up for sale on Friday. Little did we know that it would go to the first guy to look at it on Saturday morning. I have so many good memories in that car, from Nashville to Abilene to Dallas and everywhere in between. Piling in there with lots of college friends, squeezing two carseats in the back of the two-door coupe, taking a countless number of roadtrips home and back- this car was good to me. So farewell, dear Civic. I'll never forget you.





*We did get a new car, but will wait to post on that good news until later out of respect for the Civic.

Isn't it weird how many memories we have related to a car? I was so excited to get my Tahoe, but it was a little sad driving away and leaving my car at the dealership. I hope you're enjoying the new car!
