With many mixed emotions (not really, it just sounds sentimental), we parted ways today with my little green (or blue, depending on the lighting) pickup truck. It has been a wonderful 13 years for me. It has been a very reliable vehicle and we have certainly gotten our money out of it. But, like all things, eventually we have to move on. Now that I have Pontias (affectionately named by the kids....it's a Honda Pilot...pretty clever!), it was time to give the pickup a new owner--Cody Nick! We brought the truck to Poppa's today where Cody was there to claim his new (gently-used...alright, old beat-up) ride. We spent a few minutes going over the features (qwerks) of the truck and then he got to take it for a stroll down the driveway. I can't really consider it a gift because it's not in the greatest shape and has the potential for future breakdown. But, it's wheels! And I remember being that age and would have done anything for my own car. I can only hope that it brings Cody the same joy that it brought me over the last thirteen years.

I love it Carey, that is awesome. I remember like it was yesterday when you got that truck. I had nostalgia 3 years ago when I turned over my white Mazda to someone else too, it's gotta go sometime, I know it's tough :)
