One Last Ride

For the past couple of months, John has had his pickup on CraigsList, KSL Listings, Facebook and more websites trying to sell it. Friday night he got a call from his brother-in-law Adam saying that he has a friend that has a friend that wants John's pickup!! We were pretty excited since it'll save us another payment of $430.77 a month! So, John got it all cleaned up and on Sunday drove it down for the last time to Salt Lake and said good-bye to his truck.


I don't think he'll ever admit it but John is a little sad that he doesn't have his ride anymore. And to be honest, I'll miss that monster of a beast, too! (Can you believe that John would sometimes make me try and scale up the step to get in it in a Sunday dress and heels?!?!)

We've had some good times in the pickup and I have to boast that John spruced it up pretty nice and kept it looking good. Some nights when John would come home from work I would hold Garrett on my lap on our front steps and as soon as John would pull in the driveway, Garrett would get all excited!
Now that it's gone we are down to 1 vehicle. My car. Guess who will be stranded at home for awhile with nowhere to go until John finds another pickup? He actually has an old 64 pickup (if you could call it that) that he could drive but the bottom of it has holes and the wipers don't work so....ya...we'll figure something out.

Ya gotta be happy to be out from under that $430 payment, especially in this economy. All the "experts" say the recession is over, but I'm not seeing any signs of it!!! Sorry your w/o wheels.

We are down to one car too Tauns! It is nice to have one less payment a month. Hopefully you have things to keep you busy at home :)
