My first love

Goal #10

Finally! I have been waiting for this day for almost 6 years. The day I could say that I no longer have a car payment.

Unfortunately, it is also the day when I say I no longer have a car.

Yes, I finally made the last payment on my Tiburon. But a few weeks prior to that, I realized that it simply was not big enough to fit an infant car seat in. Which means, I had to say good-bye to my car, something that meant more to me than a lot of people.

I was able to find a silver lining in selling my car. I found a lady on facebook garage sale that was looking for a "cool car". I sent her a message, along with some pictures and explained that I was only selling because I was having a baby. She seemed extremely interested and asked to test drive it. That all went well and we agreed on a purchase price.

I met this lady, along with her husband early this week to give them the keys, title, and bill of sale. She then informed me that today was her daughter's 16th birthday and that she had passed her driver's test less than an hour earlier. They waited until after her test to let her know that they were buying her a car. She told me that her daughter was so excited that she started crying.

As much fun as I've had through the years driving my little coupe, I walk away so glad to know that another little girl is going to enjoy it as much as I have. So, with tears in my eyes, I said goodbye to my car and drove away in my mom car (Brian's Curtis) and silently greeted this new chapter in my life. I can't be that care-free teenager anymore. I am going to be a mom. But I sure as hell am going to be a fun mom! :)
