New Ride

See this car?

After moving away from Ohio, I was totally prisoner in my own home.  Bart took our Accord to work everyday.  It was November/December.  Cold, dark and depressing.  I had no friends and we were at home ALL.DAY.LONG.  It was rough.  This car was perhaps, the greatest blessing to me at that time.

A long time ago, my great-grandparents died and some of my grandmother's inheritance, she divided it in a mutual fund among her grandchildren.  I had never had the need to cash it in, until we were SUPER DUPER poor just right after dental school.  We used that money as a down payment on this car.  It was such a blessing in my life.  The car worked woderfully.  We were so grateful for it.
We used it up until Jase was about 3 months old.  Then it was definitely time to move to a bigger vehicle.

We do enjoy our Odyssey now.  It's also a great blessing to us as well.

I will never forget this little red car.  It represented freedom and security just when we needed it.

Here is Whitney buckling MacKay into his carseat in the van.  We love our van!
