I will write more about the whole experience later, but I wanted to post that I bought a new car this week. I turned in the Ol'Girl with 191,699 miles on her, and traded her in for a younger, sexier New'Girl with 12 miles.

I have to admit, I was a little sad. In fact, I commented to Tiffany in the showroom and told her that I think I was more sad to see this car go then I was when my mom told me she sold my childhood home. And then I began to think about all the things that happened in that car:

• Taking my driver's test and getting my license
• My First "Real" High School Date - with Emily
• My First Speeding Ticket (who knew that would grow to 8 speeding tickets, in 5 states, and 2 countries)
• Coming Home from High School Graduation and having Scotty moon the band bus in front of us, not knowing his sister was probably on that bus
• Jumping the railroad tracks by CJ's house at 45 mph and getting "wicked air."
• Moving Out to College
• Driving down to the O.C. in college and hanging out on the beach
• Visiting Over 40 states in it
• Tons and tons of road trips with friends that were such a blast
• Going from Fort Wayne to Seattle for New Years 2002 and then down to Los Angeles
• All the trips to the airports to travel to 19 countries
• Driving into Mexico with CJ, Andrea & Kelly, and then as soon as I crossed the border, realizing I have no clue how to get back to the States and everything was in Spanish (which I don't know)
• The Infamous LA-NYC-LA New Years 2005 trip that was by far the worst road trip I ever took
• Driving cross country to my first real job to start my "career"
• Pulling up at Cobb County Airport for my first pilots license
• Countless other experiences

Ohh well, now you can see why I was a little sad to see her go and realize I will never drive her again. I will miss driving will the windows down, with the wind blowing through my hair, listening to the radio super loud and driving way faster then I should. But it's not so much the car I guess, but rather all the amazing things that have happened in just 9 short years.

Here's to new memories in the new car though - which hopefully will include a date that will involve a proposal, driving to the church to get married, and bringing home my first child (I also wouldn't mind making my first million while owning it as well ;) ).
