Here is a tribute to the recently lost 2002 Honda Civic:
When we first met, I was coming out of a short term gig with a Nissan Sentra. The Sentra had also been totaled and I was pretty down. We had a rocky start as I was so attached to the Sentra. Slowly but surely we got close. I gave you the nickname of "Baby Girl" and we traveled together. You got me through weekend trips to Clarksville, you saw me home and let me cry when I had to leave Joe every weekend. We were together everyday during deployment and took many trips together. You were there for when I moved, when we picked up Joe when he came home from Afghanistan, and helped us move again to Savannah. You have been pivitol to my life in the past 3 years. I do sincerely apologize for hitting that other car. It hurts to know you are sitting in a dusty, rocky, gross auction yard. Im sorry I couldnt save you, blame progressive, they declared you totaled. However the joke is on them, the car has no radio now... as I took the face to the radio and the remote :) We can laugh on the inside to that one together. I have no doubt you will come to a high bidder, your a beauty aside from your frontal damage. You will make another person/family happy one day, hopefully soon! At least the weather is cooling off and you are not stuck in the hot hot sun. Rest In Peace sweet Honda. I will miss you!
Alas, this posed this posed quite the quandry..... what shall I drive? Joe is deployed, family is in Alabama, I felt as though I was inbetween a rock and a hard place. With much frustration from other dealerships, and cars being sold as soon as I saw them online, I wondered would I find a new car, a new autocompanion?
I did! I was able to stumble across a nice little thing called the Nissan Altima. She was newly traded in and after 5, yes 5 hours, she was mine. A lot of negotiating was involved, and though I could not get the price down, I think they felt sorry for the young girl, stressed out from a car accident, whose husband is deployed until next year. I feel certain that some pity was taken. I officially picked her up this evening. We seem quite compatible... though I am still reeling from the loss of the Honda. She will always have that special place in the garage in my heart.
What makes it feel even better is that Joe approves! He was able to speak with the Salesman (Jack from Vaden Nissan- an awesome bunch of guys by the way!) and I also sent him pictures so he was very proud of my car buying abilites. After 4 totaled cars, you would think I would be a pro by now..... Im ok until it gets to the warranty part.... Im such a softie in that department.
I cant take the credit for the buy though. The Lord really helped me through this troubling week. He pulled me through to a positive place, took on my worry, and lead me to the car he knew I needed. He always provides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont worry about anything, Pray about everything!
So what is next for this Army Wife?
........ Two Birthday Dinners, Paranormal Activity 4 premier, House of Night release, and a Prettly Little Liars Halloween episode.
Also I have a couple of projects I am going to begin working on:
-Cleaning out the drawers and tackling the atrocity I call a closet....
-Then tackling the second thing I can an atrocity, Joes room and closet
An update on Operation: Joes Care Package.
First package is sent- and as I said last time, is very random. Shoes, gum, sunflower seeds, toothpaste, etc
The next one will be themed I feel sure :) I need some good ideas for this one. Maybe a free time box. They are always playing games online, maybe some games to play in the office and back in the tent with some snacks :) Sounds good to me!
