Bittersweet Goodbye to My Car...

Saturday we did it - we sold my Honda Civic for a van.  Although I was the one who wanted to do it (two kids in a Civic is a tight squeeze!  Add a stroller in the trunk and there isn't anymore room!), it was still sad to let go of Civic.  I bought it in February 2006 - it was an early college graduation gift to myself.  I paid for it all with my own money, every cent.  It was kind of a symbol of my own 'real' independence.'  Unfortunately, at this stage in my life, though, Civic just wasn't big enough.  It had over 85,000 miles.... all but 81 of them I put on it.  It took Ethan and I to Cincinnati, Ohio once, and Oak Island, and Myrtle Beach multiple times, alont with other trips we went on.  It was a great car!  Even though a semi-moving target for other cars to hit:(  It sure was sad to leave it at the dealership, but I'm so excited for our van!  It has the power sliding doors which is fantastic!  It also has navigation and a DVD player (that we will only use when we are traveling for vacation).  So nice, and so much more space:)
