Believe, Dream, Achieve






Today I finally bought my first car!!!!!!

Buying a car was the next step in my little life but only after I got a raise, a promotion and paid off my tuition. Only a few weeks ago I finally did just that!

So, it was time to take that next step that I have been waiting, planning, dreaming and talking about forever. I can still remember the day I asked Curt if I could buy a car if I promised to get a job and pay for it. Thank God he said NO!

I am so thankful that I was able to finally buy this car on my own with a good AC that I will never take for granted and a car payment perfect for my budget but most of all I am thankful for having parents that made this all possible.

Had Curt said Yes I know things would be so different. I will always be soooo grateful for having parents that knew what was best for me, even though I may not have liked it. For parents who sacrificed so much just to make sure I got a great education just so I could get a good job and one day buy that car. Today I felt so many different emotions but all of which were positive. Accomplised, blessed, thankful, excited, shocked, determined, achievement, grateful......just to name a few. Nothing feels better than to have all your dreams come true, goals achieved and for things to fall into place just the way you knew they could so long as you worked hard. Now on to my next journey in life........I know it will be only sweeter!!!!!!! Thanks Mom and Curt for always doing what was in our best interest! Without you this could not have been possible!

Now for the bittersweet part of it all.........

I can still remember the first day I got my green little jeep aka the green booger. She was the perfect car for me! I will hate to let her go but will always remember how she NEVER let me down. She was the best car this college student could of ever had!!

Top Ten Things I Loved About My Green Booger:

1. Got me EVERYWHERE I needed to go safely...Houston, CC, JC, Austin, Kerville, SA..
2. Stayed with me to the bitter end........and is still trucking along
3. She could haul ANYTHING
4. She could hold all my friends at once
5. She had no blindspots

She will be missed but "WE'VE HAD A NICE RIDE" to say the least!
