On Sunday, as I was driving to drop Emily off at camp, Josh was driving to work. Only he didn’t make it. About halfway the car started over heating and he had just enough time to get her off the highway before she just plain stopped. After towing her back into town, and getting an estimate for a new engine ($4000!) we have decided it is time to let her go. But she has been good to us, for 7 long years. We bought her right after Jacob was born, because we thought we needed a bigger car.
I thought I would show her off in the best way that I can.
Hanging out in the car wash.
Running to the car with our friends.
Reading the Bible in the car.
Just being silly.
Sleeping.
Riding our big boy bike next to her.
Wearing ridiculous hats while driving her.
Carwash again. See, we took car of her.
Working on her.
Taking the dogs for a ride in her.
Going to Six Flags in her.
She even went to Kentucky!
Being dramatic while riding in her.
Celebrating the holidays with her.
Just being Jacob while in her.
Sleeping after seeing the Cheetah Girls.
Lounging in her.
She even made it through the huge ice storm 18 months ago.
What is really odd about the whole situation is- it is really like almost loosing a family member. We have owned her for so long and she has been with us through think and thin.
I am sad to see her go, and even sadder to think about what we are going to do about it.
Goodbye Old Bessie, its been fun.
