The Morning After

Today is the day I had to bring our leased Jeep back to the dealership.

I was not prepared for the emotional weight of the situation.  They should have have warned me when I signed the papers that I’d take on a love for my car.

Also you have to pay a bunch of money if you have any deferred maintenance.  Zoinks.  That said, the folks at Willie Dodge made it pretty easy and affordable.

Coral and I got this Jeep when we found out she was pregnant.  Before the Jeep I had a scooter and a Mazda Pickup Truck I got from my Aunt Brenda.

The pickup was pretty rad and Coral’s Mom drives it to this day!  Coral and I probably only had the pickup for like… a few months?  Three maybe?  Wow.  In that time we took some adventures.  I remember that we drove from Victoria to Port Hardy and back in a day.  That was pretty fun.  It rained a ton, we saw bears and Eagles, got a flat tire in Woss.  Good times like that.

Coral thought it would be best if we had a ride that had four doors and was a little more substantial for carting around soon-to-be-born Madelyn.

I love Jeeps, so Coral found a Jeep Patriot and that was a our car for the past 4 years.

Our car seat we got to match the interior.  We were so into that!

ta-da!  Coral did it all by herself.  And it totally matches!  Actually… it would match our new Honda too… you know, if we ever needed to bust this baby seat outta storage.

Go with yourself.
