I finally dealt with having to say goodbye to my car. Yes, I was way too attached. I feel like this is God teaching me to deal with holding onto things with an open hand.
I was sad to see it go, but I am realizing that this is kind of a blessing in disguise, Left to my own devices I would have never decided to get rid of my car until I was forced to. I was holding onto it for a lot of emotional reasons, when the car was not practical at all anymore.
Which brings me to the next thing that happened during October; last week we bought a new (to us) car. It's a lot bigger and roomier than my tiny ZX2, but it should serve us for many years into the future since it has fewer miles and four doors. Can I just say I am exceptionally excited to have four doors? Finally, I no longer have to worry about hitting myself in the head with my seat when letting someone in or out of the backseat. I am also looking forward to the anonymity of no longer having a personalized license plate.
I rolled over 80,000 miles just the other day on my way to work. Seth is also pretty jealous and insists on driving my car at every opportunity. Actually, it's not my car because both of our names are on the title. It's our car. How very adult of us, buying our first car together. The car we will probably buckle our children into someday. No, that's not a pregnancy announcement.
Hmm, this post has turned into a car update. Not going to lie, that's pretty much all we did this month. We were supposed to go to a few different weddings, but that got pushed aside for the more urgent necessity of needing to replace my car.
We did rearrange the apartment again, but I don't know if I'll even get pictures of it because we are already planning to rearrange again since a loveseat is being given to us. Hooray for more seating!
Maybe in November I'll get back to posting photos daily and finishing out the year strong! One can dream....
