out with the old...in with the new

i think most people are thrilled about getting a new car especially when the new one has fancy extra features. 

i might be the exception...well both will and i might be.

so this is our old fj cruiser

it was a wonderful vehicle that i loved completely for about 5 years.

she even had a name.

sassy.

i get all sentimental and attached to everything....including vehicles.

we traded her in today for a newer version.

it's something we've been planning to do for a while now for several reasons.

sassy had a manual transmission which was something i sometimes loved and other times hated.

will loved that about the car all the time.

as my belly has been growing and i've had to move my seat back i could barely reach the clutch to shift.

so this new one makes driving way easier,

not to mention the other new features that are really neat plus we got a fantastic deal.

but still i have such a hard time with change in general and maybe the pregnancy hormones are making it worse because i couldn't help but feel sad as we drove home with a new vehicle.

will understood because he was a little sad too....probably not as much as me. 

we are so silly but i'm sure we aren't the only ones out there that get attached to vehicles and such.

i guess in a way i felt like i hurt sassy's feeling by leaving her behind on that car lot.  i can probably thank disney/pixar for such irrational thoughts.

now time to name this one and learn to love it as much as sassy.
