You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Cars!

I wanted to take a moment and just list (for my benefit) all of the vehicles we have had in our 8 years of marriage: (I don't remember what year they all were)

  1. Ford Contour (gold/bronze) - great car
  2. Oldsmobile Alero (red) - great and sporty
  3. Toyota Forerunner (red) - gutless but fun to drive
  4. Chevy S-10 (purple) - we bought this from a foreigner on the side of the road....not quite that bad, but pretty bad!
  5. Ford Explorer (white) - super nice and fun...locked hunter in it when I was returning movies and forgot the keyless code to get back in...the fire people came and got me back in...so embarrassing!
  6. Ford Ranger (green) - good little truck...got stolen out of our garage.
  7. Chevy Truck (red) - we didn't keep this very long...but it was nice- it was Travis' grandpa's
  8. Nissan Frontier (gray) - bought this when the green ford was stolen
  9. Ford F-150 (maroon) - loved this one! I drove it for a long time, till the business needed it.
  10. Chevy Tahoe (gold) - this is what I drive now....love it love it love it.
  11. Ford F-250 (white) - diesel...Travis drove it for work
  12. Ford Taurus (green) - such a good car....very heavy - hugged the road nicely.
  13. GMC Denali Truck (white) - Travis' current work truck. (bought last week)
  14. Dodge Caravan (seafoam green) - drove it for like a month or 2 and then sold it.
Now keep in mind that these are only the vehicles that we actually drive. We have a few more currently (4 more) that I didn't list that we use for business purposes.... That is just a ridiculous list....that's like almost 2 cars per year....and I might've forgotten one...holy smokes.

I remember all of them but the 4 runner.
remember driving the purple truck when I came to visit and we had Hunter in his carseat in the middle and the driver's seat was permanantley reclined? That was fun.
And remember in the Taurus..."this car has balls"?

WOW! You guys sure do like going through cars. :)
We were privileged to hear the stolen truck story from Travis, it was pretty funny. Not for you guys at the time I'm sure-but funny looking back huh?
