For those that have been asking... Here's the new car I got on Wednesday. 😊 I wanted a 2016 Honda Civic, but they only made the manual transmission in their base model for 2016... Booooo! I looked at Hyundai reminiscing about my 2004 Tiburon GT, but sadly their whole line only had manuals in the base model... No bueno! Looked at the Chevy Cruise, rented a new one back in 2012 driving through the Smokey Mountains, absolutely loved it... But in 2016, they skimped on the looks and the whole car... Really Chevy, really!?! What's up with that!?! Look at the Mazda Mazda3, boy was it way smaller than I expected on the inside... Next! Looked at a few other makes and models but either they had no manual or only in the base or were out of my price range. 😳 I like Larry's VW Passat... But guess what? Yup, they stopped making them with a stick for 2016! Le sigh... So that left me with a VW Golf or a VW Jetta. Amenities wise for the price the Jetta won. It might have helped a bit that the word golf really doesn't do much for me either... Granted if that Golf SportWagen I might have came up with more money and changed my mind about the name! 😂 Is the Jetta everything I want in a car? Nope. But is she quite the upgrade and stepping stone from the 2004 Dodge Stratus? You bet she is! ❤️ And the fact I got to choose what I'd be driving... Priceless! #blessings #grateful #newride #newcar #newchapter #letsride #volkswagen #chevy #honda #hyundai #mazda

Yesterday I said goodbye to my old car. I've had it since the fall of 2010. It was a car I didn't want that my then husband insisted we get. Despite its many flaws it's the car that got Jaya and I safely out when we left NC, when we drove all the way from OH to Miami with pit stops in NC, to KY and to its final resting place NJ. We were a good team and made the best out of a bad situation. Just like she helped me fly to safety out of an abusive marriage, she helped me fly safely to my new ride as her work here is done. I can't believe I got teary eyed when I drove to trade her in., but i did! Jaya and I have made a lot of memories with this car, but as Jaya said... "They will always be a part of us, so it's okay mommy. Our beads we hanged on the mirror soaked up all the memories and now they can ride with us in our new car. It's like our old car just got a makeover." 💕 As another door closes and another chapter ends another opens so the new memories can begin. ❤️ #sentimental #reminiscing #oldcar #driving #memories #startingfresh #finishstrong

So I was just scrolling through my FB and the whole on this day thing... When I come across the pic to your left. The pic to your right is from today at the playground Jaya and I biked too. Apparently without knowing this until right now I wore the same shirt I did in 2014 and also had watermelon (the red kind though but still with seeds of course) with dinner. Now that's some synchronicity! 💕😂 Apparently this shirt and seeded watermelons just go together. 😉 #synchronicity #onthisday #sameshirt #watermelon #playtime #mommydaughter #loveyou #funnystuff
