Everybody, I'd like to formally introduce you to Toby...
My old car, a beautiful 2003 Ford Taurus (lovingly named Derrik by a toddler I used to babysit) has been going downhill the past year. He hit 140 thousand miles when I moved to Portland and was close to 150 thousand when he just stopped. He lived a good long life, and I would love to have given him a new engine and a little extra loving, but I just couldn't justify putting more money into him that he was worth.
So Ryan and I (he loves me enough to spend a day with me freaking out over finances and new shiny objects - lots of highs and lows in a short span of time) spent a day talking with our friend Austin who works for the Enterprise lot in Portland.
* side note - Austin is the husband of the awesome Kayla over at Fit Life Forward! I wasn't necessarily planning on buying anything that day, but once I drove this 2012 Nissan Versa, it was over.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
Toby and I went on our first road trip together this past weekend. I packed him up and we drove to Idaho Friday to visit friends and family.
It was a pretty great weekend with my favorite munchkin (my niece Joie). Much laughter and good times were shared. I'll be blogging more about my photoshoots and adventures later this week!
Any major and/or exciting news happening in your world this week?
I'd love to hear about it! Share in the excitement in the comments below!
YAY! I'm so happy that you had a great road trip!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting. Glad you've gotten a reliable and lovely new car! Lots has been going on in the world that has kept me hella busy and concerned. But, none as fun as a shiny new car. CONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteI love getting a new car. On the flip side next year I will pay off my Jeep. First car I will ever own outright (that I bought new). I always ended up trading it in. So adult! Toby is very handsome!
ReplyDeleteOoo... I love the car!!!! I totally wish we could get one! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo super psyched Austin hooked you up! I'm excited because we just paid off my Mini! It's been a long time coming and is brought to you by the selling of Kevin's M5--(thank god). So happy I got to be one of the first to ride in Toby! He was fun! Congrats again :)
