Goodbye my love!!


Have you ever seen the movie Dumb and Dumber where Jim Carrey's character is in the limo at the airport after just dropping off his crush and he sings "Goodbye my love". Well that was what Ryan was singing today as a tow truck took away the notorious "A" team van. With it's many nicknames ranging from the "A" Team Van, The UPS Truck, Rumble-Bumble, Black Magic, this van has almost been like a part of our family. Jason and Heather were so generous and gave us this van when we were a one car family and they were getting a new vehicle. We are so grateful for their generiosity. It is amazing at how long this thing continued to run even when we were for sure that it was on it's last stretch. We are a few months shy of having it for 6 years. That is unbelievable!! This has been Ryan's main vehicle for the majority of this time and so he is pretty sad that it is gone (he is going to miss getting a massage and relaxing in the sauna on his way home from work). I am going to miss being able to hear him 2 miles away.
Goodbye my love!!
