I sold the truck.

I sold my 1998 Tacoma yesterday. I loved that truck, but it was time for it to go. I keep justifying it, but it still feels strange, not having it around. I must've made 20 trips up to MD to see Sandra before we were married in that truck, and we left the church in Frederick, MD on our "honeymoon" (we got a hotel room in Frederick and watched T.V. for our first night as a married couple) in that truck. Lots of good memories were spawned from that truck... Offroading, road trips, driving really way too fast in a truck with oversized tires, teaching Sandra how to properly work a clutch (VERY good time, full of laughs)... Every time she stalled it, she would panic, and say, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't break it, did I? Is it ok? Donny I don't want to do this I'm nervous... I'm gonna break your truck." She did learn very well how to drive it, and when I came back from being out to sea for a month, she was great at clutch driving. She still is, too.



She's a Beaut, I tell ya. But she's someone else's, now. And their money was a Beaut, and it sure is mine, now, as well.

Just wanted to let everyone see updated pictures of the Bean.

These pictures are adorable! I loved the peek-a-boo movie. Michael is constantly playing little jokes like that--my other boys weren't so coy. Maybe 2007 was a year for funny babies:).

P.S. It is with great regret that I realized on August 27th that I had not called my only biological niece to say happy birthday. I will have to call her tomorrow and say happy Tuesday.
