New Car!

When we were in Las Vegas in April we somehow starting talking to Grandma Carole about our car. It is a great car, but in the past year we have put over $2,000 dollars into it and it has over 170,000 miles on it. So, needless to say it has been around for a while and there is no way we would ever get any money out of it if we tried to sell it so we figure we might as well drive it till it won't go anymore. Anyway, when we were telling Cameron's grandma about the car and how many miles it has on it she made us a proposal.

Basically, she had bought a car not too long ago and she ended up not liking it because it was a two-door, so she asked us if we would want it as an early graduation present. We were like "uh yes!". So this past weekend we made a really quick trip to Great Falls, MT (the car was at her house there).

We left Saturday after I got done with work and it took a little over five hours to get there so we arrived at about midnight or so. The next day we went to the Lewis and Clark museum that they have there. It was really cool. Then when we got back from that we had a huge BBQ with tons of Keith's family. It was fun to meet a lot of new people. I also met a few more of Cameron's relatives who live there. We played the Wii and Wii fit that night as well. Then we left the next day around one. It was another fun and quick trip, and trips are always better when you come back with a new car (:


So here are a couple pictures of us with the new car. It is in great shape and only has about 49,000 miles on it. The inside is like new and is much more spacious than our old car. I will put up more pictures of the car as soon as I take some.


Here we are getting the keys from Grandma Carole. Excuse me looking like I just rolled out of bed or something. This was the morning after we got there and I just threw my hair up real quick and it was raining that day and I totally forgot a sweatshirt so I am wearing one of Camerons in these pictures.


It is a 2001 Toyota Solara.


We are SO grateful for this amazing gift and are so indebted to Grandma Carole. Thanks again SO SO much!!!
