We sure made some memories together

It's sad but it's true; I sold my truck. It took me a few years to warm up to the idea of selling it, but I finally got there and sealed the deal two weeks ago. I sure loved that truck.



I know, it's just a truck... It was much more than just a truck to me, though. It was my first vehicle; it was my independence. I poured a lot of sweat and blood into it.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned in high school, and I learned many of them with the truck by my side. It's hard to recall all of them, but some of the great memories that come immediately to mind (and in no particular order) include:

- Day trips to the coast with my girlfriend and future wife. I proposed to her on one of those day trips - the rest is history.

- Night trips to the the Auburn drive-in movie theater with Abby.

- Sanding it down and getting it repainted.

- Skipping school on Abby's 18th birthday and taking her for a ride to Seattle via the ferry system.

- Driving with the sunroof and sliding rear windows open.

- Driving with Abby next to me on the bench seat.

- Our claim to fame: My truck and I were extras in the movie Ten Things I Hate About You.

- Driving away from our wedding and reception in the truck!

It wasn't the newest or the nicest vehicle out there, but I sure thought it was great. Together, we made a lot of memories. I'll miss you, my truck. May you go on to make more memories for others. Thank you!
