She's all grown up......


Before we know it, she'll be 18. Where has the time gone??? Like Heather said today, "Remember when she was playing her clarinet in Grandma's backyard on Easter during her 7th grade year?" Awe....How the years have flown by....and here's what happened today...

PLUS


EQUALS


We decided against the used Jeep she was gonna buy from her friend. This way we'll have a warranty and it was just a better decision all around. So we took the down payment $ she was gonna give him for the 1996 Jeep w/200,000+ miles on it and put it down on this 2004 KIA Rio with 46,000 miles on it.

And along with that comes responsibility and a car payment, which she is paying most of might I add. She will also be contributing to her insurance premiums monthly!

WELCOME TO ADULT-HOOD HONEY!!!

She takes her behind the wheel test on Wed. so wish her luck! I'm still nervous about her driving by herself, but I'm alllowed to be, right?

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wow, my Mom and Dad made me do the same pay my car payment and insurance. Gosh and I thought 230.oo was a lot when I was 18. Man if only we could still have a combined payment like that!!!
Good for her!!!!!!!!!!
