Three Year Anniversary
I just looked at the calendar & realized that I have had my Corolla Sport for three whole years! That's the longest I have ever owned a vehicle & the second longest commitment of my life up to this point. Cell phone contracts are only two years & apartment leases are only one year. I've been working at the nuclear pharmacy for a little over five years so I suppose that is truly the longest commitment of my life. It's funny, but I always seem to get the itch to move on & try something else - especially with vehicles, jobs, phones, & even living situations. But I've held on to my car for quite a while now (mostly b/c every time I start looking at something new/different there is someone right at my elbow telling me not to do it!). I'm trying to hold out for the beauty that is living without a car payment. What will that be like? Someday hopefully I'll know. Until then I'll have to resist that restless feeling that comes over me & makes me want to affect a big change. Does anyone else have that sensation? That things have been so routine & it's time to shake it up? It's the same impulse I get that makes it hard for me to sit still for too long (hence, I am not at all crafty; it requires too much quiet attention). The older I get, the more ADHD I get. Should make for some interesting golden years, huh? ;-)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
By the way, I don't mean congratulations on that terrible itch you get. Congrats on subduing it and keeping your car. :) Also, I would be hooked on The Amazing Race too if it weren't on Sundays. I don't get back in time to watch it.
So, Erin...you can set your VCR to record American Idol but not the Amazing Race? Somehow that doesn't make sense to me ;-)
Mike has confessed to being a little worried about my problems with commitment. He's glad I made it to the 3 year anniversary with the car, too (he's had his truck for something like 7 or 8 years so he's down with the committing thing) ;-)
We love you just the way you are - ADHD and all! :)
i love not having a car payment....both troy's and my vehicles are from 1999....we are actually looking to purchase a newer vehicle because of the baby...my two door and troy's extended cab truck won't suffice much longer...
excited to hear more about the house.
