How could I forget?

Honestly, I really did think about my post for this past Tuesday but just never sat down long enough to post the blog. I'll go ahead and update for this week so I can be on schedule when Tuesday rolls around again. I'm thankful...
1. a few more Thank You notes have been written.
2. that I was safe on the road this week...14+ hours of driving.
3. my friend has a healthy boy on the way.
4. that Chris was so willing to help me move furniture. We rearranged the den.
5. we were invited to a dance party next weekend!
6. my schedule allowed me to take 1/2 day off of work this week to take care of much needed errands. Verizon family share plan, joint checking account, rocking chair shopping.
7. I saw my mom this week. She met me in Irmo with a container of cucumbers and tomatoes. Yum!
8. that I will be in Lawrence and Ann's wedding. Chris will read scripture.
9. for a husband that truly enjoys cooking.
10. for friends that share the love of God.

I had so many hours on the road this week that I had lots of time to think. I started thinking about the previous company car that I just turned in. Although, never was it a car I would buy (it was a Dodge), but it certainitely had emotional value for me and Chris. This was the car we made our trips back and forth in to Columbia while planning out wedding. This is the car we drove to Clemson that night he proposed to me. And, this was the car left in from the church after we became husband and wife. I'm sad to think that the next person who owns that car will have no idea the memories that were made in it.
Does anyone else get attached to their cars? I remember as a child, my mom crying in the driveway of a friends house while the new owner of the Ford station wagon my parents had just sold drove away. This was the car that my mom & dad had brought my brother and I home in from the hospital. At the time, I just didn't understand. Why wouldn't she be excited about another car, I certainitely was.
Now, I understand completely.
