Two weeks ago we said goodbye to an old friend. This friend has been with us since I graduated from college in May of 2000. She has helped us move four times, brought home two beautiful babies from the hospital, been to Branson countless times, carried us to see precious family, and so much more. Through it all she never complained, or needed any repairs. She was a great car, her only flaw was her size. We will miss the ol' girl.
November 2009 the night we traded her in at the dealership-Goodbye 2000 Toyota Camry. (yes Lexi is wearing boots with shorts, I have lost control of dressing her.)
Here she is though the years....
March 2005 Daddy and Lexi
Lexi 21 months old
First day of Preschool August 2005-Lexi 2 years
Our O'Fallon house under contract May 2006, Gracie 1, Lexi almost 3.
Washing cars March 2006, Lexi almost 4, Gracie 2
Going to church June 2007
Yes, I am a dork and took this picture! She had 118, 000 miles when we traded her in.
But we are not without....we added a new friend to our family. Here's hoping she is as wonderful as our old one was.

I might have matched your dealers trade-in value you know. Why didn't you call? You might not have heard, but I asked Santa for a car for Christmas :-)
We're a Toyota family too! Congrats on your new addition.
Congratulations! But I know how it is to be attached. My hyundai has been faithful for all 200,000 miles. I will drive her until she dies or I do!
Marion and I saw the title of this post and worried that you were talking about the dog....We're glad it wasn't ole Titus!! Contrats on the new car :)
What a cute post! Love, love, love the new ride. It's about time you got to drive in the "new car smell"!
Will you be bringing your new friend to Tenn?
Isn't it amazing how so many memories are attached to our cars?! Hope that cool new car gives you just as many great memories!
