Happy Cariversary

Today I celebrate my secI ond anniversary with my car- my second longest relationship. I had my first car for 4 years and about 2 weeks.
Anyway, I remember the day of buying my car very vividly. I had sold the other car in August- early August, and it was cash for clunkers time, so really, buying a car without a trade in was not going so well. But I found a great car- a 2007 Blue Toyota Rav4... the only thing different from car 1 to car 2 was 7 model years and approximately 80,000 miles. So we began the transfer- it was in Florida.
I remember the nice Carmax person, Andrew who helped us get the car to KY, and then since I had moved back to Lex for school, he picked me up and took me to Lou so that I could get the car... I still had the choice to not get the car, but how was I going to get back to Lex if I didnt get the car?
Anyway, I loved the car, and we bought it.
Lots of number-y things going on there too... It was 09-09-09. A Wednesday (9 letters) in September (9 letters) we signed the paperwork in room 27 (2+7=9)... Yea... All kinds  of wonderful nines.
So we signed the paperwork, signed the checks and there I was, I had a new car. Whoa man.
But by this time it was like 5 or 6 pm, and I needed to get back to Lex. I think I may have driven home simply to show my mom my new car and pick up some things that I had left at home.
It turned out to be a great day... the car is a wonderful car, and I have put about 25,000 miles on him, his name is Troy- I've been told that cars are females... but mine is a male.
The most interesting thing of the day, as I remember it, was that I rode with a complete stranger from Lexington to Louisville. Yea, that was weird.

Keeping this post short- I have class tomorrow :(
And while this anniversary is a happy one- I warn you, I have a few more anniversaries coming up- and they arent so happy.
In fact, this coming week will be an extremely hard week.

Planning ahead- so that you can skip reading or read at your own risk or whatever. I imagine I will write about nine-eleven.
Then, Monday is the 4th anniversary of the passing of my Grandma.
