A Car

She did it! She worked hard, she saved her money, and this weekend she bought her first car! She's the first kiddo to do buy her own car.

Way to go T! We are VERY proud of you! We know it hasn't always been easy but you've stuck through it and you are now reaping the rewards.

She knew always growing up that we were never going to be able to just give her a car. I think it stung a little when some friends were just given a car. I think it probably stings a little knowing that she has to work when so many of her friends don't have to. I think working is important. I don't want work to be more important than school but you need to know that in life, you have to work for things. It's frustrating to watch those around you have it "easier" but I'm not sure it is easier. So many lessons are being learned by being out there working for your things.

So she bought a 1994 Mercedes Benz C280. It seems to be a great little car. I would be pretty jealous if it weren't 21 years old. I pray that this will be a good car for her. I pray that it will teach her all the good lessons and that it will be a good investment.
