Life in the Fast Lane



A month after Dave and I were married in 2003 the transfer from my company that we had been hoping for came through and we were heading out of the Midwest for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Dave owned a sweet Dakota RT pickup with a Hemi. It was his prized possession and he only have 10 payments left on it.  But his monthly payment was rather large.  We were moving on a hope and a prayer after having spent our little savings on our Vegas wedding and Tybee Island, Georgia honeymoon.  Being that he was moving with no job, Dave made the heartbreaking decision to sell his RT before we moved. In retrospect he was right...we could never have made those 10 last payments.  But I felt terrible and I told him someday we would get him another RT with a Hemi.  Well on April 29th, we picked up Dave's Challenger RT Classic with a Hemi.  Let me tell you....this car is awesome.  Dave is happy.  I am happy.  I HAD to document this special day.

I used this sketch from Stuck? Sketches:

 All the papers are from Jillibean Soup.  The enamel dots and white Thickers for the title are from my stash.  I am entering this layout in Clique Kits May Challenge,  They give away a fabulous prize every month....you should check it out because their kits are pretty fabulous, too.


I love it when Karma comes to pay a visit. And Dave had some good Karma coming.  We will be enjoying this car for a LONG time.

Thanks for coming by.  Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
