Goodbye, Hello

Yesterday was a hard day for me, I won’t lie about it. After just over two years of pure joy we sold Leroy, my 2006 SRX.

I admit the loss of Leroy was extremely hard because of the emotional attachment I had to it. When we bought that car we were newlyweds, I was just starting an amazing job and there was so much ahead of us. The road we traveled the next two years with Leroy would take us though a whole pregnancy, a drive to the hospital and a drive home with a newborn babe. I always felt so safe with Liam in that backseat, as if there was a bubble surrounding us that always had us protected. Surprisingly I held myself together well until I saw the man unscrew the license plate and I broke. It was like he was stripping off every memory that had been made while driving that car. He then swung it around the parking lot and parked it behind a closed gate, and Leroy was gone, he was no longer mine.

However, we must look at the bright side. Selling Leroy is one step closer towards a fairly immanent move (which to be honest I am on and off the fence about) and I was lucky enough to get Ruxin (Alex hates his name but I am sticking with it) a Mitsubishi Endeavor with almost all the amenities that Leroy had. 
 

I am beyond grateful and lucky that I was able to get another SUV that is really nice and has room for us to grow. I hope that the time we spend driving Ruxin will be just as good to us as with Leroy.
