We have had some bitter sweet moments this last month.
Our mazda finally died :( It was a great car and it started having problems back in January of 2008 so we gave it to one of my younger brothers...well he didn't like it so my Dad used it and my baby sister who started driving last month was set to use it. She finally got her parking pass for school and a week later it completely died.
Over Easter weekend we went to the shop and pulled out our stereo system that we never got around to pulling out before we sent it home, but did not want to trash. We took 2 last photos of it. It really was a great car. We bought it when we had been married for about 9 months off of e-bay motors. Seriously we bought a car online, but the seller was in Houston and we got to test drive it before we bid on it. We got it pretty cheap too $6,300 and we used it for just over 5 years and my family was able to get just over another year out of it. What a deal about $1000/year for a car...plus a few repairs along the way.

We also finally sold our old boat this month. Another bitter sweet. Bitter because we wish we still had a boat, but we have not used it for 2 years since it is old and is not worth fixing, but sweet because we get some $$ for it that we were not expecting right now...although I am not sure where the money went.
We really would like to get another boat someday. I know some people think it is a waste of money, but we had so many great family togetherness experiences on it that if we can afford it we would love to share with our children someday as well.
