It's Gone!!!

Everyone help me in cheering for Johnny! The 'great green curse' is gone!

After some hassle with various situations, John finally decided that it was time to bid Jade (our little green money-eater) adieu. It hit a point where the expense if fixing the darn thing was way more than the car was worth to begin with. So as of Monday, he drove it out and dropped it off at the junk yard and then we went to the grocery store to celebrate...with Rachel grinning from ear to ear the whole way. In all honesty, I don't think I've stopped grinning every time I've thought of the car now that it is gone. I can't begin to tell you how much of a relief it has been to not have to worry about where we were going to get the money to fix it, not to mention feed it oil and gas. If you can believe this, our van actually gets better gas mileage than the little car did!

So clap him on the back when you see him next, John has made the sacrifice and Rachel is skipping down the sidewalk!
