So Sad

It's official, Chad sold the Bug.  It really is sad, we've made a lot of great friends because of it.  At least the friends and the memories don't go with the car.  :)

We received a deposit on it about three weeks ago, received the final check about a week and a half ago and the car was finally picked up last week.  It's new home is in Hercules, CA.  The guy who bought it hired a company to come and pick it up for him.  The first truck that they sent was a regular car hauler and because Chad had lowered the Bug, there's no way that it was going to be able to get it up the ramps without doing some serious damage.  The ramps were also too far apart and wouldn't have worked anyway. 

The following day, the same company sent another truck that worked well. The crazy thing is that when Chad was starting up the car to let it warm up, it ran out of gas.  He thought maybe that was a sign that the car wasn't meant to leave.

We're sad to see it go, but we're using that money to pay off some of our debt so that in a year or two, we'll be able to buy another house and add another member to our family.  So technically, the money is going to a really good cause.  :)

Here's one of the last few pictures of Brynn and Chad that we took in the Bug last week:
