The blue of her eyes


Well, Sienna's weekend started out pretty rough but she is feeling much better now. She ended the week with the flu.  But she ended the weekend with an almost new car.  Bless her heart.  She has had some struggles this past year.  She was driving a 95 Ford Escort with 200,000 miles on it.  The thing was falling apart.  We have been on the lookout for a car for about 4 months now.  She has been chomping at the bit.  We went to look Saturday.  After the first car dealer, she fell and sprained her ankle and I was just like..okay this may not be what we need to be doing right now. I mean first she's sick, then she can't walk.  We did decide to go to West Side Honda and she cried half way there because her ankle was hurting.  I kept saying, Maybe we should just go home. maybe we shouldn't do this today.  But she insisted and there at West Side Honda was the car of her dreams. Well, maybe I exaggerate a little. But she loved the car. We didn't really spend too much time looking at it because it was too expensive.  But then we got Rick to come back later and he wanted us to consider that car and well, if Rick says its okay, then it must be.  So long story short, after much haggling over two days we got the car!  A 2005 Civic EX SE and the color, as Sienna pointed out, matches her eyes.  Oh!  The best part of the story... Sienna's trusty Escort broke down on her this morning on her way to church of all places.   She was stranded on the highway on her way to church.  The car just sort of died.  So that's when we knew that this absolutely was meant to be. And that we had to buy a car this weekend if at all possible or I was going to have to get up early tomorrow and take her to work and well, I sleep in on Mondays. :) So it would have to be today that we bought one.
So, the flu has passed, her ankle is healed up and she has a car that matches her eyes...it was a great weekend.
