The Chevy is gone.
And really, it’s not a big deal. I don’t feel any sorrow or sadness, I don’t miss it. It was a good car. I liked the way it looked and drove, but there will be another car one day. I didn’t feel this crazy sense of attachment that some people feel to things like cars.
What I felt was that my family was paying for two cars when I don’t even work and hardly go anywhere.
What I felt was that if I paid off one of our cars, that would be one less thing to worry about.
What I felt was that the money that we were spending on my car note, my insurance and my gas- we could use to do other things whether for ourselves or for Cadence.
Really, what I felt was that sometimes in life you need to make sacrifices for the sake of your family and most importantly, your children. Chris and I have an amazing relationship, and while it hasn’t always been like this we have learned how to communicate and work as a team. So as a team, we can figure out how to make it work with one car.
When I was making the decision to sell my car, and it was my decision, I thought about the many sacrifices that my parents made for my siblings and I. I thought about the many parents today who sacrifice for their children on a daily basis. And mostly I thought about the people out there who don’t even have one car in their family. People who don’t have a roof over their heads. People who don’t have the ability to have a child… and I remembered how blessed we are. Having 1 car doesn’t change who we are. There’s always someone out there who has it the same or worse.
We have a home, we have our health, we have an amazing daughter and we have each other. Really, that’s all we need.

We’ve only had one car as long as we’ve had kids and it works out…you just have to do a little advanced planning and be willing to do a little more driving from time to time. Good luck.
