I like big trucks (and I can not lie).

It's been almost 10 years since that poor deer wrecked my truck.  And not one day goes by (seriously, not one) that I don't tell Jeff that I miss my pick up.  Damn that deer.  But the Tahoe was more "responsible".  It fit everyone, it towed the boat, it towed the trailer and it was a little more comfortable for us grown ups.

But did I mention how much I missed my truck?

Fast forward to the now.

When we make changes, we make BIG changes.  HUGE changes.  Like sell the house, by a smaller one, downsize and declutter.  As we go through all of our stuff, we realize that the indoor storage is less of a concern as outdoor storage.  We have a tractor, a wagon, seeders, spreaders, snow blowers, blowers, weed wackers and a trailer.  A full size trailer.  And yep, you guessed it....NO outdoor storage.  Now, there's really not a need for the snow blower, the tractor, the spreader or the weed wacker.  But that dang trailer is a problem.

We haul firewood, junk to and from camp and it's made at least a million trips to Lowes.  No trailer?  Big problem.

Unless you have a TRUCK!  Bingo, I'd found my in.

So meet my new baby.  With a little tear, I traded in my Tahoe for a big girl truck.  And now we still have seats for everyone, but a bed that will replace the trailer.  And for not one penny more (thanks Jeff for your awesome negotiation skills!).

So goodbye trailer, I've got my truck back.
