Life is a highway...

There comes a time when we must surrender some of our youthful possessions, to make room for some of our grown up things. In my situation, the "trade-in" comes in the form of a sporty car..in exchange for a bouncing baby boy.  After the harsh realization that a standard infant car seat wouldn't comfortably fit in the back seat of my speed racer, it was time for us to make the family-friendly upgrade.  So off with the BLUE and in with the NEW.  Say hello to our new family addition:

The irony of the story, is that in 16 years from now, my son will probably look at this and say "Mom, why'd you get rid of that cool car?".  and my foreseen reply "Hmmmmm...I wonder son." [insert smirk here]

Thankfully this "grown-up sacrifice" was just a possession, because what i promise to never surrender my friends...is the youthful spirit that lives within - that's staying for the long haul. 

 
So many life changes already, before our baby boy even gets here.  I think i can end this transitional phase, with a quote from our musical friend Tom Cochrane:

 

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

Sing it with me my friends (you know you want to..) "Life is a highway.  I want to ride it all night long..."

Ready for the ride,
