Connor's 16th birthday is sneaking up on us fast! I can't believe he will be driving and DATING! I think I'm more worried about the dating than I am the driving. He's actually a pretty good driver. We have this old 1982 Chevy Pickup Truck that was originally Matthew's grandpa's then his uncle bought it from him, then Matthew's dad ended up with it from him, then Matthew's brother in-law bought it from him, then a few years ago we bought it from him. Are ya following me? Oh well, it doesn't really matter, the point is that the truck has been in the family for years. So, this truck has been sitting in Matthew's parents garage since we bought it. (yep, I did say that we bought it a few years ago) It needed a little work... Now that Connor is so close to having his license we decided to get it fixed up and give it to him. We swore we would never just give a car to any of our kids, but well what else are we gonna do with this big ol' truck that's just been sitting in Matthew's dad's garage? Anyway, Matthew, Connor and I went over the other day to do some sanding so that we can get it painted. It was fun to do it together as a family (shhhh.... don't tell anyone but Matthew and Connor really did most of the work). I know Matthew's dad is going to be ecstatic when we finally get that thing out of his garage!
