WARNING: Long post :)
This Valentine's Day weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a very long time! I surprised Jeffrey with his old blazer he had in high school. It was his very first car & I know for a fact there is not 1 friend of ours from HS that does not have a memory in this thing! Sounds silly but it was a staple in our relationship.. and just a big part of our adolescent years! Not a weekend went by that all of us weren't piled up in it listening to Rob Zombie, Korn or the Dixie Chicks! What a combination, right!?
Jeffrey sold it our Senior year of HS to get his beloved Mustang. His uncle bought it from him and he has had it ever since. His cousin drove it when he turned 16 but didn't exactly take care of it. It's had a new paint job :/ Had the 6in lift taken down to 4 :/ Speakers taken out :/ The "KC lights" taken off the top :/ And numerous other things changed :/ But overall, it's still our baby!
His uncle let me borrow it for the weekend to surprise Jeffrey with it & I am so glad he did!
We drove around Saturday evening & talked about old times. Drove past his old house where we "fought for the radio" & fell in love :) And then headed out to Gatesville to the Drive In Movie! We got some food & drinks & opened up the tailgate to watch the movie. We snuggled up together & really didn't even want to leave the place! When the movie was over we drove around some more & then checked into a hotel in G-ville.. but we sat in the back of the truck & listened to our old music & talked about our favorite memories for over an hour in the parking lot!
Even driving home was so full of memories bc the family deer lease is just outside of Gatesville & we have spent many a weekends out there. We were driving home one of those weekends (in HS) & the truck started smoking. I think we drove 5mph the whole way back & had to make a stop at Cammy's house when we got back into town to let her cool off! We even remembered the exact spot it started smoking! So funny what you can remember when you haven't thought about them in 12 yrs.
Bottom line- we love this thing. We want to buy it back someday. And fix it back to the way it used to look. We have so many memories in this thing & would love to make even more!
16 years old!

Lovin on his baby!
Man I wish I could find the picture from the old days that looks JUST like this.. I even remember what he was wearing in it!
At the drive in movie..
Yours truly..having the best night!
And last but not least.. we got Kinley's picture with it on Sunday & took her for a ride. Who would've ever thought 12 yrs later we would be driving our baby around in it :)
We also gave Kinley her Valentine presents yesterday..
She got a pillow pet, Cinderella snow globe & a big balloon!
Happy Valentine's Day Y'all!
