Mini vs. Jag


This morning, Matt officially turned in (sold) his black minivan and had to pick up his rental for the week…a new Jaguar.  Does he miss his van? NO.  Did he take the long way into work this morning? YES.

Matt LOVES vehicles and thus, this has turned into the BEST.WEEK.EVER.  I am happy for him.  Matt works very hard for our family and he should be able to enjoy the autobahn in something other than a minivan that would start cutting out at 160km.

Tonight, we enjoyed our last date night in Germany.  And ironically, we ended at a restaurant that we found and ate at during our house-hunting trip in March 2011.  Only during our first visit, I was crying because we were not finding any homes that I felt safe to live in and tonight, I was filled with pride, happiness and excitement re: our return to the USA in just four days.  It is interesting how the things in life that we most often fear, end up being the most gratifying and fulfilling.

So needless to say, we enjoyed a good meal and BOTH enjoyed taking turns behind the wheels of our rental!!  IT.WAS.AWESOME!!  I FINALLY did not have to worry about getting a speeding ticket!  I truly will miss the Autobahn…not only are there areas where you can go whatever speed you feel comfortable driving at, but people actually know how to responsibly drive!!  They take it very seriously and it is a joy to drive on!  I am going to make sure that I set the cruise next week while driving on HWY-20 and I-35!!!
