When we started talking about the time that we were newlyweds the conversation turned to the cars we owned.
I love to talk about that time in my life.
We were newlyweds with a lot of expenses and very little money so buying a car was out of the question.
Before my husband married he lived at home with his sister and mother. They had a family car and did many things as a family. Aaron used the car to get to work, and when he had a social engagement.
SO the arrangement was that we would SHARE the car with his sister and mother.
Aaron would have the car during the week so he could get to work and his sister would take a bus to get to her job.
We shared the car on the weekends.
I was not happy about that.
After a few years we were able to buy our own car!! Hallelujah!!
We bought a pink and white Chevy Bel Air off the lot, it was certainly not my choice of color but it was what we could afford.
Okay, now we had a car - that was a great step forward, but what about me.
When I wanted the car for the day I had to drive my husband to work, and that wasn't bad, but the thing was that he had to be at work at 7:30 a.m!
I wasn't happy about that and only took the car when I really needed it.
Well better days were coming!
My sister-in-law bought herself a new car and we bought the old car from her.
Happy Days! I finally had wheels of my own!!!!
Freedom at last!!
What was the first car you owned?
