Bravada

Tonight I am thankful for our 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada. We purchased this car from a friend of the family in 2007 for a very low price.

For five years, we had many memories of that SUV. We took our nephew Mylo to Cabelas the afternoon Trish was in labor. Then we drove to the hospital to meet our new nephew Wyatt. We went to Traverse City on a camping trip together. We drove it north to camp with our friends Amanda and Corey. We pulled our speed boat to and from the lakes in the summer. We pulled our trailer loaded with our lawn mower and drove over to my grandmas house to mow a few times. We also drove the Bravada to pick up our dog Marla when she was a puppy. I've loaded tons of softball equipment in and out of that trunk. It also hauled six of our Christmas trees home each December. All and all, we have loved that Bravada.

Tonight, we sold the car that Josh loved dearly for a decent chunk of change. We hope the next family gets as much use out of the Bravada as we did. Tonight I am sadly thankful for being able to sell our Bravda. We will surely miss you.
