Campbell, My First Love

Wow.

I have a car. My grampa (who I love oh so much) just got a new Subaru, and instead of trading in his old car he gave it to me! Crazy! It is a 2003 Toyota Camry, and I named it Campbell. I think it's the best car in the entire world. I can't believe how much I lucked out. So it's still on the lot, but I'm going to go get it Monday, and by the end of the week I'll have all of the paperwork done, and it will be driveable.

I'll be able to get somewhere at any given time, and I won't have to adjust the seat and the mirrors every single time I get in to drive, and I'll have the radio set to all my stations, and perpendicular parking will be easier because I won't be all messed up from driving a different car for so long. I can finally drive my friends around to make up for all of the chauffering they've done for me. I'll change oil and rotate tires and take such good care of it that it will live for 10 more years. I'll wash it and keep it looking nice, and take it out for ice cream and picnics, and sing to it at sunset on a warm summer night with the windows rolled down. We'll go to football, baseball and soccer games together, and I'll take it to the movies and out dancing. We'll skip school together, and in a couple of summers we'll go on a road trip and see the country up close togeher. We'll share good times and bad times, laughter and tears. We have so many memories to make.

I'll have other cars throughout my lifetime. But nothing will be like Campbell, my first love.
