Uckkk is just not the same...

Earlier this week, Rick sold his truck. Actually, it felt like he just left his truck at Carmax and stole some money while he was there! We have loved and appreciated the ole' "uckk", as Micah calls it, but it was dying a slow and expensive death, so we were also happy to let it go!

The saddest part was listing to Micah cry the whole way home from selling it. "Uckk, uckk, uckk.." Katie was so sweet to try to explain that we would get another uckkk! We finally had to drop the whole uckk discussion. (And no wonder the kid can't talk right!)

Anyway, today we replaced old uckk. Unfortunately, this new (to us) one is a 4 door (one of the reasons we needed another truck) and he is sitting in the back again. No more sitting by dad with the wind blowing through his hair - this one actually has a/c! (I propose a toast for the first time that both of our vehicles have a/c at the same time.) Micah is not thrilled with the new arrangements. He sat in the back during the test drive and pointed at me in the front passenger seat, accusingly, since I was apparently in his seat! He was not happy. But then I gave him a sucker and he forgave me! (Too bad that doesn't work for everyone, but that's another blog!)

But that's the new order around here. I posted a pic of a similar truck that I found online. Rick's version doesn't have the running boards or a bed cover, nor is it parked by such a nice green lawn! But hopefully now you will recognize us if we honk when we see you on the road!
