Matt really did it!

Matt and his brother Mike flew to Spokane, Washington on March 1st to buy a couple of trucks. There is a dealership in Kellogg, Idaho that has killer deals on trucks, SUVs, and cars. Matt has been wanting a truck for years and years. He started to get serious around Christmastime and I figured he wouldn't really do it. Mike helped him get even more serious though because he found a great deal on a new truck.

Here is Mike and Matt standing by their new trucks. They are pretty much the same truck, but Mike's is a dually. Lets see if I can sound like a man and tell you what kind it is. 2008 Dodge Cummins Diesel, quad cab, long bed, white (ha ha ha), maybe that is all I know. Sorry to all you men that expected a big spill of numbers and words describing the brake system or something like that. Oh, actually, it has a Jake Break, I learned what that was yesterday!



Matt called me around 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday to tell me they were about finished with all the paperwork and that they were going to get on the road soon and head for home. I asked him how many miles his new truck had on it and he said 24, I asked him to take a picture of the odometer for me!


Here is proof that it really happened, there is the beauty in our driveway. I drove it today. It is pretty fun and I think we are going to have a super great summer playing in the hills with it.

Congrats Matt. I know that Joe will be jealous. Have fun with your new truck!

I wondered if the ownership of that shinny new truck sitting in your driveway was yours! How fun for you guys!
24-- I didn't know the odometer went that low. I was sure it started at at least 10,000. :)

Congratulations! There was a sweet white Dodge next to me as we were leaving class this morning. It took me a second to realize it was yours. We are looking forward to some fun times this summer too. Let us know if you find a good place to go!

Congrats Matt! So, I'm curious about what he thought of Kellogg. That is where we went on our honeymoon (real romantic...I know!).

Thanks to Vicki I feel out of the loop with my big arse van:)

Congrats to you and Matt...you're movin' up in the world. I bet he's a happy man with a 24/7 smile on his face. Maybe if he drives the truck he'll say yes to a group COUPLES date...ok, maybe not. That's pushing it. I love the truck and you both have earned it!
