Pay It Forward

I think we've all heard the phrase, "Pay it forward" and I just got the best opportunity ever to do just that. 
When I turned 16, my sister Amy gave me our '82 Volvo stationwagon that had been in the family almost as long as I had!  It had been through both my sisters, earned the name "Norman", and was handed down to me on my birthday.  I was so grateful for her being willing to give it up and will always remember that special gift of getting the car keys.  Norman was my first love and will forever hold a special place in my heart.  Well, things have worked out perfectly for us to do the same thing for my niece, Summer.  With Brad's new job and the new car to go along with it, we just so happened to have a GREAT 2000 Honda Civic waiting around for someone to drive it.  Since Summer lives in Montana, she actually gets it a year early at just 15!  Again, this car holds a very special place in my heart and she better take good care of it! No pressure, though, Sum!  ;)
 The hand-off!
 There is one happy girl! 
Our attempt at the old Toyota commercials.  Yeah, not so great, but it was fun trying.
