You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Who names a van Morrison?

23 February, 2005 /

Say hello to our newest family member, Morrison.

It was time to be all growed up and buy my very own first car. I had hoped my first car would have been something like Eleanor from “Gone in 60 Seconds”, but being the parent and step parent of 5 kids, I had to just bite the bullet and buy the van.

This means I won’t be getting that Digital Rebel. This also means I won’t be eating until the end of time.

But my kids won’t have to be split into two car everytime we want to go somewhere.

Shaun named it Morrison. He kicked around the idea of Halen, but Morrison stuck.

Tyler said, “Who names a van Morrison?”
I looked at him thinking he would get it. He didn’t.

I’m SO OLD…and I drive a mini van! *

I saw this sign driving the new van on the way home. You think he’ll live past the first week?

*the old comment comes from the ‘van morrison’ comment…not because i’m driving a mini van. If I were old, I would be driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee. this comment is for my sister who won’t be able to read this comment because the print is too small.
