Buh-Bye Blazer, Hello Mazda

An intra-family transaction has been in the works for a few months, but nothing was set in stone. Almost out of the blue, Aaron's brother Luke decided to pull the trigger. In a matter of hours, the Blazer was on an auto-transport truck headed to Provo. It all happened pretty quickly. The boys loved watching the truck driver load Daddy's car onto the big transporter. The driver was a very nice guy -- native Idahoan -- and let the boys take a look inside the cab. Aaron made it home from work just in time to see the truck, trailer, and Blazer disappear around the corner. Just a couple days later, Luke sent us this picture. Luke is happy to have transportation and the Blazer (yes, it has thoughts and feelings) is excited to revisit his old stomping grounds at BYU.About a week later, we followed in the footsteps of our mentor of all things motorized, Shane, and got a new-to-us Mazda3. It's a 2005 with plenty of miles, but that made it cheap. Its single owner babied the car, so it's in pretty good shape. I think it's a really cute car, but Aaron insists that it's "cool," not "cute."

Aaron loves driving it and I think he looks pretty good in it, too!
