Miss Olivia June and my Mid-Life Crisis

Meet Miss Olivia June .
She is MY new 1973 Volkswagon bug. newly
rebuilt engine, new transmission. new tires, and she hits 75 mph like a dream. over the past several months i have been saving money in my own "Bug" account at the Bank. i roughly have about 600.00 in that account. Come next summer i may have enough to actually purchase one.

Last evening Rob "got a call from a freind" so Rob asked if i would mind them getting together... of course i said sure... i fiddle faddled about the house was getting ready for bed at nearly 9:30 and the phone rang. Justin told me Pop needed me outside to help him with something.... in my mind i am thinking... what new techo device would welcome my home.

I walk outside as Rob is driving up in "Olivia June" wearing a huge smile. now what in the world did i do... i stood there as my mother would say "like a Bastard calf" and stared. i didnt move, say a word, shake my head.. i was trying to figure out what was happening... inside the silent war went a little something like this... NO STINKING WAY!!!!!!.... then, OF OCURSE IT IS MINE... ROB CHERISHES ME..... NO STINKING WAY... NUH UH!!! YES ITS REAL THIS IS VERY LIKE ROB TO LOVE ME THIS WAY.....REALLY? ITS MINE....? about then Rob Askes me... "Well?" and i realized that the reaction i was having now was very much the reaction i had when he asked me to Marry him 20 years ago....of course , back then i said yes and last night he said the same thing... yes, its for you... do you like it?

have you ever cried like you thought your legs would give out? that's when it hit me.... he gave me a dream... and it is sitting for me... in my drive way.

20 years ago i left my first v.w. on the side of the road burning on fire... and since then i have longed for one again....so for him to save too... and forego his bonus check so that i could see my dream realized.. cause it's just that, that is the way it is with this man .... he drives 2 hours to another city to look at it and bring it home... for me.

Do you now know why i said Yes to him 20 years ago? cause he cherishs me... not because he buys me things... its because he listens to the beat of my heart and responds.... because i mean that much to him....

now all of you can go throw up or do whatever you do when you feel sick.
me, ? i am going for a summer drive in Miss Olivia.... as i have named her ... i would have liked to name my daughter but, we settled on Heather instead,, i have always loved that English name... and my Bugly came to me in the month of June. ( quit rolling your eyes... dont think i dont see you!!!)
