I really do ♥ my Camry!   I drove a red two door sports car right up until the day I gave birth to my first child. 

For a few months before I was due my husband and I test drove many cars.  Just cars.  I refused to step foot inside the mini-van.  I just couldn’t go from the two door, red, sunroof chick car to a mini-van.  We tested many cars out – but I fell in love with my sliver Camry.  Nothing too fancy – but safe & reliable for my baby and I.  It had the latch system and we were good to go!

We were cutting it close though.

The afternoon we were scheduled to pickup my new Camry I got a call from the Dr. saying I needed to come in for an induced labor, as I was starting to develop pre-eclamsia.

Knowing I couldn’t do all the car stuff after childbirth, and needed the car to bring our baby home – we went to the dealer before heading to the hospital.  We quickly rushed them through all the paperwork – I think they were afraid of my water breaking right then & there!

Here I am on the way to the hospital in our Camry!

It has almost been 6 years since we got that car.  She has just over 116,000 miles – few dents & scratches – but NO repair work done.  NONE!  {Do you hear me knocking on the wood!}

Did you know this?  Camry came from mixing up the words

 my car  =  camry   It is my car – my Camry.

We even encouraged my dad to go Toyota – check him out in his cool ride! What do you think?  Any other Toyota fans out there?
