Themes for the day had constantly been changing throughout the past month, so when I realized we were in the week of her party, I needed to get a set theme.

A 1 Car Family in a Modern World

Last week Mark sold his truck.  With a possible (and 98% likely) move again in our future, and trying to finish our bathroom remodel, I believed Mark decided to sell in order to have just a tad more money to finish things up here.
