Today is a sad day in our household. My husband sold his Jeep, and a part of him fears he also sold his hopes and dreams in regards to experiences he wanted to have with his sons. This is not the first recreational vehicle my husband has had to sell, but it hits a little harder this time because there is not an immediate plan to buy a new fun vehicle. Realistically the Jeep is not practical for our family now that we have grown, but I did try to convince my husband to hold onto it longer...just like I had the Bronco he sold years ago. However, his mind was made up because the money will help allow us to hopefully pay down enough of our house payment enabling us to refinance at a much lower interest rate. The plan is to refinance and in about a year buy a larger home and use our current house as a rental. We will see how those plans go.
James was sad about my husband selling the Jeep, and I think that broke my husband's heart even more. My husband and James have special memories together in that Jeep. That is always the hard part...letting go of something that holds such loving, special times. I really feel bad for my husband this time around...you can just tell he is so incredibly bummed. He reassures himself by saying he is doing it to make things better for our family, and I am sure that helps him, but not enough to cover the immediate pain of losing the Jeep.
After all of this sacrifice, I hope we can manage to refinance without any major hindrances. If not, my husband will be crushed all the more for the loss of our fun Jeep.
