and it was all yellow.

Cardi/Belt/Shoes/Ring: Target.  Cropped pants: Gap.  T-shirt: The Loft. Necklace/ Earrings:Ross.  Bag: J Crew (Thrifted)

When Mr. Husband and I were dating, he drove this little ’96 KIA Sephia.  And since it was winter in Rexburg, we spent a lot of time in that car.  There were no automatic locks, the back passenger window was missing the rubber seal so it leaked water every time it rained, and the handles stuck every time it was really cold out, which, incidentally it always was.  About a year after we were married, the knob on the fan gave out, so turning on the ac or heater involved a good pair of pliers and some skill.  Man, I loved that car.

Since there was only a tape deck, I would bring my walkman cd player and attach it to the car through one of those tape adapters that you stick in the stereo, and a bunch of my mixed cds.  (am I dating myself by admitting that I was married years before the first Ipod came out?)  Anyways, I was really into making mixed cds back then.  I know, so cool.  My favorite mixed CD had a bunch of great songs on it, but the first was Coldplay’s “Yellow.”  By the time I brought that CD for listening, husband and I were pretty much in love.  The song came on and half way through, Mr. Husband turns to me and in his never sappy voice says, “this is how I feel about you.”

I really miss that Kia.

  9. Love that song! I have so many fond memories of my husbands red pickup that he drove when we were dating. We would drive out to Lake Pleasant (in AZ), listening to Greenday — VIA HIS ADAPTER!!!
