I keep meaning to post this on here but of course keep forgetting. Needless to say for those of you who haven't seen or read it here is my letter for 2010!
Ramblings from the Larsen Family Car
First off I’d like to introduce myself to you. I am a 2009 Silver Toyota Camry. In January I was enjoying watching the world from a parking lot when a darling family of three wanted to take me for a test drive. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but they looked like a nice family so I agreed to the test drive. After a quick ride they decided to trade their Toyota Corolla in for me instead.
I was a little timid as Jared, Katie and a darling four year old girl named Hailey climbed in and away we went. Not long after we arrived at a humble home in West Jordan where I got familiar with a nice warm garage. I have now become very familiar with this family. I even now like to call them my own. They spend lots of time with me. I’d like to share with you what I find myself doing most with each of them.
Three days a week I used to make a trip back and forth to take Hailey to preschool in Taylorsville but now we drive daily to Mountain Shadows Elementary where I assume she attends kindergarten. I also enjoy eating crumbs I find under Hailey’s car seat between shopping trips or while waiting at Synergy Dance Academy. From what I hear she is a good dancer and on a competition dance team this year as well as in tumbling classes. Occasionally I find myself driving her to places that make her smile including: Chick Fil A, Grandparents homes, friends houses, swimming pools, to yogurt shops, toy stores or where ever else her heart desires. Hailey is a daring little girl and I love seeing her happy smiling face each day. It amazes me how much she has learned and grown in the past year I have known her. Her parents are lucky to have such a sweet little girl.
Katie prefers to call me her Taxi Cab. It seems we spend the most time together out of all the family. I make sure to assist Katie in getting her errands done as well and making sure she is where she is supposed to be. I know we often end up at the local gas station, I think that Katie runs on the fuel of diet coke. We also enjoy going shopping when time permits, being involved with PTA at Hailey’s school and volunteering in her class, making weekly visits to crafting stores, dining out, taking items to boutiques for her to sell, etc. Katie is very busy but I enjoy spending most of the day with her and keeping her company.
Jared is the family member I see the least of. From what I hear he prefers to use public transportation. I do know he works two jobs, one for the LDS Church as well as Rescue Alert and has a great knowledge of Accounting. I do occasionally see him on the weekends. He enjoys taking his family for rides on Sunday evenings. Also whenever he drives my radio seems to be on Sports, from what I gather he is a big sports fan! Jared keeps busy with church callings as well as serving on their townhomes Association Board. I can tell he loves his wife of 8 years and 5 year old daughter very much. He is very supportive of them in all their activities and adventures. Even though we spend the least amount of time together I know he is a hard working Husband and Father and would do anything for his family.
I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. I am looking forward to the Holiday Season and possibly seeing more of my family participating in their annual Christmas traditions. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!
