New Car!

My first car was a black Honda Civic.

I LOVED it!
After I broke my back (almost 4 years ago)
I couldn't use the clutch.
So I sold it to my brother Johnny
and bought the jeep.

I had been wanting something for a while that got
better gas mileage and was reliable.

When my Jeep sold I knew that's what I wanted.
But this time I wanted a white and automatic civic.
Scott and I had been looking on KSL a couple times a day.

Last Friday night around 9 p.m. we found the perfect car!
It had only been online for 1 hour.
The car was everything that I wanted.
And it was way less than I was planning on paying!
Scott started texting the seller, Jeremy.
We told him we wanted to come drive it the next day.
Jeremy said he already had 3 people coming.
So, Scott asked him if we could come that night.
We knew we wouldn't get there until 10PMish.

I grabbed a few overnight things and we were out the door!

Scott called some of his friends to see if we could spend the night
at their place, in case I decided to buy the car.

We had a lovely drive down.
~We spent the whole time talking.~
We got to a culd-a-sac and saw a
cute, white Honda Civic.
I knew I wanted it right then.
Scott drove it first.
(Jeremy, who looked familiar to both of us came with us)
Scott liked it.

I drove it.
And I liked it.
We got back to Jeremy's house,
looked at a few more things and talked a little more.
Jeremy went inside and Scott and I
sat in his black Honda Civic and talked about the white Honda Civic.
Jeremy came back outside,
We told him I wanted to buy it.
And that we would have a cashiers check first thing in the morning.

Scott asked him his last name, he said:

J: Osmond.
S: You're an Osmond?
J: Not one of the many.
S: One of her best friends is an Osmond.
C: Yeah, Michelle Osmond.
J: Yeah, she's my cousin, my dad is Donny.
S and C: What!?!??!?! (And we laughed)
We were both so shocked.

Then we realized why he looked so familiar -
He looks so much like Donny Osmond.

So, pretty much I bought my car from Donny Osmond.

I had really wanted a CD or something. 
Seems natural right?

Well, a few days after I bought my car I found
a CD case and guess what,

There was a Donny Osmond CD!

I contemplated keeping it and sending back the rest
but - I knew it wouldn't feel right about it.
so, I mailed it back.

If you ever want to ride in my car, because I bet Donny Osmond
rode it in at least once or twice, just let me know.
