I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story -

17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way.

After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it...

Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!!

Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin.

BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!!

We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day!

I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!)

Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did!
