As We Settled In The Stickers Collected....

So the last two months of our lives we have moved into a new home and the GTI needed a little maintenance.... The GTI is once again running smooth and we finally had the time to put our collection of stickers on the car that have been building up since we have been packing, moving and unpacking :)

Here is a updated photo of the back of the VW.


On the far left you will see a "Munchen" sticker which was sent to us from our friends J&S who attended Oktoberfest 2007. They wrote "S&I were in Munich, Germany for the opening ceremony of the 2007 Oktoberfest - it was absolutely amazing and I think I'm still drunk! (ok, she wrote this a long time ago, so she is probably not still drunk :)). S said if we go back next year he'll wear Lederhosen and I get a "Heidi" dress.... another reason to put off trying for kids - LOL :)"

Thank You SO Much J&S, we are sorry it took so long to post this and put your sticker on the VW, but we love it and love the addition. We are very thankful you thought of us and sent the sticker - Thank You Again and keep 'em coming! Looking forward to seeing you the next time you are in the states :)

In the back window you will see a "Sierra Club" sticker which L's friend/coworker gave us. This sticker falls right in line with our love for outdoor activities. Thank You M!

Here is a photo of the drivers side of the GTI...
We have three stickers from M&D here ("UK", "T" and "I brake for Moose"). The note says "Here are more stickers from D's travels. The "T" is from the University of Tennessee and the "UK" is from the state of South Carolina. The "Moose" one I got in honor of your sighting during your last camping trip. Enjoy!"

Thank You SO Much M&D, we love the stickers and all the places they are from. The moose we saw camping this summer was HUGE and to have a sticker in honor of that sighting is very appropriate - never have I seen a wild animal that large! Keep Picking up those Stickers while you travel D, we love them!

The "Italia" sticker came from M. M has been cutting my hair for about eight or nine years. He gets to see the GTI every four to six weeks. His mother-in-law went to Italy so he asked her to bring back a sticker. The story he told me was that the sticker was the first thing he asked for when she got off the plane :) Thank You M, we completely appreciate this and look forward to more additions from you in the future! See you soon :)

The "Chincoteague Island, VA" Sticker came from a very special college girlfriend of mine K and her wonderful husband J. They are expecting twins in the new year (YEAH!) and wrote "We picked this up a couple of weeks ago during a short getaway to Chincoteague Island. Chincoteague and neighboring Assateague Isand are kind of famous for their wild ponies. Once a year the Assateague ponies are rounded up and are swum across to Chincoteague, where they are auctioned off to benefit the Chincoteague Fire Department. You may be familiar with this from the children's book Misty of Chincoteague. We weren't there for the pony swim, but we did see plenty of ponies during our trip. The islands are very nice and we had a good time!"

Thank You SO Much J&K! I heard how you sent this sticker three times and it kept getting returned to you - what's up with that?!?!?!?! Well, I am THRILLED we finally got it and even happier it is now on the GTI! Please continue to send stickers and tell stories... we LOVE it!!!! Thank You Again - Chat Very Soon :) :)

Here are some close up's of the stickers on the drivers side:




















Now the sticker in the photo below of the tree and moon I do not know who gave it to us or where it is from... a side effect from our move I guess :) If you are checking out our blog and sent this to us please let me know who you are and the story behind the sticker... The sticker is very nice and we like it tons we just want to share the story and thank the sender - help :) :) :)WOW, that was a lot! Well, now that we are settled into our new home the blog will be updated more frequently. We still have a lot of space on the GTI to fill up so KEEP SENDING STICKERS! Thanks Everyone :)
