VDub Luv...The Story of Our Bus!

So I have this adorable little story about two little love birds and a VW Bus! It all started with a storage unit...Shane has had his eye on this but forEVER! We would drive by this storage unit and there would be that cute little bus just waiting patiently for us to become it's owner! Shane would call seriously like every week to try and figure out if the owner would sell it. Every time he would call the people in charge of the storage unit would tell him it's not for sale and the owner wasn't interested. However, that didn't stop Shane (gotta love his persistence). The last time he called the storage unit he got a sweet lady, he explained to her that we would love to own this bus and use it to drive away in on our wedding day. He explained to her that we wanted to restore it and keep it forever. She gave in and told him she would call the owner of the bus. The owner called Shane and it was a DONE DEAL! Finally! He was going to be able to get the bus he has had a crush on for so many years! However, that is not what Shane told me...he told me the owner called and said he wasn't interested in selling it ever. I was bummed! I mostly felt bad for him because he had tried so hard to get it!

 A couple weeks later he told me he had a surprise for me! I don't know about you but I LOVE surprises! It could be a mud pie and I would still be so happy just cus it was a surprise! So...I was going through my whole day trying to figure out what the heck it could be! He tried to lead me on that it was a puppy...which would have been awesome! Buuuut since he was making that so obvious I knew it couldn't be that. I was seriously clueless! So we drove to his moms house and he made me wait outside while he went into the garage...haha he even made puppy noises while he was in there...such a dork! When he opened the garage I was in shock! There it sat...our newly purchased 1962, 15 window Volkswagen Bus! I was in love. She needs some work but seriously it nothing compared to what most VW Busses look like when they are getting restored!

The day Shane surprised me!
Full view of The Bus!! Isn't she a beauty?!
Bus and sunset at the gym! Haha its like our child with how many photos we have!

So now we have an AWESOME 15 window VW bus! :) Some people don't really understand how awesome it is to have one...and other people are just as excited as we are! The best part about owning a bus is all of the nice and genuine people you attract! The VW community is so wonderful! Everyone is so helpful to share where we can get the best deals for parts and body work. I just love it! It is a whole other world of even more positivity! I will keep all of you updated on the progress of our wonderful project! It is going to be so amazing I can hardly wait! Shane is extremely attached to this bus and has a baaaad case of VW Bus obsession! One of my favorite things about these busses are the Ads! They make me laugh! Check some of them out!
haha...hilarious right? Folks...Volks? haha

So true though...
I just love it!

So that is my VW Bus story! We are officially obsessed! What are your guys favorite obsessions? Please feel free to leave comments! I love them!
