Goodbye

* EDIT - We ended up being able to fix my car YAY :)

I didn't wake up this morning knowing I would have to say goodbye to Howard, my first car and my car of 3 years.

I was surprised by how much snow we got last night and before exiting onto the main road, I told myself to be extra careful, since I haven't driven in snow in many months. I made it almost to work, then when I tried to turn into the drive, I kept going straight and ran into the curb.

By hitting the curb I pushed in my axle, so my tire is now touching the car, the rim is smashed, and the break line is bent. My Grandpa thinks it will cost over $1000 to fix, which is more than the car is worth, so it's totaled.

I'm not sure why is was so emotional, but I broke down and bawled my eyes out, knowing that I would have to say goodbye and junk him out for $150.

I don't know what I'm going to do, buying a car this close to a wedding and getting an apartment isn't going to be easy at all, but I know my God will provide, and it's going to be ok.




I will add more pics later.

I voted! :)



I voted for the first time today :) I went at about 10:30 which I think was really smart, there was no line at all! I voted for John McCain, actually a straight republican ticket, and No on proposal 1 and 2. I had no idea who the judges were so didn't do that :P The chances don't look good for McCain :( But I'm trusting in God that He has a plan and a purpose for everything. I did my part and I prayed, and that's about all I can do. I'm honestly a little afraid of having Obama run our country, with his lack of background in politics and the charisma he has that woes people in an almost Anti-Christ way. I'm not saying he is, but he's definitely a suspect in my book. Anyways, I'm hoping the best for our nation, GOD BLESS AMERICA!
