Well, in one day my whole life has been turned upside down. The Lord had His hand in this, I know, but I still feel a little blindsided. Stoker's Jeep (grand cherokee) is being sold. We have some guys that are suppose to be picking it up, however it's on a first come, first serve basis. So first person with cash in hand gets the old goat. I have a lot of fond memories in that jeep. We were cleaning it out yesterday and a wave of emotion caught me off guard. This is the first big sell of our life together. I know, getting sentimental over a hunk of metal that has been sitting in our parking lot since Novemeber is silly. But this Jeep has been so good to us. It took us on many trips, and it was a great vehicle for after the c-section and needing something easy to get the baby out of. And Stoker and I use to ride around the 'backroads' of Alabama and Florida just cruising along. One time we got some ice cream, and Stoker had just commented on how he hadn't gotten any on his shirt as he went to take the last bite. And of course it fell on his shirt! (He's notorious for food on the clothing). Not to mention just the realization that I am old enough and responsible enough to be part of the selling of a vehicle. And the civic will be paid off in September, so another huge milestone! It seems like for so long the 'unknown' has plagued us. School, our family, our future. And now final decisions are being made, not life-altering but still big decisions. Isn't it odd how something as simple as selling a car can make you into a philosopher! =0) Well, and secondly..... I think I am going to cry as I type this. i actually found not one- but TWO gray hairs today. I mean, just right on top of my head! GRAY HAIR, I know I have been through quite a bit the last year or so, but now!?!? I'm 24?? Is this legal!!?? Well, Stoker said they are probably just strays because of the texture.... so I'll CHOOSE to believe him for now... untill they come back.... EEEEK. Anyone know of a good hairstylist??? Well, I know these are minor growing pains! The Lord has so graciously moved our family forward with all of these things, and our bodies are just vessels in this world. They are as weak as we are when without Christ. I praise Him that He hath granted me much forgiveness and grace, I humbly and fallibly walk before Him knowing that if it weren't for His blood on that cross then I would be left to perish with my body. So, here's to moving forward and looking back! One day this will hardly be a memory!! =0) This link should take you to some photos! Not the most current, but pretty close! http://photosmart.hpphoto.com/FilmStripHome.aspx?JobID=0f93e581-d3b2-40b6-ba02-b9817f420313&SKU=HP |
