Summer Fun on the east coast

This Summer David and I celebrated our Dallas wedding in Georgia. We drove to Ga and had a reception at my parent's house. It was so great to see friends and family! We made our way to Tybee, Savannah, and Charleston while we were at it.

New Apartment

Since we're playing catch up, I'll now introduce you to our apartment. We live in campus housing on the campus of Dallas Theological Seminary. It's a great apartment complex servicing married couples and families.

Well, it has been almost 2 years and I have not updated! Some folks were faithful little followers of my attempt to "blog." I've decided to give it another try. The semester starts next week so I guess we'll see how this goes!

First of all, I'm fine from my car accident. That little car is long gone in the junk yard. We are now proud owners of a 2005 Nissan Sentra. I say "we" because the most exciting thing that's happened since moving to Dallas, which is way better than a car accident, is that I got married in January! I will attempt to do a quick walk through of the past months for those of you who are interested!

Well, I'm going to have to skip the dating pictures as it seems David has them all on his computer. I'll just get right to it then, 5 months or so after a surprise proposal on the top of the Westin Hotel in downtown Atlanta, David and I got married on January 3 in Dallas.

Car accident

I was in a car accident on Tuesday night.

I was driving in downtown Dallas in my car when I exited the freeway and came to a stop at a traffic light. I was the first one on the line (fortunately and no so fortunately) when (I think) an SUV plowed right into the back of me. The force pushed me out into the middle of the intersection which was four lanes of traffic going in both directions (so 8 total). My car spun around and finally came to a stop. I will tell you that it scared me b/c as it pushed me into the traffic I remember grabbing the wheel and thinking 'this is it' because I just knew someone would hit me from the side. Thank God that no one did because at this point the light was red at all intersections. So, it was a hit and run because the driver just plowed into me and kept on going. Praise the Lord that I have sustained no real injuries. I think I was the pivotal point in a centrifical (sp) force so as the car spun it kept me from hitting the steering wheel or any glass w/ my head. I totally walked away and I have some sore neck and back muscles but I went to the doctor and he explained all the soreness and strain was from the impact, etc. So, I am OK! I do not have a car and I cannot finance one right now. That is the only bad part. I paid for that car in full with my savings...yes it was THAT cheap, it was a 1989 Honda! My parents and boyfriend insist that I get a newer car. So, I'm trying to figure out my finances so I can do that. Grad school is hard on the wallet! (:

Please join me in praying for the Lord's provision. I know he has a plan for me and the car etc. For now I am well taken care of with transportation because no one has classes this week. But, I'm on the hunt. So, if anyone has any good leads on a car let me know.

Swing Dancing

You can't beat a fun evening of cuttin' a rug! I love to dance and we had a great time at this center in Dallas. I think it's a type of community center. It was a great way to spend a Saturday night!

Two week break!

So, the great thing about this school is that we get a full week off of classes for a "Reading Week" where we should be using the time to accomplish reading a lot of the books we've been assigned. Then we get a full week off for Thanksgiving! Yay!! So, today marks my first official day of the break. I intend to do A LOT of school work. But, that's what I'm here for right?

On a side note: The high in Dallas today is 81 degrees my friends! Can you believe it? 81!! Good grief. I guess we'll see if it gets that hot or not. I am however wearing sandals today. I can't believe it's breaking into mid-November. I hope where ever you are you are enjoying your weather. If you're a GA friend, I'm praying for you. I know you need some rain.

Retraction

An informed Texan corrected my blog! (; Big Tex is in fact not blow up. He is evidently a permanent structure. At any rate he is not blow up. I certainly want to give Big Tex the full credit he deserves. See...there's so much to learn about Texas.
