Cars... Marketing... Satan.

If you remember... I was having a hard time figuring out what car to get... options from $10k used honda to a $28k entry level luxury car.  I finally decided to save $300 a month until my car dies.  Try to be a little more responsible practical, not bow down to the desires implanted by expert marketers and human nature.  I felt good about it.   Today driving to the Dilly Deli for some coffee and granola on a one way street, I try to do a Uturn in the middle of the street. I was approaching a cop who had blocked the road off for some sort of organized run.  The poor little Honda has a terrible turning radius for such a small car... My passenger side front tire caught the small bump of a curb on the First Baptist Church's drive in... 45 seconds later, my car sounded and felt as if it was running on 2 cylendars.  WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!

I've been married 2 years!

For our second year anniversary, we had a little get away. It was awesome. Our cabin was very modern, and over looked a steep drop off to a river valley, nothing but trees, water, blue sky! No television led us to spend great quality time just hanging out. Did I mention perfect weather? We just sat in the rocking chairs staring out at God's creation for 5 straight hours. 2 years has gone by fast. We look forward to the future years together. You know... people say the first year is the harest. Not true. It may be for some, but it all depends on life circumstances. Ours was a breeze. But year two was hard, just with the health issues. I guess most people I had married soon out of college and were in a transition in life, making it hard. We were both independent self-sustained individuals... not young "college kids". David
