out with the old..

a picture can say a thousand words. so here's a picture.




yup, thats the garage at the ol' parent's house. where my car used to rest. it was comfortable there. sheltered from the elements. patiently awaiting any attention i would give it. quiet. when it wasn't boosting around local neighbourhoods and highways. eating honda preludes, g35's and 350z for an evening snack.. or sliding around corners, rain, shine or darkness. clutch kicking, e-braking and playing on the throttle to bring us such amusement. or eagerly waiting for its next mod, hoping to squeak me out a little more horsepower or make it that much more "my car." I built a little drift machine. a road monster. a custom car. a work of art. (in my eyes at least ha!) many fun times were had with the little orange car. the car has come to an end for now, but the fun times will never. and really i don't owe my "fun" or "joy" or anything for that matter, to this world. this world is filled with things, stuff, people, places that are fun, yes. but i owe all that is good to the one that created it and gave his son for me. God. and with out Jesus, there would be nothing.

i see it like this. its all his stuff and things anyways. so he'll do what he wants with it. he blessed me with that car and now its time for it to go. it had a short time and served its purpose. i'm not sad.

i'm excited. cuz i already know what god's blessed me with next. liz.

she's in south carolina right now for her sister's graduation. Laura is a nerse. CONGRATS LAURA! she put in some hard time hittin the books and being away from home for all her schooling. she met her fiance at school too! they're gettin hitched in august i believe.

aaaand yikes. its like 2 weeks and liz and i will be hitched! AWESOME. we got little things to sort out still, but the major things are handled. liz has been so amazing in handling most of the details. she was doing all that and school. she's such a great worker. man i love her to bits.

well. time for me to hit the hay. i've been up since 530, and its 11:11 now. (make a wish) glad i got my car outta the garage tonight tho. it was worth the extra effort.
