Dateless but Not Desperate

Much to many of our friends and family's disappointment (frustration), we have not picked a date yet. It seems it is a little more tricky than we thought with making sure our family can be there, Jeff's school, thesis, work, and well just life. Funny how hard it is to get 8 people to settle on a date for dinner much less a wedding. Kind of humorous really. Bottom line we will pick a date, that basically works for us. We will do it as soon as we can, and let people know. For now we are still enjoying each other and the thought of being husband and wife. And it hasn't even been a month since we got engaged....so I think we are ok.

Other than that, I came home to a beautiful new camera. Which my poor love..didn't get the response he wanted. It is really hard for me to receive gifts sometimes, especially expensive ones. Anyway I do love my new Canon Rebel XT and can't wait to play with and enjoy taking pictures. Plus now we have a digital camera and can take pictures of where we live and what we are doing.......not to mention show off my ring.

Last night I met Jeff on the Cal Poly vineyard to do a little fishing.......absolutely beautiful. We along with his friend Luke, who reminds me of my sweet brother...Brent Warren, got in a little boat and anchored ourselves out in the pond. We basically caught nothing but baby fish but it was still fun. The colors of the sun setting behind the moutains was beautiful and peaceful. There were even ducks on the pond. However once the sun ducked behind the mountain, this little Texas girl bailed. It was cold.

I wish I could share the beauty here with each one of you. It is amazing how creative God is ...and then to be reminded ..he took so much more delight and care in me. Now that is breathtaking.

Goodbye to Gunner

As you all know, I love Jeeps, and I especially love my jeep. Why? Well its mine and I have had alot of fun in it. One of my most favorite memories, its Camp Jeep. Where in the little town of Clayton, Ok...we Jeepers enjoyed offroading for Jesus. =)Fun how God can use any passion for His glory. I have also had sad times with Gunner. ....like the death of my sister, Kim. Gunner and I drove...went to sonic, went to the lake, worshipped.....and were quiet with just the wind noise....longing to hear a whisper. sigh. It does make my heart a little sad...like its the end of an era......but then again ...I do feel a freedom in answered prayer.

This is a season of work and of being economical and well Gunner doesn't fit that..especially with Gas at 3.09 in Cali. So Gunner has a new owner, Doug, who will give gunner big tires and a lift kit. Not to mention play with him offroad. That makes me happy. As i watched Doug and Gunner drive off.....I was a little sad but peaceful. (I didn't even cry...but maybe its bc I have already morned that Gunner was for sale. ..I had already cried.) That very night, Jeff and I went and got me a wonderful Honda Accord. With great milage and money left over for me to put towards my credit card bill. There is definately freedom in that!!!!!!!!

sigh..I guess really am going to be an "old married woman".....=) ha ha...since I got the 4-door sedan, great gas milage, power windows..and no convertible. Just kidding. duh..I still look hot. =)..I just don't have the "cool car" factor anymore.

Bottom line: Jeff and I feel good about being faithful with not only our tithe but also our cars. God gives us a mind to help us out of trouble....and for us...I love that we are working towards being debt free. That means freedom to "Go" when god says Go! Thank you Jesus for selling my Jeep and for handing us a great car in its place. You have answered our prayers and we give you praise.
