New and Improved!

Hey everyone! Here are the pictures of the new car...Remarkably similar to the other one in many ways, but different in many ways too. I think I will name this car Perry because the green with the pink flowered seat covers remind me of a tropical paradise. But tropical paradise is too hard to say, so Perry is better (short for paradise) :)Love and miss you guys! Thank you again for all your prayers...I am really thankful for the dependable new car.

The full shot...it has tires and EVERYTHING!

A close up of the new color...it's green, but has a little gold in it too...

Perry is not just one-dimensional

A few new views...(above and below)

Perry will soon have Colorado license plates... :)

My uncle thinks that these seat covers ruin my new car. I told him it meant my car had great personality...this sets it apart, don't you think?

Stay Tuned....

Well, this post isn't quite as exciting as the last (what with no pictures of damage and destruction) but wanted to update you all on my life in Colorado, such as it is.

First things first...I heard from the insurance company. I'm so thankful, the Lord TOTALLY answered prayer and provided enough from the settlement to pay off my old car (which incidentally cannot be driven any more) and also to put a down payment on a new car.

As of tonight, I have purchased my new car...I surfed the net, did some research over the past week and half, made pro/con lists (ala Gilmore Girls) and thought long and hard about what I wanted my next car to be. I went to many a dealership, and talked with too many salesmen (some slimy and some respectable) and at the end of the whole thing, I walked away with....(ta da) a Saturn Ion. Now, to those of you that feel let down, let me assure you that it is different from my previous car in a few ways. Firstly, it's not wrecked. Secondly, it is a new color (green). Thirdly, it is a 2006. There are other differences too...like OnStar and a place to plug in my ipod. (what will they think of next??) I'm very excited to have it and also have discovered that I really am a Saturn girl.

I went to the choir retreat at my new church last weekend and it went really well. Everyone was so friendly and I met lots of different people and age groups. On Saturday, we convened at the church and went through all the music for the upcoming season (through Christmas). All we did was sight read...it was brutal! I'm looking forward to brushing up on that a bit so my brain isn't mush by the end of practice. :)

On my next post, I will try and put some pictures up of my new car (but not the license plate number, so you can't steal my identity) and also the inside of my new apartment...car shopping and choir retreat/church delayed my unpacking a bit...

Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers and I really miss you guys a ton!!

The Utah Car Extravaganza

The driver's side doors couldn't open at all because they were wedged in the dirt, but Kamden (my passenger) and I were able to get out on the other side with only a few cuts and scratches.

I'm so thankful that nothing happened to Kamden. She made friends with the ambulance medical personnel and they gave her their phone numbers.

I had the fun task of helping the police officer file the report of the accident. He also gave me a ticket for improper lane travel. I couldn't argue with him there...

The tow people came and flipped my car over for me so that we could tow it all the way to Colorado Springs. Believe it or not the car made it all the way here before all tires (except the spare) went completely flat. The Lord completely worked everything out. Everyone commented on the safety features that Saturn has and that it kept it's shape really well.
