Busy busy

Wanted to write a quick note to everyone who keeps up with us.  We have both been so busy with work and other activities that the blogging has fallen through the cracks.  This week we are house sitting so not being at home adds to our hectic schedule.  I will add more next week when things hopefully settle down a bit.

Court (old post from March that I never actually posted)

So unfortunately, I am quite comforatble with City of Atlanta Traffic Court now. I've been to the court house 3 times now. The first time was for a fender bender and I plead No Lo b/c I didn't know what to do. The second time due to a series of uncontrolable events (in the rain) I got another ticket. This time I was confident that I was not at fault, so I plead not guilty. In Atlanta, if you plea not guilty you are giving a second court date to come back and be heard. Today was that day. I got into work at 6:30am to try and get some work done before my court date. This was mostly because last time I was in court at 8am, I just went straight there from home and I was there until almost 11am!! This time I wanted to be able to get in and get some work done, just in case I was gone for 3 hours again.

Anyway, court is always an interesting experience. My second visit I saw 2 people be taken into custody right there in the court room, due to lots of outstanding tickets or getting a bad ticket and lack of a driver's license. Today

There are so many different types of people in court and they all really don't want to be there. I just try and be patient and not nervous, but it's hard. You can tell other people are nervous too.

Celica = hair dryer

So often times I leave the house without drying my hair, the joy of curly hair.  Well one Sunday recently it was cold and I wanted to dry my hair, but didn't have time.  So Brian was driving us to church in his celica and we turned the air on high and closed all the other vents but the 2 in front off me to try.  AND IT TOTALLY WORKED!  I'm sure I looked really funny drying my hair with the vents in his car, but it was successful and i'll probably do it again.  :)

Maybe next time we'll take a picture of it. :)

house hunting...

So Lu and I have been looking for houses, and sunday we spent a good three hours driving around and just looking at some we had found online.  (pictures can lie you know.)  it was a fun afternoon, but we both realize there is a lot left for us to do in order to get ourselves in a position to buy a home.

It is very exciting, but also a lot of work and probably stress eventually related to such a big life/financial decision.  So if you would, keep us in your prayers.

Ice Hockey Saturday

Thanks to Lu saying yes, I was able to attend a fantastic hockey game on saturday night.  I don't normally watch much ice hockey, pro or otherwise, but when our pastor called me up and asked if I wanted to come, I just don't like passing on free tickets, it was a good thing I didn't cause I had a great evening.  I got to hang out with Brad, Larry and Chris at the game while Lu got to hang out with their wives and the babies, fortunately I think this event helped cement the idea that kids for us are still a ways down the road.  

The game was a lot of fun, we were about 8 rows back from the glass, and basically next to the tunnel that the visiting team uses to get to their bench.  really great seats, all the players looked huge and the action was great.  TheThrashers scored 5 goals, basically all in the 3rd period, the first was 34 seconds before the end of the second period, to come from behind and win the game.  It was a lot of fun and it was great to bond with some of the men that are really influencial in my life right now.  I got a few pictures on my phone, however I have no way of posting them so your imagination will just have to do.
