The issues of life, cars, school, traffic, etc.

This has been one of those days (This week doesn't look too good either). I wish I could have posted yesterday. Then again, maybe not. I don't think anyone would've wanted to read it. I was crying buckets.

I have not being feeling too well lately. Of course, it's close to the month time (pms) so I am imaging all kinds of things. Pregnant?????!!!!!!!!!!............ I don't know yet. The funny thing is that I seem to have this problem a lot. Maybe because I want to be pregnant. Hmmmm. Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself. I didn't know how I was going to make it to class either. I was feeling sick and I was emotional. I hate that. I just can't seem to help it though. The tears just keep coming. I know, you're probably thinking "Get a life for goodness sakes." I'm trying, but I just don't know how. I've got some issues.

David is getting paid through the navy to go to school and right now it seems impossible for both of us to go to school and get degrees (or whatever we are going to do). I just can't see the big picture. I want to see the picture but there seems to be some things in the way.

Today, David realized that he needed a smog check on his car. (Big problem!) Anyway, I (David is working at home, so he asked me to do this favor :) went to take it to one of those smog check places. About a half an hour later, they guy told me that the computer in the car(what?) has a problem and that made it so the car didn't pass. So now what? I called David and told him the bad news. So we ended up leaving it there for them to repair the problem. And hopefully tomorrow sometime it will pass the test. The picture above is what his car engine looks like. (Hope you can see it ok.) Anyway, it is a complicated engine and it tends to be expensive whenever it needs to be fixed.

It's a little upsetting because we always take it for granted that we have 2 cars. I especially have a hard time adjusting to things like this. Like tomorrow, I have to take David to school(for his classes) and basically stay there until after my class gets out at 1:30pm. Bummer. Please help me God.
I thought I could just drop him off in the morning but, the traffic is so bad on I 5(Interstate 5) it would be pointless to drop him off and then turn around and come back about 2 hours later. Oh, and parking at school is the pits.

Does anybody have any thing to input? I like getting comments. :-)

You are an amazing God

I had a wonderful thing happen today. I have been feeling really depressed lately. Especially since the beginning of November when I was notified that my job would be ending.

Anyway, I have been moody and just not a happy person. I have almost forgot what it's like to laugh and have a good time.

Yesterday I was feeling sorry for myself. I think I have too much down time on my hands.
Is that possible?
After I was done eating some breakfast, I got a call from a friend who I have met at our church about 3 months ago. I am so blessed to have a friend like her. Here I was thinking about what a pathetic person I was, when she called.
I haven't seen her in a while because David and I were out of town and both of our schedules were off and made it hard to coordinate. So I was surprised and pleased to get a call from her today.

Basically she was saying that other people feel the same way that I do from time to time. I am not alone. She also said that I was going to bless some people tomorrow. At that moment, I knew that the Lord wanted her to call me. I was just praying last night and crying about not being able to bless people and feeling so down about everything. It is so amazing that the God would do that.

The Lord really knows just what we need. They strange thing was that I didn't think that the Lord was listening to me. I felt as though my prayers were just hitting the ceiling. Even though your prayers feel empty and like they are hitting the ceiling, they are not. God always hears them. :-)

Christmas '05 in Northern California-That's Eureka, CA

This is a picture of me and you know who (David, my wonderful husband of 3 years). Isn't this a nice picture? It is in front of my parents house in Eureka. "Where is Eureka?"you ask. Well, it's a place on the map. Although most people don't know that it's part of California. They seem to think that the bay area is Nothern California. Then they ask if Eureka is near San Francisco. "No, it's about 5 1/2 hours north of that." It seems like people have no clue........ as if San Francisco is as far north as you can go.

I still have feelings for my hometown. But there are some things about this town that are very unique. Here is a list of what makes it unique:

1. No Walmart.
2. No In-N-Out burger
3. No iceskating rink
4. 1 shopping mall (1 story, no escalators or stairs)
5. It rains year around and has lots of fog( aka: marine layer of gunk in the sky that doesn't go away)

Perhaps these things are not what makes it unique. It seems that these are negative features that Eureka has (or doesn't have). I don't know. Maybe I'm just spoiled because Southern California has just about everything.

If you ever want to drive up there, you will want to be prepared. The drive is quite long. Approximately 12 hours. I have found that is much better to fly. Especially since there are direct 2 hour flights from LAX to Eureka. Cool! Yeah, it's kinda nice. Also, when you are there, bring things to do. Unless, ofcourse you like to drive around and sightsee.
