The adventure continues!

There are so many things that have happened over the last week... it's crazy! Some bad but mostly all good!  :) This post is about to turn into a bullet point post...

• The car search continues! It's been quite exciting for the most part. It's been difficult not having a car, simply because I have always had one. I have become quite the master at "bus hopping." Meaning, I must take multiple busses a day to get to my destination. It's like a race, but no one else knows that it's a race. Needless to say, I win every time :) 
• Highlight of my car search so far: I went to test drive a car with my friend Theresa. We went looking for a car salesman and his name was Duane. He showed me the cars available and asked me why I was looking for one. I proceeded to tell him that I totaled my car and all that jazz. He laughed. Why do you laugh about that? I don't know. Anyway, we get in the car and start driving down the road. He asked me if I'd like to take the car out on the interstate to see if I felt safe, I agreed that it was probably a good idea. So, we head out to the interstate and he says, "yes ma'am, feel free to drive as fast as you'd like, change lanes and even run the car into a ditch to see if it comes out on the other side... just make sure we make it out to the other side." So, most of you are probably thinking, "What a jerk!" In all honesty, I couldn't stop laughing (which isn't necessarily good since I was going 75 down an interstate). Anyway, yeah... Duane the car salesman wins entertainer of the week in the car sales category. Good for you, Duane, good for you. 
• This week, amongst all of my pouting, complaining and feeling sorry for myself, I believe God is teaching me what is truly means to be thankful. I'm not spoiled rotten, but I must say that I had it good growing up. I always had everything that I needed and had many things that I wanted. I got a car before I turned sixteen and then got another one when I turned eighteen. I was grateful for all of those things, but now I have a new appreciation for "conveniences." It is really tough going from having a car since I've been able to drive to unexpectedly not having one at all. I am learning what it's like not to have a car, and I am surviving just fine. Am I looking forward to getting a car? You better believe it. I will be one happy camper, but I am realizing that I can survive without it. I don't "need" all of things that I thought I did. More importantly, I am more grateful for the things that I have than I've ever been. It's been good. 
• MY ROOMMATES GOT INTO NURSING SCHOOL!!! After all of the stress, freaking out and thinking they would not make the cut...they made it! I'm such a proud roomie. We celebrated, we celebrated good. Cookie skillet! Heck yes! :) 
• I saved the most exciting for last. I can't believe it.... I'm now officially in a relationship with the coolest person I know. How awesome is that?! He caught my eye in August of 2009.  I do not know what I have done to get someone so awesome to like me, but I am sure glad it worked! For all of you that know me real well, you know that I always picked on people who were all giggly around a guy they liked and said it was weird. I have a confession: I giggled about it last night. Yes, Sarah Melton giggled like a little school girl.
