I have a car now!

The day after Christmas I went to the house of a couple from my church that are leaving to be missoinaries in Papau New Guinea (actually, assuming they got their VISA in time, they left New Year's Day).

Leaving the house, I was in my very own car. But I wasn't driving yet. I rode to th DMV and we registered the car in my name. Then I drove Mr. Man back to his house and dropped him off there and drove home.

When I got home, I put my suitcase in my car and immediately left for FL.

I drove for 11 hours straight 'till I arrived in St. Augustine at almost 1 am. I slept in the car that night (not the smartest thing I've ever done) and woke up a few times during the night to see my breathe when I took the sheet off my head. (I was very bundled up under my sheet.. problem was there was no blanket or other stuff over my sheet.)

The following morning, having attempted to call a friend in St. Augustine to have lunch but having not been able to reach her, I drove four hours to South FL.

I stayed there 'till the third, when I went to my granfather's house in central FL for dinner and to spend the night. Then I went to the next town over to stay with my former youth leaders at the house they're fixing up to move into when they retire and/or to sell for a decent profit over what they bought it for and thus to have retirement money. Then I drove up to NC where I spent last nite and planned on driving home today, but decided the roads were too icy for me to drive safely enough, so I'm going to wait 'till tomorrow when the roads will be even more dangerous but at least there'll be sunlight.
