ok so i got in a wreck on thursday. (pictures to follow  on my next post after my husband downloads them  on to the computer) it was the first real "snow" of the season. It hadn't been sticking all day so when 5 PM came around I wasn't too concerned about driving in it. I should have been just because I am COMPLETELY inexperienced in the art of driving in the snow and ice. ahem I'm from the SOUTH!!! i like the south. it's warm...and even when it's not all that warm you never have to worry about stinkin "black ice" on the road. So anyway, I started on my way home from work being Oh so careful because as soon as i got on the road i realized that I was deceived...it had stuck and frozen over. I saw a red light up ahead so i touched my breaks to slow down and nothing happened. i pushed a little harder. nothing happened i just kept going along. i pumped my brakes. NOTHING HAPPENED!! i just kept going forward like brakes hadn't ever been invented and placed in my car. so then i realized that if i didn't stop soon i was going to hit the SUV in front of me...since my breaks weren't working i decided to try the whole "getting off the road thing" i turned my wheel to the right and i just started sliding faster...anyways to ruin this "climatic moment" I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME! it was awful. BUT! GOd is so good...the SUV had practically no damage...unlike my car whose hood looked like a half squished accordian. NOT FUN. anyways the SUV driver left and i waited in the freezing cold for almost an hour while dean drove to pick me up...the ice and snow was so bad that dean got stuck on the way for about ten minutes because his car couldn't get any traction.

so now we're making do with one car until we figure out what to do. Dean was so wonderful about it though. he took me to work on friday and picked my up and took me home so very sweetly. please keep us in your prayers that God will give us wisdom in figuring out what He will have us to do in this situation.

anyways, other than that awful yucky evening i am thoroughly enjoying being married to dean. We're going to cali to visit his family for Christmas (and eat some absolutely phenominal food)..we are also having a second "reception" so to speak. for  all the people who couldn't make it out to NC  for the wedding. i'm excited but i will miss seeing my family for Christmas.

here are a couple pics from our thanksgiving visit to my fams house.

saying goodbye

  I have a job at Harris Law Offices now. Dean and i are starting to "settle into the married life" i don't really know what that's supposed to be like but it's wonderful to me. I married the most wonderful man I have ever met and I can say that cause I've been married for two WHOLE months!!! I love him.

Work is so much fun, but my boss can be not so nice sometimes. God is teaching me so much about being content with what he has given me. (having a low budget really helps move the lessons along.

Dean started a new job just recently. He is now a Theuraputic Staff Specialist working for a program called Youth Advocate Program, Inc. I think he enjoys it though it takes alot of creativity to try to find ways to do his job best. He works hard and is a wonderful husband. I just can't believe that time is going by so quickly. here is another picture from the wedding.
