The time is finally here. Rachel is in labor and Allen is with my parents, and all the aunts and uncles over in that neck of the woods.
We are told the baby is in a good position, as opposed to Allen (he was posterior). Every thing looks good at this point, and we give God the praise for it.
I borrowed my sister’s D80 so I should be able to get some good pictures! 
I plan to post an update with pictures here when the baby is born. Stay tuned…
I can’t remember the last time I actually waited as long as possible to get gas because I knew it was only going to get cheaper.
So far, I’m having a hard time feeling bad about this economic downturn…
I’m not sure how this will work having never posted a picture from iBlogger...
I’m audio mixing this project at the moment.
On edit: it made the pic smaller than I would have liked… Oh well.
Yep!
My new car (55,000 miles), decides it cannot strike at my finances mechanically, it being so new and all. So it went and found probably the only rock flying around on the Interstate and ran right into it.
Little rock at 70 mph equals cracked windshield.
I didn’t actually get a picture of it after it spread, but I did get initial pics:
That cost me $250.00 to get the windshield replaced.
Fun times!
About the van… yeah… well…
The van started missing really badly… I mean really badly! We took it in to the shop, and to make a long story short, the cost of fixing the van was going to be upward of $1500.00. Not the kind of money we wanted to sink into a vehicle with 250,000 miles on it.
Enter the new car. It’s a 2003 Mazda Protegé. We didn’t really need a mini van anyway at this point in our lives. We figure by the time our family grows large enough for a mini van (if the Lord blesses us) it will be time to trade my Escort in…
Here’s the new car:
I suppose this is an easy one for me to do since I really hate McDonalds food anyway and already mostly avoided it.
I know we have to pick our battles, but it looks like this boycott is gaining momentum…

I realize that probably every major food chain has some problem or other but maybe this will send a message, and McDonalds is being very open and flaunting this one right in our faces.
