The Night of 4 Strikes

Today, I changed the oil in my car. Logan helped, because I wouldn't do it by myself the first time. But, we got in there and changed it and filled up the washer fluid, put the plates on, and we got my car done! I am so happy. I know it sounds like I am 16 with my first car, but 5 months of being without a working car and the miracles that happened to put me where I am now, led me to this. I am so grateful that Logan knows about cars and has been able to impart his knowledge of them to me. Before I know it, I will be changing the oil all by myself. I want to know as much as I can about my car and how to do the basic maintenance on it. One, so that I know it better and two, I think it is a good thing to know about your car. I oddly liked getting under the hood and doing the little things. Getting all greasy...don't worry though, I'll leave the big stuff up to the real mechanics.

I went bowling this evening with Tricia and Logan, man I love bowling! The first game was awesome, I beat both Tricia and Logan and had 4 strikes! The second game wasn't as great for me, a couple spares and no strikes and Logan beat me. But it was fun and I even got to bust a move in the lanes.

I know I have said it a lot lately but I am so grateful for all I have been blessed with lately. I have been given so much. I am so grateful for all those who have helped make my life so full and have been the hands of the Lord in my life. I am more blessed than I can begin to tell you. I just want to express my gratitude for prayers, good thoughts and help I have been given by those around me who love me so much. I know I am loved and I know how important I am in the lives of the those people. I am grateful for shoulders to cry on, words of comfort and arms wrapped around me. I am so blessed and I couldn't ask for more.

You're on a roll with the good stuff!!

I'm very impressed with your dedication to learn how to take care of your car's basic needs. I think I'm too lazy for that. Plus, Kev and my brother are both car guys.
