walking

last weekend jimmy had an unfortunate run-in with the broken base of a lamp post in a parking lot. since i don't have my own car, and jimmy drives us both wherever we need to go, that means we were carless for a week. we walked a lot more than normal. i took the bus and the train to places i've never gone before. it was actually a really good week. it reminded me of being carless in mongolia and having to rely on my own two legs or public transportation to get around. there is a feeling of satisfaction that i savor when i haven't driven myself to my destination. he and i have both decided we need to walk more even when we get his car back. we'll start by walking to work in the mornings and then see where it takes us. :)

I just realized you were blogging again! Cool! And I just realized I can "follow" you so I will actually see when you post. Yay! I just started blogging again too...b/c I want to be able to also engage in my day and be able to look back a long time from now and be reminded of all of the things in life. Hope you keep it up!

Hey Manda,
Don't know if you remember me or not... met you a while back at The Church at Well where Joey and Kim were attending. Anyway, your picture has been on our fridge ever since and I've been praying for you, so I just thought I'd check in on you. Congrats on your engagement and I'm glad you are safe and sound... may God continue to use you and bless you!! :)
