Everybody Say Yay

Dave finally got his license. Yay for him. Now I don't have to drive everywhere. Woot woot. In other car news, we have to replace ALL of our lights. Let's see. Two headlights, two front side lights, two front blinkers, two tail lights, two brake lights, one high brake light, two rear side lights, and two rear blinkers. That's a lot of lights. Who knew there were so many darn lights on a car. Then there are the other ones that I'm not replacing such as the dome light, license plate light, and glove compartment light.

Vista

Seriously, who thought Vista was a good idea? I'm sorry, it's not making me happy right now. It won't play my Sims 2 properly. I spent good money on this computer and Sims, and it won't play it. I found out that a lot of people are having the same problem I'm having. Plus, none of the solutions you can find online work for me. Now I'm stuck. Dh isn't starting work until Saturday, and it's going to take forever to save up to get something else. It just makes me mad because we've spent soooooooooooo much money on these things. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We're going to save up for a Mac, though. It's too hard to find a computer without Vista. And, Sims 3 is coming out sometime this year. As such, I will not buy a Mac version until that one comes out.

Giveaway

Here's a giveaway for a Smart Shopper. It's just about closed, though. Oh yay, the link thing that thursdayschild told me worked. Thanks.

Some Family Pictures

Here are some pictures of my family. They are all a little old.



1. My favorite person besides Dave. I love my niece. This was her fourth birthday party in August. She was really excited to get her pages I hear. Methinks she is going to be a nerd as I.
2. My sister, mom, and me. My other sister wasn't there. This one is recent. It's from October.
3.This was Thanksgiving last year. It's how Christmas normally is for my family. Earlier there were more people, but they left before the picture. I believe nine people left before the picture.

Applying for Job Manana

So, the county is hiring seven clerks. No experience is required, so I'm going to apply manana. I have a few months of experience in office and type way above the required speed. That makes me hopeful. This job would be perfect for us. It would allow us to get an apartment. I would be able to get some dresses, skirts, and headcoverings. I would also be able to get the oh so important right now thermal underwear. We would have enough money for Dave to take some classes this semester. The few of you who read this, please pray that I get this job. Thank you guys. It's almost the day of the birth of Jesus.


Oh yes, Ginger already knows this, but Dave and I are going to go to a Conservative Mennonite church sometime. It's only an hour and a half away. I'm so excited. I've always wanted to go to one. We'll see how Dave does with it. I'm not sure how he's going to do because it's quite different from a Catholic Mass.

Skirts In Winter

So I took the plunge and for the last few days have been wearing skirts. I am currently wearing jeans under them, though, because I don't have the money to buy something else for the time being. It is quite warm this way. Just the extra layer of the skirt helps a ton. I'm going to keep wearing them this way until I cam get some money to get some other things to go under them.

Us

I thought I'd share a recent picture of Dave and me. It was taken in October when we went back to California for his immigration interview. My mom has a friend who is a professional photographer, and she took pictures of my mom, my middle sister, Dave, and me. My oldest sister and niece were supposed to be there, but somehow my niece has a black eye and huge scratch under her other eye.
