Not so fun...

Tiffany was involved in a 3 car accident a few days ago. The person in front of her stopped on the interstate. As a result, Tiff rear ended the car and in turn was rear ended by a car behind her. Tiffany walked away from the accident with some bruises and soreness, but she was ok otherwise. The car, on the other hand, will not survive (It looks pretty bad).

It was very scary when I received the call from her. She had just dropped me off at work and I rushed to the scene with a guy from work. It was terrible getting through the traffic to get to my wife. I felt desperate and helpless. When I got to the scene, I rushed up to Tiff and held her close...

It is times like these that remind me what is important in life.... But I should not wait for times like these. It is scary to think about the accident and see the scene in my head. It is scary to think about what could have happened. The fact remains though- God is in control! He has a reason for this accident. He has a reason for totaling the car that we just bought... The questions should not be, "Why did you do this God?" Instead, the question should be, "How can we use this to glorify God?"

Happenings as of Late

It has been a while since I made a post to the blog... Primarily, there has not been anything exciting to report. That being said, would you like to know what we have been doing?

Well, we traveled up to New York for Thanksgiving. On the way up, we picked up my mom. About 30 miles from my brothers house, our car died... The good news is that we were at the right exit, so we pulled off into a BP station. Upon examination, I discovered that the belt had come off the car. I called my brother and he came to the rescue. When he looked at it, the belt was ok, but the pulley had given up the ghost.

We left the car for the day and enjoyed the rest of Thanksgiving with Mom, my brother and my sister in law. It was a nice day and good to be with family.

The next day, my brother and I traveled back to the car and discovered... Just kidding.. The car was fixed in about 5 minutes. My brothers mechanical skills came to the rescue.

On Friday, Tiffany and I spent some time with a friend of mine from high school. It was great hanging out and catching up on Trumansburg news as of late. It is so much fun getting together with friends... Especially when you have not seen each other in years.

With the cold weather starting in Central Virginia, we are getting excited about our Christmas trip to Arizona. Tiffany's parents moved to Phoenix this year so we decided to have a warm Christmas (Not as warm as last years, but still nice).

Oh yeah... One bit of exciting news is that we had to replace our cell phones last week (They were getting a bit on the old side....). Upon further examination, we discovered that the best deal was the MotoRazr V3M... So, that is what we bought (After rebates, etc. they will wind up being FREE).

Well, I better put my nose back on the grind stone now so I can continue Getting Things Done...
