I was tagged by Jennifer Partin at Where the Heart Is to share 8 random things about me. So here are some things about me that all have to do with vehicles (i don't know why, it just kinda worked out that way).
1. I got my drivers permit on 6/7/89.
2. I bought my first car when I was 15, and paid insurance on it for 4 months before I could drive it.
3. It was a 4 door, red with white strip, 65 Ford Falcon.
4. The car belonged to a good friend. I called him the moment I saw him in something else.
He had a banner in the back with his nick name, "CANMAN", when I bought the car his mom made me a banner for the back that said, "NEICIE."
5. I got my license on Valentine's Day. That morning my mom (who was at work) phoned me and said, "Denise what does red and white make?" I thought she had gotten me a cool V-day gift and was so excited, till she said again, "what does red and white make?" I said, "you hit my car?" She replied, "I hit your car."
6. I hit a car 2 weeks after I got my license, while shang hi-ing a friend on his b-day
(we'd get a friend out of bed super early, dress them ridiculously, take them to b-fast, and make them dress that way for school all day).
7. I got a speeding ticket the day I was baptized. I got the ticket in front of Jones ave. (it was a sign, literally and figuratively). I cried! Thinking, 'you can't give me a ticket , I am white as snow.'
8. I have owned a car from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90, and 2000's. One of those cars had a working 8 track. Yep, and now I reluctantly drive a mini van.

Wide Open Graces
"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine
Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning.

"So here's what I want you to do,
God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life -
your sleeping, eating, going-to-work,
and walking-around life -
and place it before God as an offering.
Embracing what God does for you
is the best thing you can do for him."

I loved it! Too funny.
I loved the "What does red and white make?" What a great memory to cherish.
And a working 8 track? Who knew they had those in cars. :)
Thanks for playing---I enjoyed learning more about you friend.
That was quite a meme!!! A meme with a theme!
I don't think I'd ask you to carpool. ;) ha, ha.
Don't you feel safe and mature now with your minivan? Well, you are 34 now, you know.
I love mine - as a friend of mine said once, "I'm a mini-drivin' fool!" ;)
I am impressed you remember the exact date you received your driver's permit.
Fun Meme!
This was fun!! They sound like some sweet memories...and what a great memory you have!!
Thanks for sharing more about yourself. Neicie! (I love nicknames!)
That was fun to read about you!! I too drive a mini-van & actually love it. Maybe someday you might come to love yours too???
Super cute! Ahh, first cars. Mine was a Hyundai - a crappy one. They are much better now. But not that one. =)
