After not being able to find the POST OFFICE today, I've decided that's it, I'm getting GPS. It'll cost me $10.00 a month plus air time on my cell phone, but I don't care; I'm sure I spend at least that much on gas while driving up and down the foothills of the Rocky Mountains trying to figure out where I am. The other night, while I was lost, I realized that I was in the mountains and I thought to myself, Why am I in the mountains. I live east of the mountains, not in the mountains. Why am I in the mountains? Plus, my car is acting up and is getting close to overheating on a regular basis. Eric says there is oil in my coolant system, which he says is really weird since there's not coolant in my oil. But that's apparently good, for if there was coolant in my oil that would mean there's a head gasket problem (whatever that is) and that kind of problem costs several hundreds of dollars to fix. So, let's just hope the WalMart guy accidentally got some oil in my coolant and all it needs is a flush. Here's to the adventure of waiting on the Lord for finances. (I still think $10.00 a month over the summer for GPS is a good investment though.)
Meanwhile, it's been a pretty good week here. It's hot, but not unbearable, and elk, moose, and prairie dogs are exciting diversions for an Illinois girl. I'm searching for a place to do my work when I don't have to go into city office, and I have not yet found it. I think the best place I've found so far is Panera, though when I walked in today looking for that perfect nook, table by table looked up and stared, I mean stared, at me as I walked by. And then once I was outside the restaurant an angry goose came out of nowhere and raised its wings up at me, squawking at me and drawing the entire parking lot's attention. As far as I know, there was no toilet paper streaming out of my pants or blood pouring out of my nose.
Bri and Jared are getting married in an hour and a half, and I'm so sad that I'm not there right now. A few years ago when I first heard Bri had a boyfriend, I disliked him immediately because I knew no guy could ever deserve Bri and I was sure he did not appreciate her for all that she was. I was wrong, though. The first time I met Jared I realized that he was probably the only guy in the world worthy of her and possessing the mind and heart to treat her as she deserved. They've waited a long time for this day, and I rejoice for them even though I can't be there. Their exchanging of vows is going to be one of the most beautiful moments in the world today.
