What Size Am I?

We went to whataburger for dinner. If you've been there, you know the drill. You order, they give you a cup, you get your own drink. Well I was doing just that when my dad walked up. I didn't know what size drink I had so I asked my dad, "Dad, what size am I?" Dad looks at me over his shoulder like he's doing an estimate. "I mean...what size drink do I have?" You better believe I corrected myself before he could answer! Ugh, my dad is so.....dad-ish.

Icy roads!!!

Today the roads were very icy! I take three major highways to get to work and all three were pretty bad. My 25-30 minute drive took a little over an hour. I saw several people that slid off to the guardrail and were waiting for help. It can get pretty scary, especially when the crazies out there think that ice is no big deal and are speeding all over the place. I think that tomorrow morning won't be as bad.....hopefully.

I took this pic while driving to work...JUST KIDDING!

HELLO WORLD!!!

ahhh! it's been a while hasn't it? well alot has probably happened, so i won't try to recap, but sunday night i flew back from a weekend of being in corpus. it was a lot of fun hanging out with aaron, his parents, and his church family. they've already got a class lined up for me! (and no uncle benjy it's not for the WM's!) Aaron translated the pastors sermon from Spanish to English in the morning service for the first time ever. He did a very good job if i do say so myself! Last time i was there was the Sunday after Christmas when they announced that Aaron and I were engaged. After the service Aaron had me stand at the door along with him, the senior pastor and his wife and the youth pastor. I was kinda hoping that i wouldn't have to do it again because 1. we're not married yet and 2. it's so awkward for me. So after the announcements, the pastor asked someone to dismiss. I knew that once that person started praying, that the pastors would start walking to the back. Aaron was standing on my left. As soon as the prayer started, I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't make eye contact with him. I tried to furrow my brow to look like i was praying intently. Then i felt Aaron lean in and heard him say , 'come on, lets go'. I said, without opening my eyes or lifted my head, "me?" Aaron said, "yes". I said, "right now?" Aaron smiled and said yes. it was so aaawwwkward. people were smiling at me like, "who in the world are you?" one lady said, "pastor, es dis jur wief?"

oh me, oh my. at least he took me to eat at La Playa.
