#7 - Buy A Newer Vehicle

I actually checked this one off way back in August. Deanna went with me to help haggle for my new 2010 Honda CR-V. Thanks, Deanna, for being my photographer! :)

Here it is loaded down for the very first time! I helped Deanna transport all of her new classroom stuff to school.

Right before school started, I drove the Accord home to Mississippi one last time where I sold it to my father.

He was gracious enough to let me have one more moment with my Accord to say goodbye. You were good to me, Accord! I really do miss you!

Yeah, yeah...

I haven't posted in a WHILE! In my defense, though, I have been crossing things off my "26 Things" list. :) I will update about those later in the week. Tomorrow, I will be spending $979 on a root canal at 7:30 in the a.m. This is my plea for your prayers, as I am super nervous.

Please, please, PLEASE pray for me between 7:30 and 11:00 tomorrow! You're the best.

All my love,

Kristy

#15 - Indoor Rock Climbing

 

My former student Jasmine helped me cross this one off my list last week. We went to Exposure Indoor Rock Climbing in Carrollton and had a blast for about two hours! We took turns climbing and belaying, so we were always busy and burning calories. A few websites I checked out claim that you can burn up to 700 calories an hour while rock climbing indoors. We had so much fun! I will definitely be heading back with the roomies - hopefully before school starts! :)
