I got my car!! Oh yes, its true, I got my dream car!!! I am the proud owner of a 2004 Honda Accord EX-L coupe, satin silver metallic exterior black leather interior with all the extras I could ever want. Its soooo beautiful, and I am in awe that she's mine, everyday I wake up and I think it must be a dream, and it is, its a dream come true. Yay!!!!!
Last year I test drove this car, of course it was the 2003 model, and I fell in love. I vowed that I would work my ass off for the next year and save money for a down payment, I would up my income, and I would increase my already pretty good credit score, so I would be able to own this car by the end of this summer. I DID IT!!!!!! My credit score is awesome, my income is upped a ton, I saved for a down, and she's mine all mine. I figured my hard work might not have paid off because in most cases they won't approve a loan like that on someone under 21, so I was beginning to think I would have to wait until October but I beat the odds and i got approved all on my own and she's mine. It's amazing when all your hard work pays off. Yes now I have car payments again, and yes it costs more to insure this car than my old one, but all in all its not that bad, and its so worth it.
At the beginning of June some of my pals and I are going down to D-land for a few days and on top of the vacation being awesome in itself, now instead of taking my old car with the lack of AC functioning, which we all acknowledged as not being the most optimal of traveling conditions, we get to take my new baby with not only AC but dual climate contriol and heated seats! Hehe. I've worked my butt off the last year, and not only am I the proud owner of a new car, but a lot of other things have changed in my life for the better, don't get me wrong everything hasn't been all smiles and laughter all the time, thats not how life is. But its the hard times that make the great times so much greater, and learning to roll with the punches makes life a lot less hectic and stressful and a lot more laid back and fun.
Life isn't perfect all the time, life isn't supposed to be perfect all the time, and the sooner people learn that, the better their lives and those of the people around them will be.
Before I got the car which was the Thursday before this last, which was 9 days ago? I was laying in bed and I realized I was totally and completely content and happy with my life. This was before the dream of my car had even begun to come true. It was just me laying in the dark nothing extraordinary had happened that day it had just been an average day, but I was totally happy and content with my life. Every night after that, as I drifted off to sleep, I realized that same feeling continued.
Now that I have the new car that I dreamed of, I know I have more to be thankful for, but my happiness has nothing to do with the material objects in my life, it has to do with a contentedness within myself. Each day I live my life to the fullest, I have no grudges against anyone, I don't hate or even really dislike anyone, I love my family and my friends, and I am loved just for being who I am, not for who someone wants me to be, not for who someone expects I should be.
Life is too short for drama, and life is too short for assumptions. Sometimes you just have to take life one day at a time, because you never know whats going to happen.
Anyway, I am very excited about a lot of things, one of them being that today is my day off, last night I had fun hanging with some friends at the bar and then after that we played some pool (yes I still am beyond horrible, but at least I'll play and my team won a game and we were up against some practiced people, hehe). Today I spent time with my Raimster who is visiting from Arizona. Tonight I have plans to see a movie with another friend and then after that I have plans with another friend, then after that I have plans that involve me and my bed and sleep. Mmmm huge comfy bed and sleep . . . hehe, well anyway though its been fun documenting bits of my life lately I have things to do today. TTFN
