I Bought A New Car
I will write more about the whole experience later, but I wanted to post that I bought a new car this week. I turned in the Ol'Girl with 191,699 miles on her, and traded her in for a younger, sexier New'Girl with 12 miles.

I have to admit, I was a little sad. In fact, I commented to Tiffany in the showroom and told her that I think I was more sad to see this car go then I was when my mom told me she sold my childhood home. And then I began to think about all the things that happened in that car:
  • Taking my driver's test and getting my license
  • My First "Real" High School Date - with Emily
  • My First Speeding Ticket (who knew that would grow to 8 speeding tickets, in 5 states, and 2 countries)
  • Coming Home from High School Graduation and having Scotty moon the band bus in front of us, not knowing his sister was probably on that bus
  • Jumping the railroad tracks by CJ's house at 45 mph and getting "wicked air."
  • Moving Out to College
  • Driving down to the O.C. in college and hanging out on the beach
  • Visiting Over 40 states in it
  • Tons and tons of road trips with friends that were such a blast
  • Going from Fort Wayne to Seattle for New Years 2002 and then down to Los Angeles
  • All the trips to the airports to travel to 19 countries
  • Driving into Mexico with CJ, Andrea & Kelly, and then as soon as I crossed the border, realizing I have no clue how to get back to the States and everything was in Spanish (which I don't know)
  • The Infamous LA-NYC-LA New Years 2005 trip that was by far the worst road trip I ever took
  • Driving cross country to my first real job to start my "career"
  • Pulling up at Cobb County Airport for my first pilots license
  • Countless other experiences


Ohh well, now you can see why I was a little sad to see her go and realize I will never drive her again. I will miss driving will the windows down, with the wind blowing through my hair, listening to the radio super loud and driving way faster then I should. But it's not so much the car I guess, but rather all the amazing things that have happened in just 9 short years.

Here's to new memories in the new car though - which hopefully will include a date that will involve a proposal, driving to the church to get married, and bringing home my first child (I also wouldn't mind making my first million while owning it as well ;) ).

Yeah, that was tight. I am pretty sure we aren't going to be able to do that next time (especially since Jadyn will be bigger). We'll just borrow Kathy's Oddysey. It has its own Mary Magi (for the rest of you that is a GPS device we named Mary), and it has a DVD player for all the kids).

Quoted From: Jared [Visitor]Don't forget the guy on the motorcycle you took out on the way to the airport
Hey hey hey, that guy took me out. CHP and my Insurance Company agreed. But there is nothing like having a motorcycle hit you at 40 MPH and the CRV not even have a dent or any problem.

Quoted From: Jared [Visitor]And the wonderful Chicago trip with D, BT and I.
Ahh yeah. Nothing like White Castle. Why Bryan and ya'll wanted to go to White Castle so much, I could never figure out. If there was White Castle in California, I am pretty sure everyone would think it was disgusting as well, and not a "cultural" thing to do ;)

On another note, I had to drive that car home from Chicago after throwing up in that plant in the hotel in Chicago.

Let's also not forget the road trip CJ and I took to Hilton Head senior year of high school, and because it was too cold in Hilton Head, we went to the library, printed off a map, and drove to you at Sannibel - which as I believe, was the genesis of ya'll relationship. I still take credit for your guys relationship because of that trip ;)

Gravatar.com Yay for new cars! But you did leave out the time Sarah helped you pack your car to drive cross country for your first real job and she found extra room that you missed because she can pack up a car better than you can! That was a glorious day!

Description
Andy's blog aims to be like a Scrubs episode, mixed with a Chuck Klosterman column, centered around the topic of faith. It is open, honest, raw, and a little embarrassing. It is a place to discuss religion, politics, ministry, pop culture, and well, just life - especially focused on the time of life we call our 20s!

Andy is the Executive Producer of The Allen Hunt Show; a progressive (in the literal sense), talk radio show based in Atlanta, GA aimed at bringing faith back into the public discussion. Andy enjoys travel, aviation, web design, politics, friends, and faith. He holds that the secret to a full life is loving God and loving people - which he fails at constantly.

Andy grew up in Fort Wayne, IN. He now lives in Alpharetta, GA.

More information about Andy can be found at www.2timothy42.org or Andy's Facebook.

P.S. As has been mentioned on air, Andy is horrible at grammar and spelling. Please excuse any mistakes, trust me, he's sorry.
