So the perp in the previous entry - just happens to be the high school ex-boyfriend of a coworker's sister. HA.
Searcy, Arkansas. Town of around 45,000. Though that could be a city. A city, according to merriam-webster's online dictionary is "an inhabited place of greater size, population, or importance than a town or village." So then I guess I would call Searcy a city and not a town. Ok, so start over.
Searcy, Arkansas. CITY of around 45,000. Harding student population makes up almost 10 percent, but I'm not sure if the population on the sign reflects that. I love that place. Yes, I was ready to go when I left to start my Master's at memphis, but Searcy was a good time. Brandon edwards and I drove my old iron box on wheels out to a house at CW Road, and scraped paint off of the ceiling, while blasting the theme song to Friends. Soccer - every tuesday, thursday, and sunday night after church during the summer. I was in the best shape of my life. There is a picture somewhere on my facebook, and it was from my senior year of high school. My abs were ripped! Now they are as ripped as a memory foam pillow. WAHOO!! That's ok, someone told me that that's just a sign that marriage is agreeing with me. I'd agree with that also.
I worked in the video services department at Harding for one of the kindest, smartest, and Godly men I have ever known. David Hurd was Incredible. He gave me a chance, and I paid him back! He taught me about hard work, and what it takes, and about videos, and about doing something right the first time so you don't have to go back and fix it later. His wife and daughters adopted me as a family member after he passed away. And then an unnamed ogre and moron took advantage of mine and daniel evan's work...so we quit :-)
Acapella group, youth group stuff, soccer, band, the edwards house, cree-mee drive thru, the library, james wylie's awesome grand prix. Good times had by all. Wahoo.
It seems as though I've been saying Wahoo lately. Well - future update: Ash and I will be moving out of our apartment at the end of this month and staying with the in-laws for just a bit. We're moving northeast this summer! It's Doctorate time at Rutgers. And it's bigtime fashion design time in the Big Apple...or perhaps the city of Brotherly love. I've been researching housing, and jobs, and places that we can live, and utilize public transportation. I think what I have figured out is that in the apple (or close by) we can do it with just 1 car. But...it looks like in philly, we're gonna need 2 cars. I don't think there's a way to get around it. Ian is gonna help me look into that...though I don't think he knows that yet. Ian? whatcha think? I guess I should get back to my last day of work now. and again - WaHoo.

You know, it's quite possible to get around in Philly with no car at all. SEPTA is getting easier to use by the month and it's trying (and not quite getting there) to be as good as MTA. There is also Philly Car Share which is wonderful.
Like I said, we live in the suburbs so we have to use two cars because public transit isn't an option for us. I don't know how accessable Rutgers is from the station, but I know a train from Philly goes straight to New Brunswick.
On to more important matters:
This cover band should definitely be two basses. I can sort of play the guitar too, but the concept of a double-bassed band is fantastic. I've been trying to form the wife into a drummer, but she has trouble keeping a beat with her hands. Maybe we could get a floor pick-up and she could tapdance out a beat. Perhaps we could focus on Hootie and the Blowfish.
Maybe I'll get a Conklin 6-string bass and play chords like a guitar. It'll be beautiful.
5000 broad is really far south. As far as I can tell, the train doesn't run that far south, but there is surely bus service out there. As far as Northern Liberties, Cliff lived right around there and there are plenty of mass transit options. The broad street line runs right through there, plus there is a trolly down Girard. I do hope you don't expect too much Philly knowledge from me, we just frequently visit the CBL, we don't quite live there...
But back to the band, Ashley will definitely have to break out the keyboard beats. Perhaps we could get her a keytar?
not to be a punk, but last time i read the population sign, it said 25,000. just FYI. also, i miss cree-mee drive thru. that made my heart sad to just read the name.
any ideas for fun stuff to do in searcy that doesn't cost money? brad and i are running out of ideas already. he just got a gym membership, so we can do lots of stuff there (including getting incredibly sunburned out out the pool--ouch), but it's not open at night on the weekends. any fun ideas?
