So it has been over a month since I posted last! Whoa! I have been terribly busy with school. For the next two weeks it will be even worse, so I will keep this short and sweet. Just give a couple of crazy updates...
April 22 was my 28th birthday! I had a wonderful day with lots of happy birthdays and best wishes from my dear ones. It was a nice day outside and everything. That was on a Thursday. Jimmy went to leave for work and his car wouldn't start on Thursday afternoon. The battery was dead. He hooked it up to the charger for a few minutes and then left. On his way home after work, he had to have a jump start because it happened again. He made it home okay so that was the good news. I woke up Friday morning to clean the bank and my car wouldn't start. What? This isn't happening! LOL. I went inside and got the keys for Jimmy's car and lo and behold, the battery is dead again! You have got to be kidding me! I called in to work. I still had to clean houses later that day too, but at that point I was able to borrow Jimmy's mom's car. What a mess! I didn't tell my boss that neither car would start. I only told her that mine wouldn't start. I didn't think she would believe me! That only happens to me! ♥
The next day, Jimmy was on his way to work. It was raining and the tires were slick, a bad combination, I know. He hydroplaned and got completely spun around in the Camaro, which is easier than one would think. Thankfully, he was okay. He was fairly certain that the Camaro was totaled. This nearly broke his heart. Men! Pffft! It ends up the wheel is bent ($100ish), needs new tires ($440ish), and needs the struts replaced ($???). Boo! Almost wish the car was totaled! Just kidding. it needs some major cosmetic work, but it will drive with just the other. Unfortunately, we can't buy a used one with any life left, for the amount it would cost to fix it. We went from having two cars to having none in a matter of two days... Did I mention that he just put a new battery in the Camaro Saturday on his way to work? LOL! Craziness! My car is still not fixed and it isn't looking too promising either. Last week they replaced the intake gasket, this week the coil pack, and we bought a pressure regulator, but not sure if it will do the trick or not. So it is an $70 guess! Need two new ones, but don't want to have to pay payments on a car again! It has been so nice the past several years!
Oh well... I have ranted and raved long enough and I know that life will go on! God is still in control and I still trust Him!
