Well, like many of you out there, we had an unforgettable fourth... unfortunately for us, it was not a good one. I will give you the ultra-brief side of it...
1) We bought a new alternator for $200
2) We found out we accidentally ruined my aunt's lake condo floor by leaving the leaking AC on (I may add that we live with this aunt, so things are tense)
3) Dan's eyeball got scratch, causing him a fair amount of pain (OK... an insane amount)
4) On the way to the fireworks, our car broke down and now we think that we have an electrical short in the car because it is acting all funny such as when I push on the brake, the radio turns off... odd... very odd indeed.
Needless to say, our fourth was vastly unpleasant. Unfortunately, my birthday on the 2nd was not much better... that is the day that the car broke down on the side of Lehi for the first time. Oh well, at least next year SHOULD be better.
We were planning on moving to NC mid-August, but we will no longer be doing that because this whole car adventure has set us a little too far back to be able to afford to make the cross country move. This week is one of those week that you wonder, what did we do to deserve this! It is one of those time where everything is going perfectly fine and then the world seems to fall apart.
We did have a good day today, which was a nice relief! We went out to lunch with our friends Dave and Catie. We went to this nice little pizza shop here in Centerville! We always really enjoy their company. I made add that this lunch reminded me (and probably informed Dave) that some times Dan does not know when to stop with a story. Dan is lucky that I am not easily embarrassed because if I was, I may just be embarrassed fairly often. Dan gets so into talking about whatever he is talking about that forgets to put his filter in. I love him dearly, but like I said, it is lucky for him that I am not easily embarrassed! Oh and Catie gave me a birthday present, which was very thoughtful and unnecessary! She gave me her favorite lotion and I see why! I love the way that it smells and that it is thick and creamy!
We will see how tomorrow goes for us. Tomorrow Dan and his brother Chris will be working on getting the car home and running... wish us luck!
