Well- life is always an adventure to say the least! I guess it keeps it exciting. Friday night we had plans pick up Nathan's dad and head the rest of the way south, he was going to help us plant a garden!!! We had to stop and pick up his rototiller before making the rest of the trip down and as we pulled into their house we heard a TERRIBLE noise coming from Nathan's car. We coasted into the drive-way and Nathan(aka Mr. Fix It) checked everything out-the verdict=No oil. Not good. He had his oil changed earlier in the day and we think they forgot to put something back together correctly.
After a few hrs. on the phone with Enterprise and AAA(I must say they were AWESOME and we will totally be singin up for the them when we don't have a company car someday) they promised someone would be out in the morning to pick us up and bring us back here to get a new car. sweet! So much for heading south. We couldn't drive the car at all!
side note. I have to mention that through this whole thing I was so proud of my husband...he never got mad nor did he call and say not- so nice things to the place that the oil changed. Not that it surprised me that he didn't get mad, however, it just made me so very thankful that I have an easy going, calm husband. :)
We got enjoy a 'camp-out' at his parents house instead! They are moving and had taken the guest bed over to the new house so we pulled out the sleeping bags and enjoyed a 'camp-out' in the sunroom so we could heard the rain! It was really fun.
We were up this morning and the tow truck picked us up to drive us back here to get a new car. The big question is 'What kind-of car did you get?' I know you are dying to know but you will have to wait till I get a picture in the morning.... I will just tell you its sweeeeet! :)
Needless to say today was much different that what we had thought- however, it was really enjoyable. We got to stay home(two weekends in a row!!), relax,watch the Derby and cookout. Such a fun Saturday. Tomorrow the plan is to head to church, get totally caught-up on all my pictures,get ready for our track meet on Monday and hopefully get in a run, oh AND post a picture of our new sweet ride!
