Money Makes the World Go Round! Unfortunately

We've had quite an exciting few weeks, were everything we own seems to be breaking all at the same time...it's been fun!!! The Pontiac was making an awful sound for a few weeks, and luckily one of our good friends saved us ALOT of money and helped Justin fix it. That was on Tuesday. On Friday, Justin hit a deer going 60 mph on his way to work and came within $200 of totalling the Corolla. (Why they didn't just total it, I don't know...but I'm not complaining, because it's by FAR our more gas efficient car, and it has sentimental value...our first car..awwwww.lol) I'm just glad that the deer didn't come flying through his windsheild! :) Since this lovely incedent, our kitchen table has broken, our vacuum has broken (it's ancient, so no suprise..but WHY NOW?) and I killed my car battery listening to the radio while I detailed my car. Smart, I know. On the bright side, we were able to pay off our pontiac! That was awesome! AND...Justin graduates in FIVE WEEKS AND FIVE DAYS...but who's counting??? So, our family is still happy and healthy, and that's all that matters! Life is good!




Justin rolled his eyes at me when I made him take these pictures, but I have been looking forward to paying off the car for so long that I couldn't help it. LOL

Wow, good for you for staying so positive through all of that! And I am so glad that Justin is okay, that must have been so scary!

I agree! Way to stay positive. That's awesome, I don't think I would be able to :)

Wow, don't things like this always happen in groups? We've had similar luck with having to replace big stuff lately...not fun. Glad your husband is okay!
