Sat whirlwind

Wow, today's been busy! I miss the days when I got to have a day off in the middle of the week, but I also still want both weekend days off as well-guess you can't have everything. I should have married for money not love if that's what I wanted :)

So today we tackled the basement closet, dun, dun, dun!!!!!! What a disaster. I think Scott said it best when he said "How did we let it get this bad?" now I wish I could say that it wasn't my fault, but unfortunately I have to admit that I was as much at fault as he was. We had also had some water problems when the last bit of rain storms moved through, needless to say we threw out just about everything-YUCK!!!!!! What a horrific mess!!! I'm glad it's finally done, and it will help to have it all cleaned and organized going into the holiday season.

Today I'm thankful for the car door we were able to find and buy at a junk yard for under 200$. I'm really thankful for the guy at Goodyear that has gone above and beyond to help fix it for us at a very low price. I'm so very thankful that we can close the car door now and not have to worry about it. Thank you, God, for putting the right people in our path that were able to help us out-the person at Dodge that found a silver door, the guy at the junk yard that worked quickly to take the door off the damaged car so that we could have it quickly, and the guy at Goodyear who wants to make it as safe as possible.

So as you read, we had a problem with our car door-the good car of course. About 12 houses away from being done with my paper route yesterday morning it stopped closing. I had to finish the route and drive home, while holding the door closed, and steering with one hand (it's not easy trust me). After calling around all morning to find a door we found lots but the colors were gold, black, purple, or green. Not good choices since our car is Silver. Finally Scott called the Dodge dealership and they found a salvage yard not listed in the phone book that had what we needed. My father in law went out to get it and it was 35$ less than what was quoted plus a free tire!


The nice man at Goodyear spent 6 hours on it today and it still needs an adjustment to the outside handle that he'll take care of on Monday but it looks fine and it works better than ever.

Anyways that the drama for the day-really fun interesting stuff :) if your still reading-sorry :)

Have a great day!
