Well, a lot has happened since my last post! On Monday Last week we found out that our car was having some major problems...We took it in to have them look at why the heat wasn't working. It didn't take long for a very seemingly small issue to become a HUGE problem. It was the head gasket. Apparently, our car was 1 gallon low on antifreeze and we didn't even know it. Then there was the other issue it was in for, it sounded like the wheels would fall off when we turned. A friend later told me that he knew what it was and they would eventually fall off...CRAP! That meant it was time to make a decision. Do we wait and see if the wheels fall off or the engine block cracks or we could cut our losses and try and trade it in...BIG decision!
We thought about it all week and looked online like crazy! We found a car that we both agreed we liked! It was a 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan. It had only 63,000 miles on it. They wanted 10,495 and we were able to get it for 7400! It was such a blessing to find something so quickly. We were driving Ty's dad's car and if we couldn't have found a new one quickly, we would have been driving it until we could. Apparently we were driving a car that we didn't know wasn't safe! Now it is going to be cheaper to drive home with this puppy getting 39 mpg on the highway!

With that taken care of at the beginning of the weekend, we were able to go to see Carter and Jack's last soccer games, go to the Bent and Dent and have dinner with Hannah and Matt Riley on Saturday! We had a blast just chatting the night away at the Olive Garden. Its always fun to hangout with friends.
Sunday was a quieter day, hanging out with family and watching the Packers losing in overtime. Ty was overjoyed to see the Vikings squeeze out a win while the Bears and the Packers lost. While he and Brooke watched football, Hannah and I took Annie to Aldi's and Walmart. Yay for our fun shopping Sunday! Annie was an angel at the store. After I dropped her off with Brooke I headed off for a little quality mom time. It was fun to see everyone!
Alright, after a long winded post, I am going to get back to work! Hope everyone else had as great a weekend as we did! Now its back to work!
