No more car troubles
Mike FINALLLY got my car fixed!! I am SO excited. He finished it on Saturday afternoon. I have a lot of errands to run today since I have been without a car for three weeks, but at least I have it now and I can get things done again!! We went for a drive yesterday to make sure everything was working properly and it was great. I am glad I don't have to ride in Mike's big truck anymore. It is not comfortable and it is hard to climb in and out of, especially in a dress on Sunday's!

Car trouble
This is the engine bay of my car.
This is the engine. I am pretty sure that it should be IN the car not in the garage, but right now it is in the garage.
Mike was driving a couple weeks ago and the car started making funny noise. I think that is probably never good. He took it to a friend and found that he had thrown a rod barring. We had to buy a new short block, which is the center part of the above picture. He has been working on it for about two weeks now and I am going crazy not having a car. I will be so thankful when he gets it repaired so I can go do what I need to do when I need to do it and not have to rely on other people for a ride!! I am gratful that Mike has the knowhow to do this repair on his own too, because it would cost about three times as much if we had to pay someone to do it. I hope this is the last major problem we have for a while, but the car is almost paid off, just 9 more payments, so I fear that we will move from a car payment to a repair payment. We will wait and see I guess.
