Being an adult is so much fun ;-)

The last week has been a little bit rough to say the least. On Thursday evening my cute little altima broke down on I-75 South near Ooltewah. I was crusing along as normal when suddenly all of my lights came on (engine, oil, brake), my steering started locking up, I couldn't accelerate and my engine started making a terrible noise! I had to get it towed back to Cleveland and the mechanic thinks it needs a new engine. Let me just cough up that couple extra thousand dollars I have underneath my bed. ;-) It may end up being a better idea to just buy another car and sell my car for the parts. It is eleven years old and I have already put a lot of repair work into it...I may end up buying Aubrey's car in a couple months, but until that day it looks like life is going to involve me sharing a car with my two brothers.

This all may sound like a lot of whining and complaining but I am honestly quite grateful. I am thankful that I now work in Cleveland and could walk to work if I have to (this would have been a terrible thing to have happen if I was still driving to Chattanooga). I am also blessed to have access to another car sometimes. I guess it's just frustrating that this happened a few months before I am planning to move somewhere else where I definitely will need a car. I have some money saved but I was hoping to use that towards the move and not a car payment. Anyways, hopefully things will work out and I will stop stressing! I miss my little coche!

Isn't it amazing how God's timing works?

Let me know if you need anything! We do only live one block from each other!
