Thank Goodness it's Friday...

I must admit I'll be very glad to see this week end...the week hasn't gotten any better as it's gone along. Yesterday, Jason took the van to work because the gray car was still in the shop. His plan was to leave work at noon and pick me up so we could go get the gray car. A little after noon, Jason called me to say the van wouldn't start...of course...because we just paid over $200 to fix something in the van not even a week ago...of course with the way this week is going we'll have to put more money into the cars! Arrrg. So Jason called for a tow and had the van towed to the mechanic shop where he dropped the van off to be fixed and picked up the newly fixed gray car. It turns out the van needs a new starter. Both cars have had two separate problems come up right at the same time! So crazy. When all is said and done we'll have spent about $1,000 on our two cars just in a little over a week...and we still have to pay close to $200 more to pay for the registration & plates for Jason's car and a Utah license for him. So today Jason's taking his car to work and hopefully, hopefully we'll be able to pick up the van sometime today and that our streak of bad luck will end with the close of the week! Then maybe we can focus on unpacking this weekend...hanging a few pictures on the walls and settling in to our new home.
