Randomness

Well, the Jeep is currently on life support and it seems it will take a miracle in the form of a new engine to save her.  Why would we put more money into this 12 year old car?  That's a good question and the answer is because buying a new car now would be too expensive.  About a year ago, Mark and I devised the "Two Year Plan."  We took a hard look at all of our debts and devised a way to pay them off in 2 years.  We are only 1 year into the 2 year plan and it doesn't allow any wiggle room for a car payment.  So, hopefully, we can resuscitate the Jeep for another year or two.  Say a prayer.

On an unrelated note, Jack got the sweetest card from his swim teacher yesterday.  She told him what a great job he was doing and congratulated him on putting his head under water for the first time last week.  It was really thoughtful of her and Jack loved it.  He saw it again this morning and said "Mom, Ms. Laura sent me a note.  I'm doing a really good job at swim lessons!"  It was nice to see him so proud of himself.
