not funny anymore...

So Saturday we went and looked at a Toyota Sienna and put an offer on it, then on the way back the Kia died on us in the middle of state highway 121 - the police had to show up and everything. The really bad news is the mechanic said the timing belt went - it would cost more than the entire value of the car to fix just that and there is no way to know if engine damage occured after the timing belt went. AAAAGGGGHHHHHHH! Thank goodness Meg moved with us - until we decide exactly what to do she has the only reliable transportation - wait I better not jinx anything else.

Oh, my word!! You are right -- it isn't funny anymore! Makes my problems look kind of tiny in comparison!! Good luck on the new vehicle! Kyle needs to give Meg's car a blessing! (and I don't mean that as sarcasm!)

Love ya!

Is Kyle on deployment?? That all sounds too familiar and it sounds like the things that happen during a deployment. Welcome to the military :-)
Hope things improve soon!
