Broken trucks, and Doc. appointments

On the way to my Mom's house on Sunday, our truck broke down. Remember the truck that we just got fixed? The only mode of transportation that we have right now!?!?

We couldn't get it started at all, so Jonathan, my Dad, Hunny and Mike "towed" it back home. Us women folk were back at the house preparing dinner and all of a sudden we see Jonathan standing in the middle in the road. Of course that peaked out interest, and we go outside and this is what we see! My dad is towing the truck back to the house hillbilly style! With a chain!! :)

I remember telling my mom that this whole situation just isn't really funny anymore. I really just want a reliable car.

The truck is now parked in my parents garage. Andrew came over after church and they worked on it. They thought it was maybe the starter, so we left late Sunday night with Hunny planning first thing in the morning to get the started checked.

When we got home Sunday night, Heather and Kevin had put their car in our garage. They didn't ask us if we needed it, they knew that we needed it, and they just did it. Without thought of themselves. I know that this has put a little strain on how they function, as Kevin has had to take her to work, or they have had to borrow Kevin's Dads truck. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for just doing.

Even though the truck broke down, it didn't damper our party. We were all so happy to have Jonathan and Melanie there.

The kids had such a fun time running around and just being with each other. All but little Eli. He was so tuckered out!

You can tell that they are totally in love, and they still couldn't keep their hands off each other!

I loved seeing how in love they were.



Fast forward to Monday. Dada had a Doctor appointment up in Madison. We left early Monday morning. It was just Dada and I, and I loved it! We had such a nice girly day. Her appointment went really well. I knew that she would have to have blood drawn, and I was very nervous about it. Getting blood drawn is the one thing she doesn't handle well. ( I have to say that I can't blame her!! ) The Doctor knew that she was nervous and they put some numbing cream on her arms. So she didn't feel a thing!! Praise the Lord!! ( The last time she had blood drawn, my mom went with us, and when we left the Lab, Dada, my mom, and myself were all in tears. It was so hard to see her so upset!!! )


Anyway, her a1c is 7.1. Which is FABULOUS!! The doctor was so pleased with everything that we were doing. So that was encouraging to hear. He adjusted her insulin a little, and actually lowered her insulin a little. And he gave me license to raise it if I needed to.


After her appointment, we headed to Chipotle! I got the crispy tacos, and she got some quesadillas. I also got some chips and guacamole. She decided that she doesn't like guacamole.

After lunch, she wanted to head to the mall. We just window shopped and enjoyed our time together. She really is growing up into a little woman, and I enjoy spending time with her. She is such a joy!!



BTW, the starter is just fine. Everyone is saying that it is something electrical. That something is blowing the fuses. Some guy thinks that there is a bare wire somewhere that keeps shorting things out.

I know absolutely nothing about cars. I just hope that this gets fixed sometime soon.

I also want to thank Kevin and Andrew who have spent a lot of time trying to get it to run again. Kevin was with Hunny all day yesterday trying to figure it out.
