Update on the washer:  I have the MOST AMAZING husband ever.  He came home from work, and took the washer apart, found the broken part, searched and found a new part (close to where I was working), so I went and picked  it up. I got home, he put the new part on, and $25 later has my washing machine working like a charm!  Praise God!!!!  I am one HAPPY Momma!!! Who knew a working washing machine could make me so giddy! LOL!!!!  I'll try to remember this, and not complain about how much/how often I have to do laundry again.  At least I have a washing machine to do that hard part of that job. :-)

Why not.... :-(

Last night, the washer stopped agitating/spinning. :( why not....like enough stuff hasn't broken/need repairs. I'm really struggling to keep my chin up. Don't know how much more of this I can take....

Long overdue update:

Wow, where does the time go?!  Oh yea...baseball, baseball, and more baseball! LOL!  But we are having fun and living life, so what more can we want. 

Macroeconomics:  current average 98.47%! Yes!  I have Exam 4 tomorrow (say a prayer!), and then the final exam on May 9th.  After that, I'll be done with this class. Yea!!!

My Car:  Road Hazard struck.  Literally!  I was driving down a two lane hwy, and as a big truck drove past me going the other way, it's tire threw something at me.  I saw a flash of black, and screamed as it hit the hood of my car.  It made a very loud noise.  All I could think was "thank God that didn't hit my window!".  I didn't think another thing about it, until I got home later.  I turned around to look back at Levi to make sure he shut the car door good, and I saw this: 

a HOLE in the hood of my CAR!  NOOOOOOO!  So I went and got an estimate. It's going to cost over $400 to repair it.  Just great....

-Our dishwasher isn't working.... lovely... why not?! 
-a storm came through and broke one of the red oak trees in our front yard, snapped it right in half...could have been worse I guess.....
-but even in the midst of all of this turmoil...I refuse to be defeated.  I'm working extra to try and make the extra money needed....and I'm holding my head up and praising God for saving us from "what could have been much worse".  :-)
