Isn't there a saying something like, "When it rains, it pours." Well, that's how we've been feeling lately. Not only do we have only two weeks left before our lives are changed forever with a baby boy, but we have had the toughest time with our vehicles. First off the Kia has been making pretty bad noises for the last month, and finally last week the part that was causing most of the trouble just gave out. Then to add a load of more stress Mike's whole engine needs to be overhauled! :-( We were so excited because we were just getting things together and building up our savings and then this happened.

Well, luckily Mike is amazing at fixing vehicles and Christina has the bestest brothers ever who own an salvage yard in Lincoln, Nebraska. They absolutely saved the day by shipping us an a/c compressor, that controls also the power steering, for the Kia, AND an almost brand new engine with only 65,000 miles on it for the truck!! They saved us tremendously on the engine because it only cost us a fraction of the cost we would have paid anywhere else! We also found a guy that may take awhile to replace the engine, but he was a few hundred dollars less than anyone else as well.

So even though life has felt ridiculously out of control lately, the Lord has definitely blessed us more than we deserve. We are so grateful to have the gospel in our lives, and we know that we are blessed for doing the best we can, even if we have much room for improvement.
