Yet again Dan and I have had car trouble! It all started with our great idea to finally get the tires on our car changed. We were a little bummed about having to spend a few hundred dollars on tires, but we knew the time was coming so we kinda-sorta prepared ourselves... I mean we'd done our homework. We called around trying to make sure that we were getting the best deal on these "bad boys". To Dan's frustration once again, Wal Mart had the best price.
So finally the day comes to actaully get the new tires put on. An hour after we drop the car off, we get a call from Wal Mart. We're thinking the tires are already hooked up and we can come by to pick up our car anytime...YEAH RIGHT...that would have been too convenient!...So Dan picks up the phone and his face completely transforms in a matter of seconds. Of course, I'm thinking the young kid who was working on our car accidently ran it into a wall or something. Thank heavens I was wrong! So Dan gets off the phone and proceeds to tell me one of our tires won't come off. They can't change it for us and say that we'll have to take it somewhere else, its Saturday by the way so everywhere is closed of course! I don't know the first thing about cars, so I'm having a panic attack thinking our car is broken. Dan's worried we'll have to both go down and donate our kidneys so we can get our car back and fixed before the day is over. Once again, thankfully that was not the case!
The entire next week, we kept worrying about our car troubles and getting the other tire fixed before it got worse. So on Friday, we drove to the west side of Omaha....like 30 minutes away to find out our worries were for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the problem solved for under $20! Sure it was a hastle calling all over town again to find out who would give us the cheapest deal on our broken tire, but it was so worth it! We're so grateful for blessings like these. They happen everyday and they really help put life in perspective!
This year, the Thanksgiving season is bringing a renewed spirit with it. This blessing, however small, really openned our eyes to what we have been blessed with. Although we love the turkey, the mashed potatoes, and especially the freshly baked pies, we feel so grateful for each other! I think we've both really felt the holiday spirit already! We just can't wait for the holidays to begin!
