0 Cars to 2 Cars in 60 Seconds

So last Monday (Christmas Eve) the cops recovered our car – long story – but the upshot is it was fine and we didn’t lose anything. Before that Chris had talked to the insurance adjuster and was advised of the amount they would be covering which was going to end up being significantly less than what we actually owe on it. He told his mom this and SHE BOUGHT US A CAR! Without telling him of course, So now we have two cars – our minivan and a cute little red 1999 Ford Escort. How crazy is that? And the kicker here is that I don’t drive – never have – I’m a very urban girl and driving never has interested me. Well folks – you heard it here first. I’m 34 years old and will be getting my driver’s permit soon so I can start learning to drive!!!
And the other good thing that came about because of the car situation – we found out how many people love us and are willing to step up and help us out. Our neighbors let us borrow their truck so we could get that last bit of Xmas shopping in, the lovely Leau came and babysat the kids for us, and my dear Leighanna took me to see Sweeney Todd just to take me away from the stress of the whole thing. And so many other people offered help and support!! It was our little Christmas miracle – someone should make a movie. Here are a few pics from Christmas

    I don’t have my drivers license either– I’m a big city girl (actually I grew up in a small city, but moved to the biggest one in my country!) I can’t imagine getting my license. You are so very brave…… good luck and have fun! And don’t forget to lock the doors, LOL!

    I’m so sorry to hear about your Christmas troubles! But it sounds like everything worked out in the end. Happy to hear that! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas in spite of it all! As usual, your kids are just adorable!
