Things I Never Thought I would Say or Do...Thursday

1. I NEVER thought I would say that I would be in a car that caught on fire with a baby in it...okay so let me explain. Trust me I wish I wouldn't be able to say this. So we have kind of being thinking we needed to replace the Blazer so we were looking at Auto Trader and found this 2004 Dodge Durango. We went and looked at it last night and loved it, but they couldn't find the keys so Zach couldn't test drive it. Well Dan Deery called back this morning and found the keys so Zach drove it and fell in love. So next was getting the finances figured out. Zach worked on it all day and around 4:45p.m. we headed to US Bank. On the way to US Bank the Blazer turned off, he got it back on and it turned off again so we stopped in a parking lot.  I then looked at my side and smoke was coming into the car so Zach popped the hood and Chris yelled, "GET THEM OUT." "Them being myself and our baby girl in her car seat in the back. Kaylie was on Zach's side so he got her out quick and I jumped out. They got the small fire that was on a wiring harness out and we headed to US Bank in Chris's Truck. So then this made Zach and I very unhappy because we were banking on the fact that we were going to get $1,400 out of the Blazer, but now we aren't going to get anything for it unless the junkyard will give us something.

When we got the bank they couldn't give us a check because they needed our payslips from two times before and a few other things. So this just made out night even better. By this point I was so frustrated that I began to cry, which then made them feel sorry for us and they called Dan Deery. The lady wanted to know if we could have a loaner for the night and then we would get them the check. They told her that we could write a check for the full amount and then tomorrow we could come back and give them a check from US Bank. We are now proud but nervous owners of a New Used 2004 Black Durango. Which will be great for going on family trips and camping next summer and even better for when we have another child.

Well I think that is enough for this week, next weekend we are going to try to do Kaylie's 3 month photos so I will try to get them uploaded so everyone can see them.
