Car!

Yeah, we got the Protege from the shipping people yesterday. That means that Mommy was able to get out a bit without having frozen solid toes, YEAH!!

This was after the family went out searching for homes that I got addresses to that are rentals. Not great luck, but we did find one that is right next to an elementary. It is a duplex and it is two stories and has a privacy fenced back yard. It is not new by any means, but that is probably best. It is empty right now which is a HUGE plus! We tried calling but they didn't answer, it would be nice if it worked out. I would LOVE the boys to be able to walk to school, the school yard is literally right across a side street, I could watch them walking/running on the way home.

We will see. The only problem with our search this morning is our heat is not working so by the time we got home all of our toes and hands were ice cubes. Hope we can get some moolah this week so we can get our car fixed. We got an estimate.......apparently this is a design flaw in the Ford Windstar, it is a hole in the pipe leading to the heater unit......yikes....a $400 fix. Luckily David has some great people he works with that are willing to share their good connections and we found a trustworthy mechanic.

I guess we are back bunkering down this weekend, hopefully we will get a call about the rental so we can get a peek at the inside of the duplex.

Hope you all have great weekends!

YEAH!!! I'm glad to hear that the Protege got there! Sorry to hear about the cost to fix the van, but just think of it as just one payment for a new car... LOL. Hope you hear about the rental soon... sounds like a good location too.
Miss you!
