That's right...a new engine! Do any of you, that actually read this, know how much that kind of work cost these days?! LOTS OF MONEY! We would have been better off just buying a new car! Well, that was DEFINITELY not in the cards for us. James was only working 3 days a week, me 7 months pregnant...who would hire me (for a second job to PAY for the new car)?! Thankfully we have wonderful family who helped us out! Once we found an engine that had been "rebuilt" it was just a matter of installing it! Praise God, that James,his dad and step-dad knew what they were doing...for the most part! The catch was...when, when the heck were all three of them going to find the time to work on the car and what the heck were we going to do for a second car?!
Well, again, Praise God that James' father had 3 cars and we were able to borrow one of them! Problem 1 solved! Now, when would MY car get fixed?! Well, it was a very slow process- trying to work on it on the weekends. Since James was out of town Tuesday-Thursday. Then with Bentley coming earlier than expected and being in the hospital longer than expected it just kept setting us back. Well, needless to say it finally was finished on Thursday July 9th!
James has since been driving it to work...just in case! He didn't want me to have it with the two kids and then have something happen to it! So far so good though! It drove soooooo nice, like a brand new car! The next thing to get fixed (or rather charged) is the "freeon"? (not sure on the spelling) anyway, it's so my air conditioning will be colder than what it was, YAY!
I am very excited, and very thankful to everyone that helped us out with it. We could not have done it without you! Thank you!
