Tuesday...Busy, busy, busy!!!!

We got up early to head to the east side of town to visit the junkyard...we only had to go to two to get what we needed...Praise God for His favor!!! The girls enjoyed watching the forklift pass us in the car a couple times with a vehicle in the air moving it into the yard! While we waited for Roy...they watched a movie on the DVD player...it has been a while since they used that :)

The water pump didn't make it in today...however Roy got a lot of things disassembled to get the old one out. He had to stop...there is a special tool needed to get a certain part off. He will also have to change out the timing belt. So the process won't be simple as originally thought and may take more time ...but I am so grateful he can & is determined to do the work himself...it will save us at least $1500-$2000 ...that is a BIG Blessing!!!

I am really excited to not have a car this week and experience what it is like to live in other parts of the world or what it is like to go back in time in this country. It is actually pretty peaceful to not be running around all over the place or have the temptation to do so!! Plus, I will have so much time to complete all the tasks that have been on our list for so long...I won't be able to run from them...LOL :)

I think this whole thing may be a blessing in disguise...God is so Good!!!!





Day Two: It is sad to see their independence in a way... yet so awesome to see them growing up in the Lord :)

That's so great that Roy can do the work. That's a tremendous savings and load off of your shoulders.
