Yikes!

And the fun continues!!! All of our woes started when we decided to replace our roof. Prices are going to triple for shingles by the end of the year and since we needed a new roof we moved of that decision post haste before prices started to go up on July 15th. Needless to say we had not planned on this expense at this time. Then we found out from our accountant that we owed $5,000 in taxes for 2007! We went to St. George for a small vacation and to see the play at the Tuachan "The Sound of Music." It was a wonderful production and we enjoyed it very much. We drove up to Pine Valley about half and hour from St. George to enjoy the beautiful scenery. As soon as we drove into a parking lot in Pine Valley we noticed that our radiator was leaking fluid big time. Thanks to some very special people we were given water to fill or radiator and a personal escort down the mountain back to St. George. It resorted my faith that there are still very good people in this world! We were touched with gratitude for those helping hands. Our saga continues....On Tuesday, we took the car into a Ford Dealership to have the non-functional radiator hose repaired. We had planned to leave for home on Tuesday, however we were told that they could not get a part for at least 2 days. They told us that they had a way to fix it well enough to get us home but we would have to leave the car overnight. We rented a car! Ug....We left for home Wednesday and drove home without any problems! We prayed hard the we would be protected and we made it home safely. The next day was Mom Breinholt's 90th Birthday open house. As we were driving to her home alas our air conditioning went out completely. We took our car to the dealership on Friday and Dan got another rental car since our car will not be ready until Tuesday. As he was driving out to Eagle Mountain to show property he had a flat tire in the rental car and was stranded on the freeway for 40 minutes. He had to replace the tire! We thought that nothing else could possibily go wrong....RIGHT? Well, it wasn't meant to be! Today, Monday....the handle on our microwave came completely off and we have a major leak in out sprinkling system that has to be repaired tomorrow!!!
Please keep a good thought and prayer that we are though with all of this "NOW!"
