FRUSTRATED!!!

Last Sunday morning Gregg had to work and so I decided to head to Southlake for Sunday School and church all alone. I got in my car and backed out of the garage making it as far as the street when my car died. I tried to re-start it but it never started again. I went inside to change clothes and then back out to see if I could push the car off to the side of the street and get it out of the way. One of my neighbors came out to help and she and I got it pushed over a little. Then I went to get my other neighbor to see if he could help. When he and I got back to my car I had locked the doors to the car and locked the key inside! (When it rains it pours around here!!!) I have a friend who lives a couple of doors down and she has a spare key to my car but she was at work that morning also so, one of my neighbors took me to Baylor Garland to meet my friend and get her garage door opener to get my spare key from her house. We finally made it back to my house and got my car pushed over to the side of the street in front of my house. Monday morning after Gregg got off work he came over and took me to the hospital and then went back to my house to work on my car. $300 and a new battery later Gregg had my car running like new! (He got my alignment fixed, changed the fuel filter, filled it up with gas, and even had it washed- sweet boy!!!)

Everything with the car has been fantastic all week- no problems at all until yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I got in my car to head to meet the lady who is doing alterations on my wedding dress and my car wouldn't start again! I called Gregg who was at the station (he has told me before that anytime I will ever need him he will always be on duty and so far that is proving to be true!) Luckily, my friend and neighbor Sherri was at home and she let me borrow her car to take my dress to the lady for alterations! Gregg looked into my car on-line and figured out that the fuel delivery module on my car has been recalled. This morning he came over after work (once again we were unable to go to church because of my car) and spent some more time working on the car. Luckily he was able to get it running again- I have no clue how- and so tomorrow he is going to drive my car to the station and hopefully get to take it to the dealership sometime to get it looked at. Hopefully the recalled fuel pump will fix my car and everything will be back to normal and not cost us an arm and leg!

I am so frustrated right now because I really haven't ever had any big problems with my car and I just don't understand why right now when we are trying to save $$$ for Christmas and the wedding things have to start going wrong! Why couldn't this have happened in February??? So, Gregg and I's Christmas presents to each other this year will be getting my car running again! I do have to say the one blessing in this whole mess is that God is taking care of me and making sure that the only time my car won't run is when it is in front of my house instead of me getting stranded somewhere crazy! I have to pray now that we can get this all taken care of soon and not have to spend too much more money!
