Here is Winston's first truck! Everything has been taking care of, and it was quiet a pain but it is finally done :)

Monday was my day off work since our hours have been cut back, so it was the perfect opportunity to get this taken care of. So my day starts off leaving the house about 10:30 heading out to the license plate agency. I have the title notarized and everything is in order. We get there, of course there's a problem. Since the truck is titled to me and Mom I needed a copy of her drivers license, and had to have another paper signed. Oh and the truck had to be inspected...great! So now I leave there go 30 minutes to Mom's work to get a copy of her license and get this other paper signed. Get that done, and who knew it would be so tough to get an inspection done. One place too busy, the next place we had to wait for over an hour. Back to the licence plate office which was packed, but this time everything was done. Then it cost $256.00 which I am sure is some type of money pit from the state...that is crazy! Well everything was finished and I got home at like 3:30...yes it took ALL DAY LONG! I had several things I needed to do yesterday, but unfortunately it just didn't happen, but at least Winston has a truck and we don't have to worry about that any longer...sigh (of relief)

Friday I got my Honda back. I was so happy :-) I have missed my car so much, and it seems to be running great so I am satisfied. Today we got a phone call with our total repair bill...brace yourself....yes $1,000.00!!! It is a LOT of money, but what can you do? I have to drive, I need my car and we just didn't have any choice but to fix it. I can't complain about the cost, our friend really helped us out on the cost, the parts alone were over $700.00 and I know they didn't make much if any money off of fixing it. The motor had to be taken out and tore down and that is a great deal labor so I am thankful. The Honda dealership quoted us $1,100.00 just to do the timing belt, so if I was to had the work done at Honda I probably would have paid almost $3,000.00. I hope my Honda will last another 148,000 miles now!

Still sad over the loss of Niki, it has been on my mind constantly. Please continue to keep her family in your prayers. There is power in prayer and I hope with everyone thinking and praying for them they will find comfort and begin the process of healing. I know there are tough days ahead of them so please just continue to pray!
