Sometimes we are blessed in ways we never imagined would be a blessing when it happens. For instance, a few weeks back while Brian was studying at the office late one evening, he heard someone trying to park a rented U-haul outside. Then he heard a crunch. By the time he looked outside there was no sign of the truck. What he noticed when he got in the car to come home was that the crunch had been the Saturn. The mirror had been knocked off and the front side swiped. The damage is not severe but annoying to fix. Dad confronted the guy that we knew had done it (since it was the only U-haul out) and he admitted it was probably true because he was tired and was having trouble parking it. Long story short he said he would pay us cash for the damage. A few weeks pass and now we really want to go to Utah for the forth of July as all of Brian’s family will be there and it will be a long time before we are all together again. The tickets prices have been rising by the day as we try to hammer out when we can go. By the time we sat down to buy the tickets they were up around $500 for all of us to go. Ouch. We finally found some with United that will run $342. Well, that is better, but we are saving every penny so we can close on a condo hopefully by the end of the summer and $342 is a lot when it comes down to that. The guy came through yesterday with $375. We will fix the mirror so minus $45 for that and we have nearly the whole amount to pay for the plane tickets. The reason we are not going to fix the rest of the damage is because it probably wouldn’t decrease the price of the car that much if we decided to sell it. So there you have it. We are set to go to Park City on July 2nd through the 7th and it isn’t going to be a big ouch. It is turning into a huge reunion. Not only are all of the Andersons and spouses, kids and dogs coming, but grandparents, and many of the cousins and aunts and uncles. It should be quite a fest.
Remember this baby. Look at those cheeks. She doesn’t look like this anymore.

It is true…she is loosing her checks, in more than one area (my goodness! Did I really say that?!) Okay.. she is really slimming down. She looks like she will be tall and slender. Who would have guessed by her baby checks… the face ones ;0 mom
No, she doesn’t look like that anymore! But she sure is still a cutie! See you on Sunday! ~L
