Finally my car is happy!
So much drama surrounding my car. The transmission has been going out for almost three of the four years we have owned it. We finally got enough from our tax return to get it fixed! We went to this place called Honest 1 who will give us a used one for 1700. Cool so we took out car in on Thursday and got a rental. The guy calls Friday night and says "Your car is done but we close in twenty minutes." We figure we can pick it up Saturday and go up North for our spring break on Sunday after church.
Saturday comes and we go pick up our car. Honest 1 opens at 8 and we get there at 8:40. It's closed.... We wait twenty minutes and figure someone is clearly in trouble for not opening their store. We call every hour and no one answers. It is a 24 hour service number and no one answers?!
Our rental car is due at noon so we start to panic and call the rental place to tell them it will be late since our mechanic isn't showing.... They don't answer either! Steven thought there was a holiday we didn't know about going on?
By one o clock he decides to call the Honest 1 breach in Provo who tell us "They are suppose to be open... I'll call the owner and get back to you."
At 1:30 the owner of Honest 1 calls us and says, "It is known between businesses that the Saturday of spring break we take off so the employees can have the holiday.... But I will come in and get your car for you."
We thanked him and left to go get our car. He was about twenty minutes late but oh well. We paid him and thanked him and left.
We drove up to the airport which is pretty far now that they built a new one. Thankfully Hurtz car rental was there and were just not answering their phone. We returned our car no problem! As we were driving back Steven decided he wanted to get a tune up on our car before we left. We took our car to Big O Tires and they did a tune up, oil change, rotated our tires, and did the safety check.
When we went to pick our car up we found out their printer was down and so they were going to mail our stickers to my parent's house.
Phew! Now for Sunday, we packed up the car and went to church. Which lasted 45 minutes longer because it was stake conference. (Steven and I had to say opening and closing prayer, Plus he was on the stand for choir)
Once church was over we leave to start going up north. We are doing good. Than five miles pasted Cedar City Steven notices our car is VERY over heated! As he pulls off the road our car stops! Thankfully we were able to cost to the side of the road. We get out and yes our car is smoking! Great..... We call the insurance company and they send a tow truck... The wrong direction... After twenty minutes he calls us to ask where we are. They sent him South and we were North. He made it to us in forty minutes. Lucky for us his truck had a back seat so me and Illianna were safe to ride. He dropped us up at AAMCO. We were stuck... So we called our friends Jessica and Lee. Who were in town and picked us up. We moved our important things into their van and they took us home.
Jessica came and got Steven in the morning and took him to pick up our car. Which Steven took to Big O Tires. They found out that when Honest O was putting our car back together they didn't put the clap back on to the hose that holds the whole thing together! BLAH!!!

What to do?
Steven is deciding to change his major! UGH! I am so frustrated with his idea. He want to be a cop instead. I really want him to stick with nursing. We wrote down the pros and cons to both and now we need to go over them. I know I am suppose to support him in his choices but this is a HUGE thing that will affect our family for the rest of our lives! I know nurses get paid more and have better work hours.
Sigh.... I probably sound really selfish but I just want him to have a good job that allows me to stay home and be the mommy. That has always been my goal and I hope it is his goal as well....

4 years!
Steven and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary yesterday. It was lovely! We went to this restaurant called Riverside Grill on the Sunset golf course. It was very high class! I got the filet mignon. And Steven got a New York strip. His wasn't as good as mine. You know a place in high class when the toilets are black! It was very pretty! After wards we went to see the Green Hornet. It was alright.... It was a lovely date! I bought Steven his very own Jazz jersey with is name on it. :)
I am so grateful for my husband. I love you Steven, and I am so glad you married me. Thank you so much for putting up with all the crap I do. I love you! Can't wait till next year!
The bad part... Mom and Dad lost the house and it got sent to Auction... :( But thankfully it didn't sell so maybe they will just let Mom and Dad buy it. After all the bank agreed to the offer. It's Fanny Mack that said no... But no one knows why. I cried. I really wanted that house for my family and Mom and Dad to have.... I don't know where we will go from here.

Stupid car!
Today we dropped our Celica at a car repair shop to look at getting a new transmission. We had to have Jessica pick us up. So Steven looks up car rentals for the week. SO EXPENSIVE! But thankfully they call and tell us to come back at get her. Their quote is 3,000 to fix it.... humm... No we can't afford that! We have to try another place tomorrow and hope for a cheaper quote. Also Steven called a guy in the ward who called another guy to pick him up to go get our car. Thank you so much LDS church members! Great full to be Mormon! Anyway had a long and tiring Valentine Day's. I just want to go to bed and get on with the day.
Ps
Steven got a 100 % on his latest Math test and I got a 88% on my English paper. Not to shabby if I say so myself! And Illianna made a play date. This girl hang out at school with her two year old and three week old. We are going to have them play every Mon and Wed now. :)

Illianna's ONE!
Illianna had her first Birthday party on February 5th. We went up north to Grandma and Grandpa Bruner's house. She had a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who came. I am listing everyone so that I always remember. Bowers family, Jeremy and Andrea Bowers and kids, Beach family, Loucks family, Pa Pa Mark, Katie Hyde, Chelsea and Mark, and of course Aunty Kay. Everyone was so wonderful! We got so many needed outfits! Aunty Kay made her a chocolate cake with pink frosting. It was so lovely. We had fun and so did she. Thank you so much for the support and kindness!
