In many ways cars make our lives convenient and great, and in other ways they can be such a nuisance. It seems like every other month lately, either Jonathan or I have had some issue with one of our cars. His is a little understandable since it is older, but mine is only a few years old. It has been so frustrating! Anyway, just when we thought maybe things would settle down for awhile my check engine light came on. Probably no big deal, right? Well the not so big of a deal turned into almost $900 today. I about died! I know it has to be done, but it's just not fun to spend money on things like that. At any rate, my sweet husband has been taking the DART train for the last couple of weeks so maybe we won't have any issues with his car anytime soon. He found out that at Baylor Medical Center, where he works, that he can get a yearly pass for $40 a year. This is great in so many ways--we spend way less gas money, it is enviromentally friendly, no traffic jams to deal with, and Jonathan can study on the train. So far he really likes it; we'll see if this continues!

When we first moved here we had to spend the money we have saved to get a new living room suit on car repairs, I know it is not fun pouring your money into stuff like that!
We are sad that Preston Rd is back to its normal schedule, we hope you, Johnathan and Mason visit Shawnee Trail again soon!
