What a Weekend May 16, 2004
I had a lot of fun with my hubby on my bday. We went out to dinner, went shopping at Katy Mills, and had some Marble Slab for dessert. All in all, a great birthday.
Yesterday we made the 5 hour round trip jaunt to visit my parents in Louisiana. My brother and sister-in-law were also visiting. It was nice to catch up with everybody. My mom gave me my bday present and I presented her with her mother’s day present, and guess what? We had given each other the exact same thing. That doesn’t happen often, and it was pretty funny.
Here’s the bad news. My husband, brother, sister-in-law, and I were pulling into my parents driveway after going out shopping for a bit. At the same time my dad was pulling out, except he didn’t see us. (My parents driveway is one car width at the entrance, but widens to allow two cars to park at the end near the house.) My husband honked the horn, but my dad hit us anyway. So now our car has a big dent near the passenger side front tire. It’s drivable, but only temporarily.
The dilemma is that my parents already have a wreck on that car and don’t have a perfect record on their other car. If we go through their insurance their rates will definitely rise, but their policy could also get cancelled. We obviously don’t want that to happen. We’re going to take the car in for an estimate on Tuesday to see what we’re dealing with. I have a feeling we might just have to trade it in as is, get as much as we can for it, and buy a new car. Buying a new car was not in our financial plan for the near future. We’re trying to save money in case we have to do IVF. I guess it goes to show that you can only plan so much.
Today we had a nice laid back day. It was a nice way to spend our 6th anniversary. We didn’t really make a big production out of it but just enjoyed each other’s company.
