The Day got better...




All of the kids wanted to ditch us for the night to be with their friends. SOooo...we made a deal that they could if they went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with us and then to a movie, and we would have them home and free by 5pm. Not such a bad deal huh? Megan left from her house to meet us there. We get a call about 15 minutes outside Salt Lake and she is panicked saying smoke was flooding out of her car and she just pulled off the freeway and turned it off and jumped out afraid to get near it. Miraculously, we were literally less than one minute behind her, so we pull over and it looks BAD. Smoke was pouring out her tailpipe.(Yes this is the car she has had paid for a year ago and wanted to last for at least another 3--it was a 2000 Mazda 626)Another miracle was our AAA membership. They came within 15 minutes and away it went. Only to find out later that evening that some belt thing broke and got oil on the pistons? and it fried her engine and the repairs are more than low blue book...so pray for Megan. She is pretty bummed out about REAL LIFE and having to get a new car with a new loan to bust her rear to pay for again. Megan, when you read this, just know that my buttons are bursting that I have a 22 year old girl who has already bought and paid for a car, bought her own Condo...I know it's not a comfort, but it'll be alright and you can do it again. Everyone is impressed that you are smiling and laughing in this picture less than one hour after it happend.

Could I just say the new way to spell heaven is CHEESECAKE FACTORY?

Josh is obviously the one behind the menu. His wife will ask me one day WHY I have no pictures of him and I will smile and say...the same reason you won't unless your love converts him to a camera.
