Morning! I hope everyone's doing well. Tuesday was a busy and snowy day. Our morning was planned out: get our taxes done and then come home and relax for the rest of the day, but that didn't happen. Our car was acting up a little bit Monday night, so we thought we can just get our taxes done and come home quick, and take care of the car the next day. I wasn't going to be driving around in the middle of a snowstorm. Are you kidding me???!!!!

We decided to get the oil changed first, but the car was still acting up (battery light kept turning on), so we take it to this shop near our place and it turns out that it's the alternator....dun, dun, dun. The best thing is that the shop had the part and they were able to fix it right then and there, but we did not have the money :(   The guys at the shop told us to bring the car later that week, so they were charging the battery, but all I kept thinking about was to call my mom. My fiance said to give it a shot, so I called her to see if she was able to help us out, even though I don't like doing that. She, of course, said yes.

So we got our car fixed and we were able to get our taxes done...thank God!

We ended up getting 9 inches of snow! I was disappointed because I wanted it to continue snowing on Wednesday, with the hopes of not having to go in to work, but that didn't happen...oh well. Work wasn't bad, plus we got out a little early. I was just glad to come home at a decent time and be able to watch a couple of shows on the DVR.

Today, we're going to bible study. I'll be going to the women's bible study and then he'll be going to the men's bible study. So hopefully I get to see some new faces : )   I've been slacking off on going to bible study, especially on my days off, and that's not what I want to be doing. So I'm hoping that going there today gets me out of this funk and I can continue to go.

I hope you guys have a good day....take care!

Recap!

It's been a while since I last posted something, so let me update you guys on what's been going on here at Crocheted Cookies. Last week was a good and not so good 4th of July week:

- Our car wasn't working all week, so my fiance was taking the bus to work, which isn't bad because his job isn't far from where we live.

- I was sick on the 4th, so we stayed in and made it a movie day. We watched Transformers 3, Kung Fu Panda 2, Man on Fire and Drive. The last movie was a little weird, especially with how it ended. On top of that my fiance's cousins were in town visiting, so we had to tweak our plans a little bit.

- The weather was bad, it was in the 100's for almost 3 days, but we got to spend some time with the cousins on Thursday. Even though we didn't have a car we still hopped on the bus/train to go see them.

- On Friday we finally were able to get a hold of a tow truck to take the car to a shop. What we thought was a problem with the starter turned out to be the battery! So a new battery was bought and everything was good after that. We took the cousins out for drinks, so our night wasn't bad.

- On Saturday my fiance and I got ready to head out to see the cousins, so we spent the whole day hanging out, eating, taking pictures, talking, laughing....it was a good day. The best thing is that it wasn't in the 100's that day, it actually cooled down! I was bummed out because we had several things planned out for them, but I'm hoping they come back so that they can go see Chicago and do some shopping and eat at some of the cool places we like to go to.

So, that was my good and not so good 4th of July week, but we got to relax all day Sunday and we did a some grocery shopping, which was good. I got to see my mom this week, which was also good.

I hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July! I hope that next year's 4th will be a good one for me, so we'll see. Enjoy your weekend!!!
