What a weekend...one that we as a family will never forget!
We woke up Saturday morning got all packed and ready to head to the farm aka "A little bit of Heaven!"
On our way to the farm...our van began driving really strange. To be honest I kept blaming Zac for the way he was driving and turns out it was not his fault at all (yes i did apologize for getting so angry with him). Thankfully we were able to pull over before our van died. The van would start but it would not accelerate. We were able to get it towed, but it was an HOUR WAIT until they would arrive.
An hour???? With two kids???? What were we going to do?
Luckily they were the two BEST kids ever! They enjoyed playing with the toys, reading books, eating snacks, etc... They had the best time.
The tow truck arrived at the perfect time because Zac's uncle came to pick Zac and the kiddos up just a few minutes after the tow truck did. The kids were so excited to ride in his truck and they went off to the farm and I went to the shop with our now COMPLETELY dead van!
Little did I know that it would mean that I would be at the shop for 6 hours by myself!
What did I do during those 6 hours? Read LOTS of gossip magazines and LOTS of reality television.
Turns out that our van needs a new fuel pump...LOTS OF MONEY to repair! They could not get a fuel pump that day and so our van needed to sit there until today, Tuesday.
But luckily again, my sister-in-law was able to pick me up on there way to the farm. Praise the Lord!
We made it to the farm and I was reunited with my family and the time that was spent there was amazing! Great food, weather, and fun playing games! We went to the flea market and antique stores, enjoyed a nice run in the countryside, etc... It is definitely our "heaven on earth"
Monday (memorial day) came along and we were enjoying BBQ, games, pictures, jumping on the tramp, etc... when all of a sudden I heard Aspen screaming...MOMMY I'M BLEEDING, I'M BLEEDING! She was not lying...there was blood all over her hand, the deck, etc... Daddy immediately took her inside and washed the area and the cut on her hand was BAD! We brought her to the hospital and she did need to get stiches, only 3, but it was very traumatic for our little girl. She did a great job and the doctors and nurses were great. We then headed back to the farm said our goodbyes to everyone and headed home. We got to bed very late and slept in this morning. Aspen is doing great today and for our van...
Our van will not be done today like we thought and the reason for that is, the guy at the shop said he can get a fuel pump for $100 cheaper, but we need to wait until tomorrow....so tomorrow is the day we will get our van back...CAN'T WAIT!
This memorial day goes down in the books as the most eventful ever. We are just thankful that our van breaking down did not cause an accident, because it could have, and we are thankful that Aspen's cut was not any worse that it could have been. Praise the Lord!
But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” - Joshua 24:15
