Life Stinks...But then Starts to Smell Like Roses

So, it's been awhile. (actually with all the craziness I completely forgot to keep up to date with y'all) Anyhoo, as our journey started to move forward, it had come to a screeching halt.  So everything I had said in my last blog. Scratch that.  We have to start over..let me explain:


At the end of January everything changed. No ring. No wedding date. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Blah.  Andy went to change my spark plugs in my SUV and apparently did it wrong. On his way home the car BLEW UP. Yes, it BLEW up.  He found out it was a part, and needed to get replaced. Just 60 bucks, no big deal right? WRONG!  It still would not run.  We had the car towed to a guy he knew (after which I found out our May 29th wedding would be a no go...blow #1), and the guy still did not fix it, but thought I owed him 750 bucks.  And in case your wondering, yes I told him to F*#k off and took the keys and left.  So we took it to Firestone where they proceeded to tell us that the engine needed to be rebuilt. I vouched for a second opinion.  So once again, I had it towed to a Ford Dealership.  And Firestone was wrong! Never go there people, never lol. I was told that the wires in the spark plugs were switched (good job dear.).  $300 bucks for that. Great. So, I got it fixed...or so I thought.  Even though the dealership fixed the original problem there was still another one, every time I would stop, the car would die. I was out of money.  We did buy another car from a friend, which was where the majority of my wedding money went to.  Andy did not check to see if it was an automatic or a manual before buying it.  He gets in the car...calls me to inform me he just found out it's a stick shift.  I can't drive a stick shift! So, no car.


So after spending all the money in my car and buying the new one, which I still cannot drive...Rent time came! And guess what?  We were short..of course!! So what had to be done? That's right, my engagement ring and to be returned so we could pay for rent and for car repairs (blow #2).  So we have taken my car to 3 different people, and it's on its 4th mechanic now.  He thinks he knows what the problem is. Great. Still no car, no life, and nothing to look forward to.  I somehow managed to finished my semester of college..BIG Thanks to my friend Kaitlin, without her I would have flunked!


Hopefully I will get my car back, and my settlement from my car accident last year so I can buy a better car. As far as our wedding??? We still have that planned and hoping we will get married by the end of the year (eloping sounds good right now!)  And I have an engagement ring which is hidden from me until further notice..as he wants to surprise me with it.  And once we have our photos taken and our time, date, and place will be reveled to all.  Just pray for no more obstacles that come our way.
