Bad Luck Comes in Threes...

Well, this past week has been a little stressful for us!! Last Tuesday, Jonathan and I were watching T.V. when we both heard a HUGE crash. They are doing construction just across from our apartment so we really didn't think anything of it. (We both had a feeling to get up and check on our car, but neither of us did!!) A couple hours later I looked out of our window and the front/side of our car was completely messed up!! Turns out that a construction vehicle that was driving through our parking lot (which they are NOT supposed to do!) somehow it our car that was parked in our parking spot!!! Luckily, the driver left a note with his info, and when we called him he already had things rolling with the insurance people, so that was good. BUT we have now been without our car for a week now and it doesn't look like we're getting it back anytime soon. It doesn't look like too much in the pictures, but it was about $2700 in damage.We have a rental car, but we definitely miss our trailblazer!!
We also went to the dentist this week because Jonathan had a tooth that was bothering him, and since we don't have dental insurance it's going to be a pretty expensive trip!!!
On top of everything else, our apartment owners were kind enough to inform us that they want us to move our of our apartment in December because the managers want OUR apartment!!!! Not any of the other 7 apartments... nope!!! They want ours!! We were pretty upset!! We went down to talk to them and are in the process of trying to convince them to let us stay here until April when we graduate. They said that they would get back to us in a week and let us know what they decided, so hopefully it will be good news for us!!!!
For Labor Day weekend, we headed up to the cabin for another short visit. We left Saturday morning after Jonathan got off work, and we stayed until Monday evening. We went canoeing while we were there. We went down Henry's Fork to Mack Inn, for what we thought would be a lazy relaxing canoe ride, but we were wrong!! We fought a wind the ENTIRE time!!! We both got our workout for the day!!! (Jonathan a little more than me!!), but we were both a little sore afterwards! Grampa also set up a horseshoe game and we had fun with that!!
School starts today so we are both going to be busy this semester. Jonathan working and going to school and me with my internship and classes! But we graduate in April so we are almost there!!! (And hopefully our luck takes a turn for the better!!)
