Once life heard of the baby and the move, it decided to give us a couple surprises...
1. The XBOX gave us the ring of death so Jed went on to fix it, unfortunately 2 seconds before he was done it fell and pretty much exploded, so no more XBOX (which we have been living without just fine)
2. The same day the XBOX exploded, out microwave decided it wanted in on the exploding action, so it gave Jed a light show and sparked when he opened the door. (Thankfully our great friends had an extra one and gave it to us so we're good there...you never realize how much you need a microwave!)
3. Our Mazda is now currently attached to a car dolly outside our home. About 20 minutes outside Tooele, in the middle of nowhere, it gave us problems and eventually just died. Luckily my brother was still needing to go home so he gave us a ride. The first person I asked in our ward if he knew of anyone with a car dolly...had one and he even helped Jed drive out and pick up our car. Jed and his buddy (and everyone he calls) is currently trying to figure out what's wrong, hoping to make it not cost too much for us...we're crossing our fingers for it to NOT be the transmission.
4. Jed just took the truck in to get an oil change and they it's definitely the brakes that are starting to squeak (which means new brakes) and there is a leak that need to be fixed...oh and he also got 2 rock chips filled! Luckily Jed is amazing and knows how to replace the brakes himself (and he thinks we already have some for the truck), so it just means time that will be spent and not money.
When it rains it pours!

Stinky! At least you're healthy and the baby is great! Sorry about the microwave. Ours did that too. It shorted out from Kaylee slamming the door over and over again. Microwaves are wonderful....sigh.... you never miss them until they are gone.... I agree with you though, may that XBOX rest in peace.
On the up side I have a ton of baby girl clothes for you!!
Sorry to hear about that...everything DOES seems to break down at once, though. May the Car Fairy bless you and watch over your poor, suffering car. :)
