I've never been much of a downer. People who complain about every little thing irritate me. But let me tell you, today was one of those days FULL of bummer things!
1st- Lucy was the worst napper ever. Which means she was the most grouchy ever. Yuck.
2nd- My car was having major troubles last week. And it turns out it is the transmission. Yup. It's going to cost around $2,600. Ridiculous. Good thing we've got some savings.
3rd (and the worst!)- My cute little brother Mark was supposed to get home from his mission this Thursday. And because of the darn volcano in Iceland, he can't come home from Germany! No missionaries are going in or out of all of Europe this week. He'll be home next week, but it's like being overdue with a baby. Not the end of the world, but it stinks.
But, on a happier note:
1st- My cute grandma and grandpa came to visit tonight. Lucy has the funniest relationship with my grandpa, she totally pretends she doesn't like him, but really, she does. He was making her (and us) laugh so hard. I got the very end of it on video. She was about out of laughs, but she wasn't crying!
2nd- My awesome mother-in-law came and got my car keys and took them down to the car for me-it was like a 50 minute round trip, how sweet is that?! I was so grateful!
3rd- Mark is still on his mission! He's such an awesome example, he's still worthy to be there, and his service has been an amazing blessing to us all! And, I get to see him in a week and a half!
