Our car was finally repaired yesterday. The new water pump was installed and there are no more coolant leaks! Yay!....now there are just oil leaks...plural.
But that is okay, because the oil leaks out at a rate that I can keep up with!
Also, since the car is fixed, Kami went to the store today for some much needed supplies and groceries. When she came back, she was so excited.
She shouted with glee as she entered the house, "It is really getting close to Christmas! The grocery store had 1 whole aisle with Christmas chocolates and toys!"
Then she came back to reality as the kids reminded her, "Mom, you've been gone from the States for a while when you think one 20-foot long aisle with a few Christmas things is amazing."
I am also reminded that we are a missionary family when my children exlaim, "Dad, can we drive to that one house that's decorated to look at their Christmas lights this year?!"
