Tough Situations Always Seem to Find Us

I suppose by now most, if not all, know about our fun filled weekend last weekend. Actually I did enjoy myself when it came to hanging out with Sue and Justin and painting their new home. However, it was not fun getting a call from Ryan saying that he was stranded in high water. I was already in Katy and he was leaving work to come meet me. What is frustrating is that the water he got stuck in was only about 2-3 inches. Plus, other people were going through it is small cars, even other mustangs were making it through!! Like I said, tough situations just seem to gravitate towards us lately. Anyway, so Sue didn't care for me to drive my car into Houston to go get him, so Justin drove me to our apartment. (Thanks again Justin!) Once we got back to Katy, we got lots of painting done and were able to relax, have a few drinks and forget about all the crap. Then Sunday rolls around and it gets better. Ryan thought he would be able to remove the spark plugs, shoot the water out and be done with it. The oil pan didn't have any water in it, so we were hopeful. I guess hopeful too soon though. The car locked up and then Ryan couldn't get it to turn over or anything. My Monday was exciting then....I got the car towed to a shop here that specializes in Mustangs. They gave Ryan a call Tuesday monring with a diagnosis: severe engine damage or beyond repair engine damage. Ryan made an insurance claim that same day. Now, we are without a car, just waiting to see what the insurance company says. Just dandy! I guess this is just another learning experience for us. I think God just believes that we are strong and can handle anything....I say bring it on! :) Ryan and I can do anything with our love!!
Sorry I got all corny! Other than that exciting news, nothing else really going on. Right now I do not have an internship rotation. I am trying to set something up myself. Ryan is working hard; even today, Saturday. Our lease for the apartment is up in August and we have to give a 60 day notice, so we are starting to think about that. Also, it is actually getting close to the end of my internship, so I am starting to look for jobs.

To end all of this, I am going to post a few pictures. They always make things better!

You should frame that pic of you and Ryan under the blanket and give it (or send it) to her for mother's day or grandparents day- I think that is in June- I'm not sure though. Your bedroom looks awesome! thanks for all the help!!
