A broken Jeep and a remodeled flower bed...

So, Friday night my wife and I are headed home from dinner out with the in-laws. My in-laws aren't as bad as your typical in-laws so dinner out with them is never too bad. The Jeep kept driving really funny all the way home and then it happened. The rear end broke. Imagine driving your car and every few seconds you hear a loud pop and a feeling like someone just hit you in the rear end...hard. That's what it feels like when a rear end comes apart. So I limped it home and didn't have time to look it over. I thought I could limp it to work the next morning, but it was done. It wouldn't pull itself out of the driveway. So it's parked and Dad and I disassembled it this weekend. The parts should be here today so hopefully it will be done by the end of the week, but I doubt it.

The good news is, my brother-in-law is back in town for the week and he was nice enough to help us re-vamp the very lame flower beds we had in front of the house. So most of the day Saturday was quality time with the in-laws and yard work. For most people that would be two things that really suck, but it wasn't bad. The front of the house looks much better so next on the agenda is blowing up our sidewalk and ripping down that sad excuse for a deck.

In other news, McDonalds sent me a cookie cutter letter and two free breakfast sandwich coupons. Neither of them included hash browns so I'm going to send them back. Not much else happening today. Yesterday was a day off work (fall break) so I managed to get a little bit accomplished. Nothing else exciting happening except that we're finally gearing up for the spring semester. Hope everyone else is doing well.
