The Beauty of Owning a Volkswagen


Dear Blog,

I need to let out my frustration somehow besides screaming from the top of my lungs at work! It all started this morning. Jeff drove my car to work and as he was driving home, the battery light on the dash kept blinking so he was thinking, oh great here we go again, another thing wrong with Brits car! So he got home and popped the hood and long and behold the serpentine belt that we had replaced only 2 months ago had busted and melted rubber all inside the engine. So were thinking sweet, it's only going to be $60 this time to fix the monthly problems we have with this stupid thing. Jeff called my Dad, my dad helped diagnose the problem as best he could over the phone and what he came up with is the waterpump went out which caused the serpentine belt to seize up so we not only have to replace a $60 belt but we also have to get the waterpump fixed ($600)! AHHHHH! Seriously, I hate VW's! If it's not one problem one month, the next month it's something different. So....the car is not able to be driven so we had to call a tow company and have them come tow the thing up to our mechanic in Lehi. I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER would recommend a Volkswagen to ANYONE, unless you have money to get it fixed every month!!!! Woooohhhh, I feel a little better now:)

3rd Trimester!


So it seems like every few weeks I crave something different. This week it's pancakes with spray butter and lots of syrup! Last week it was Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, and Oh's cereal (my favorite, it makes my mouth water just thinking about them:) It seems like I'm hungry all of the time and my mood swings are getting more frequent! Ahhh I feel like a basket case some days. My poor husband. The blessing of having a baby totally outweighs the not so fun things we go through so it's all good! Jeff and I are getting so excited to see Paislee and be a mommy and daddy. This last 3 months is going to be hard because we are getting so anxious! Hopefully time flies by so fast, until then I need to take a chill pill and relax:)
