3 Bits of Good News!

I am not even sure what the title means but I can't sleep and it is almost 2 am so I am going with it...

 Good News #1:
Aaron tried everything he could think of but our Jeepy just couldn't stay running.  We had to bring her/him (depends on the day with this Jeep) to the shop and worried this could be the end.  She is 20 years old after all and has driven over 250k miles.   We brought him (see what I did there) in to the shop last Monday...and heard nothing until I called on Friday (the flu and colds are running through Sparkle City and they had guys out at the shop...info wasn't entered right and they had the wrong number down for Aaron).

The beast was fixed.  Running and ready to go...WHAAAAA?  Unbelievable!  But how much since we never heard from them.....
 

 A whopping $75.30 AND  our gas mileage is going to be much better.  I never noticed it was bad because...I just don't pay attention to that kind of thing...But AWESOME!  It was something about a vacuum supply something rather.

I love this ripped up steering wheel.

 I called Aaron and asked him if he wanted to know how much it cost.  He was worried...but  then pleasantly surprised like I was.

We were so happy to drive Jeepy around town yesterday.  It had been a while!  We celebrated by going to Fatz Cafe and then Barnes and Noble where I bought Aaron an awesome Star Wars book.  Jake and I scoped out what we may come back and buy with our gift cards when we go back with Aunt Sheila.  

 Good News #2:  Jake is a Lego Maniac.
Jake made this cool Lego Mech that holds two mini figures. Or when you use your imagination you would say it take s two mini figures to control it.

 And going back to talking about celebrating the Jeep being fixed...While we were at Fatz Cafe we tried to take a family selfie but it didn't really come out.  We are all looking at the wrong spot.  That is kind of handy though that we are all looking at the same wrong place.  What are the chances?  I have been wanting a picture of us all season with out Panthers hats on. 

 We tired again at home... It was only a little better but at least we finally took it (and that is one of my resolutions: to take a family picture at least once a month.  January is done!)!  In time to watch the Panthers beat the Cardinals in the Wild Card play off game!  WOOOOOO WHOOOOO!  Go Panthers!  And just a few weeks after the quarterback, Cam Newton, was in a horrible car accident.

 His truck was crushed after flipping several times...and he was on a bridge that his truck luckily did not fly off!  A semi hit him or something.  He is lucky to be alive and suffered a fracture in his lower back...but was back to play in the last couple of games and KICK BUTT!  This is Jake wearing his Panthers hat, covered by his hoodie.

Oh yeah-the picture taking and Panthers kicking butt were  combined for our Good News #3.

Oh and that first selfie?  I fixed it up a little on Instagram.  We are still looking in the wrong direction but we look good doing it! Hahaha!

We can't wait to watch the Panthers beat the Seahawks this coming weekend!



I am realizing there was much more than 3 bits of good news in this post.  2015 is shaping up to pretty good....pretty good indeed!

I guess I never posted about this...

 How did I never post that Jake and I picked the hottest day (up to that point in the summer) to go and watch the Panthers at their training camp that is in Spartanburg every summer.  It was hot but that gave us a good excuse to buy awesome Panthers hat to block the sun...

We got Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the way and parked in the wrong parking lot so we had to hike a mile.

We saw Super Cam!  The Panthers amazing quarterback Cam Newton.  It was so fun!  And hot!  Did I mention the hot?

The picture above shows the need for a hat I mentioned and this picture shows just how awesome it looked with Aaron's jersey that he let Jake wear.

These people were pros.  We took notes on there set up and are going to be ready for next summer.  You should have seen this mans face as they were packing up and walking by us.  Pure happiness in his smile.  He must be predicting a great year for the Panthers.  I swear I posted this already...Did I post about this?  Did I say it was hot?

This is just a random cute picture of my Jakers.

 Aaron was excited that night at dinner when I gave him the early anniversary present...

 ...and he gave me one too!  Yay!  How did he know I wanted one? :)

I really feel like I have posted this...may be I dreamt about it.  Oh well.  We are all ready for the season with new hats.  I keep telling my guys that we need to take a picture together with our hats on but it hasn't happened yet...It will...soon.

Old School Phones Are Still Cool...

..when they are sporting the Panthers logo. The Panthers are in the playoffs!  Whoot whoot!  They are playing the 49er's tomorrow and are definitely going to win...but just in case I am sending out "you are going to kick butt and make it all the way to the Super bowl" vibes.  You should do it to...just to be safe. 

The End.
