I am Woman! R-O-A-R

Okay, so contrary to how my post from yesterday may sound, I had a totally wonderful and awesome day.
Bryan and I took care of some issues yesterday morning regarding our home and living arrangments, and some things with our vehicles but we came out of everything still smiling.
We came home from a trip to Wal-mart and put Gracie down easily for her nap. After we watched Days of our Lives, I decided to clean out my car.
What I mean here is COMPLETELY cleaned it out. Washed it, sprayed air freshener.

This morning, I was even going to be at work early for a change.
And then it happened.

I had no sooner stepped out the front door and noticed my neighbor approaching. "You know about your flat, right?"
Look of shock and frustration appears on my face.
This kind neighbor of mine helped by taking the flat off, but at 6 o'clock in the morning where do you go with a flat tire?
You call your mom to drop you off at work and put the tire in the trunk.

I go to a wonderful church with some of the most kind, generous people in the world. Some of you who go to that same church might already know that. But the response I got from my email for help to get my tire changed on my lunch break actually made a crappy day so much brighter.
And one of the first people to volunteer was Kellyn, :)Amy'slittle sister. When I asked her if she knew how to change a tire (because I don't) she assured me that her husband, Jason, had shown her how to do it at least twice.

So after I struggled with jacking the car up even more so Kellyn could get the tire on, I felt a rush of excitement at learning how to do something so simple I should've learned how to do it years ago. And once the excitement wore off, I was just plain tired.

So thank you, Kellyn, for helping me change my tire.
