Seriously?

So we arrived in Kentucky on Monday afternoon. We stopped by to visit one of DH's aunts on our way to his family farm. We visited for about an hour and then headed to the farm to unload the car and get the dogs settled. Once we had gotten everything settled we drove into Louisville to go to the UL basketball game with one of DH's uncles. While racing to get there in time for tip off, we managed roll over a piece of steel laying in the middle of the road and blow our back tire...


The tire was obviously beyond repair. And to make matters worse, because the tires were old, we actually had to replace all 4 instead of just the one which was shredded by the piece of steel. Price to replace: $1063

This morning my husband went out to hunt on the farm. He had to drive over to the area of the farm where he was going to hunt... so he wakes up, turns on the car to warm it up, and when he gets back in it after getting dressed he notices:


The windsheild is cracked from the drivers side to the passanger side. Just got off the phone with safelight auto glass...Cost to replace: $223.

This has got to be a joke, right?

Oh my goodness - so glad you all are okay, but that seriously sucks about the cash. What a bad time of year (and in general with a baby on the way!)

just keep telling yourself bad things happen in threes - I think you hit three (1) the original tire, (2) needing to replace the other three, (3) the windshield.

You should be clear for a few months (at least) now!

So sorry all this happened!!!
