If it's not one thing, it's another...

Well, last night was an interesting night for sure! Andrew's dad got to town around 7 o'clock and pretty soon after that we headed out to dinner. We ate at the Treehouse Italian Grill and sat outside on the patio under the huge Live Oak. It was a really nice, cool evening and the food was great as always. After dinner we went over to the new house to give him the tour. He couldn't stick around too long since he had to drive back to San Antonio, and we wanted to get a little bit of work done, so we said good bye and he went on his way. We decided not to get involved with a big project since it was already late and we were tired. I got started on a little bit of touch up paint in the master bathroom, and Andrew hung the new vanity lighting. The master bath definitely needs a second coat of paint, which you can't tell from this picture. The paint looks thin in a lot of places and it drives me nuts to look at it. It looks like the second coat will have to get done after we move in. We are at the point where we really have to prioritze, and getting packed and moved is top of the list!

So after we got the new light up, we decided it was time to go home. When we got out to the car, we found out my battery was dead! Great!!!! We have a charger thing that you can plug in to your cigarette lighter and it is supposed to charge your battery after 15-45 minutes. Well we gave it a shot but after 15 minutes the car still wouldn't start and we were getting tired. I called Marika (it's handy having friends who are nocturnal) to see if she was at work or if she could come pick us up. Luckily she was not working and on her way home from a friend's house. Marika to the rescue! She swung by and picked us up on the way home! That still didn't solve the problem of my dead car, but at 12:30 we really didn't want to deal with it, we just wanted to go to bed. I sent out text messages to several of my co-workers who live near us to see if someone could give me a ride in the morning. I didn't hear back anything at that time of night, but this morning at 7:15 I got a message back from Jay. Jay to the rescue (again)! Seriously Jay wins the most helpful friend of the year award after helping out with several house projects and letting us borrow a ton of tools.

So now we need to figure out what to do about my car. Hopefully when we go back over to the house after work it will start, or we can jump it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's nothing more than the battery. We are planning to pick up the moving truck at 7 this evening and begin the moving process. Lots to do!!!!
