Oh MY HECK!!

So... Long story short. So Jacob and I had free ice creams at the ice cream shop. We decided to make a date night out of them. I really wanted to see the movie Date Night and it was playing at the dollar theater on Wednesday night. Ice cream was perfect. Everything else...Not so much... We made it to the light by the movie theater. And suddenly the car decided it didn't want to work anymore. I thought it was the battery (again) so we called for a jump. Turns out it was not the battery. Rather, the serpentine belt decided to fall off. So we got a tow home. Talk about embarrassing. Everyone in our apartment complex kept looking out at us to see what was going on. After a Thursday of torment, walking to the grocery store, and trying to see which parent wanted to come rescue us (neither could), I decided to be really mean and sad. On Friday I decided I was going to figure out how to fix the car myself. Yay...Thanks Dad for telling me that the graphic of how the belt goes on is actually on the hood of my car...Anyway, so Jake and I got really excited because we thought we finally had our car fixed. Nope wrong. We couldn't figure out how to move the idler pulley to get the belt around everything snug. So...I finally remembered a conversation I had with my visiting teacher's husband. He said anytime Jacob and I needed help with our car he would be more than happy to help. So after several days of being retarded (on my part) he came over and helped Jacob put the belt back on. But he figured the belt came off for a reason. Turns out it was the water pump. Luckily, we were able to buy a refurbished one for about 25 bucks. And the water pump on the car is super easy to change. Strangely, it is actually located in a sensible place, unlike most cars. So about forty dollars later, and no trips to the mechanic, we have a car that works!!! YES!!!! Thank goodness for my visiting teacher :D
