Starting off the New Year like last year....

Two days into the New Year and our Jeep starts to overheat.  We figured it was the thermostat and so Scot changed that on the spot but it still wanted to act like it was going to overheat so we had it hauled to the house so Scot could fix it and not cause any damage to the vehicle.  He put a call into our mechanic this morning and he said it sounded like it could be air locked and told Scot what to do and he is currently doing that to see if that fixes the problem.  He started off his day though doing a brake job on our mini van.  With all the driving I've been doing for T's training it actually needed a brake job done on it.

Last year we ended the previous year and started off the new year in the same fashion with having to do work on our vehicles.  We had to put our beloved work van to rest during the year last year because every time we turned around we were having to put it in the shop.  At some point you have to just stop the bleeding.  So we took everything out of the work van and put it into our trailer which Scot has been hauling with the Jeep.  At some point this next year the Jeep will need replacing as well but as long as it's minor stuff that needs repairing we will limp it along for the time being and get as much life out of it as possible.

We still have a water heater problem to deal with at some point too but we are also letting that limp along for the time being and taking quick showers before that water runs cold.

Never a dull moment with us Neals.  Always something going on and a challenge to be conquered.  We take it all in stride and keep plunging forward.  

God is always taking care of us and our needs and we continue to always look to Him.  Our lives are in Him and all we have is ultimately His.  We remain ever thankful and grateful for all God has blessed us with and is blessing us with.  He always makes a way where there seems to be no way.

Let me just end with these positive quotes from a movie we watched recently that we were told every Elite Athlete should see.
