Rollercoaster (ooh--ooh--ooh--ooh)

By now, I have learned in my 29 years that life is full of ups and downs. Unfortunately, this week the downs have really gotten to me (even though they are minor in the grand scheme of things). The biggest down by far is that my car is broken. I love my little car, but it started driving funny last week. It turns out that it needs a new transmission at only 74K miles. Even worse news was that my 5-year, 100K mile warranty expired i August. Big, huge, $3000 bummer. Nick and I have been down to one car this week which isn't very fun either. I was late to work yesterday which made me feel rushed all day. You know how that goes? Then while I was making dinner, I cut my finger. I know, I sound a little whiney. SO thanks for listening to my little rant.

What I really wanted to share is that there are lots of ups right now as well. First of all, I have submitted a request for my warranty to be extended and cover this repair. I didn't know this was an option, so keep your fingers crossed for me! :)

I am also really excited that my adult swim team is growing. I coach "Masters Swim" at Safari Island, and I have gone from 4 swimmers to 6 in the last week. It's so much fun working with this group!

Next, I get to go to Sky Zone (an indoor trampoline park) with three of my favorite ladies TONIGHT. Kelsey, Diana, Lea, and I will be participating in SkyRobics if all goes according to plan. Aerobics on trampolines?! Sounds crazy fun to me!!! I will be sure to bring my camera.

Friday night, Nick and I are going to a Wild Game! Finally! We went to three last year and haven't even been to one yet this season. So, I am really excited! GO WILD!

Saturday is the big bridesmaid dress shopping day. I'm a little nervous about this because I really don't know what I want, so I'm relying on Kelsey, Diana, Sheila and LeeAnn to help me out. My mom and dad are also going to be joining us. Maybe my mom will find her dress, too!

Sunday will be Nick's second attempt at snowboarding! After how stiff and sore we were all week, I couldn't believe he wants to go again right away. I'm so glad he's into it!!! Anyway, I feel fortunate to have so many fun things going on in my life. And the car thing will get resolved...even if it costs a small fortune.
