Grosgrain: Nordic Bo Peep and Long Lost Sheep Costume GIVEAWAY!!!!

A great thing happened over the weekend

Okay that title is a lie, it's just sarcasm really. So this past weekend Nelson woke up early to go for a run when he noticed something seemed wrong outside of our house. He went back out, and sure enough he was right, something BIG was missing. So I guess sometime Friday night or very early Saturday morning someone decided to steal our cargo van with, all of Nelson's flooring tools inside. So if it was just the van it would really suck, but because of all the tools gone we are out a lot of money and time. Now keep in mind that Nelson and I have a flooring business so this means that our livelihood has just been stolen. We contacted the police and put in a claim with our insurance company. Now here comes the exciting news, the police don't seem to be trying to do anything, and yesterday our insurance company informed us that we can get a big whopping $500.00 for the contents of the van! And this does not include the fact that the we don't get anything for the van at all, since we only had liability. Well, apparently we are quite foolish or silly, take your pick, thinking that our insurance company would cover the current value of the contents of our vehicle, based on our home owner's insurance. So here we are, out at least $15,000.00 wondering what to do next. Well no that's easy, we have to buy new machines at once, obviously. The sad part is that we were able to save and pay everything as cash before and now we have to take out a loan. We try so hard to stay out of debt and to pay things off quickly, this is frustrating. Especially since my car has some problems and we were planning on buying a new(er) one for me in a few months. Well, hopefully the transmission doesn't get any worse so that I can hold onto the car longer. Well, plans change, right? With the help of little thieves, at least.

I know it's a week late, but here's a photo of Rebekah the Penguin (think the movie Happy Feet. It's her favorite and we watch it several times a week.)
