The jetta

So for the past two weeks our Jetta has been overheating and the heater was not working. So Adam and I have been having fun with one car to get around it. It is a good thing that he works at the same place that he brothers work at so he could caught a ride on the days that I needed the car to get to Orem for school. On the days that I didn't have school I would take the Jetta and I would just have to stop once or twice to allow the car to cool down.

At first we thought the problem was the thermostat, but we replaced that it, and it was still overheating. So our next option was to replace the water pump....the bad thing about this is that everywhere we called said that it would be 400-500 bucks because you have to replace the timing belt as well and the place that it is located at is hard to get to. Well long story short my brother in law knew someone and so we asked him how much he would charge and he said 150-200ish and a case of beer. Heck yes!

So we ended up paying 220.00 to him plus 100ish for the parts and a case of beer, which I bought. Everyone thought it would be funny if I bought it, and the entire time I was at the register I was trying not to laugh.

This is the old water pump part.

I just first want to thank my family for all the wonderful prayers and being so supportive. Yesterday in my Lab Anatomy class we FINALLY got our midterms back. I took it back on March 11, and I am just getting it back. I was VERY HAPPY with my results....I GOT 101!!!! we had 52 questions and each one was worth 2 points a piece. The test is only out of 100 so if you got a perfect score you could get a total of 104 points. My lab instructor told me that I got my class high! I just might pull an A out of this class as long as I do good in lecture. My midterm in that class could have been better but it was better than a lot of people. The average was a 51% and I got 72.5% so I think that is pretty good. I only have 4.5 weeks left in this semester and then I have a 2 week break and then I start my summer semester with my last pre-req before I can apply for the nursing program!!!!

I want to thank my husband for putting up with me this semester, with the long nights of study and sometimes we only getting snuggle at night when we go to bed. Thank you for encouraging me to do my best and become a better person. To get a degree and better the lives of our future children.

Well I know it's been a while since I have updated on our apartment, but it's because I was hoping that I would be able to post pictures of the finished project...but it's not quite ready yet. But Adam made an awesome walk in closet and is now starting to tile our shower. We are using the stone tiles that his aunt gave us. They look so good, and I'm really happy we didn't have to buy the stone because normally it's like 25 bucks per thing and they measure 18x18''

Tomorrow morning Adam will finally be in his official unit! We can't wait, we having been waiting for this for over a month to find our what is going on in his unit. He is also going to go up a rank...He will now be a private first class...
