It's back

Don't you feel like things always happen at once? Two weeks ago I got hit in the grocery store parking lot. Fortunately, the woman who hit me was insured. Unfortunately, the car needed to be fixed so I had to go through the claim process and get everything worked out for the car to get repaired. While going through this process Ella's cold symptoms got better, but she was still tired and irritable. On Tuesday and Wednesday she threw up and started having diarhea. I took her back to the pediatrician today and learned that she is breathing perfectly, her ear infections are definitely getting better, but she has contracted some kind of stomach bug. This poor girl hasn't been healthy for almost 3 weeks. I'm ready for the whining and crying to stop and I'm certain she's ready to feel good. On top of Ella being sick, cleaning up after Ella being sick (last night she threw up all over her car seat and the rental car), and getting the car repaired, Gustavo came up with a new plan to rent out our house and build a new home over in Lehi. This has taken more planning and meetings. Nothing is set in stone, but we are excited about the prospects. You can look at the plans here. Tomorrow we'll meet with the builder's preferred lender. My favorite part of the day has definitely been that our car is back.

I missed it. I'm glad to see it looks as good as new. Driving my own car is so much better than driving a rental (especially one that smells like vomit).

Building a house sounds very fun. So happy for you, I hope it all works out according to plan (I know you two are big planners!).

Braylee always seems to throw up in the truck. I hate it. So that's good it was the rental car! Glad you got your car back and good luck with the house plans.

Oh poor car and Ella. I hope they are both doing better. Exciting news about possibly building. That totally looks like the floor plan my old neighbor just moved into!

Wow, crazy stuff. I hope that Ella gets better, doesn't throw up in your newly returned car, and that everything goes well with the building plans. We can't wait to see you guys in a few months!
