I'm in the money

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My check for jury service arrived in the mail today and guess what. It was for more than I thought. I took the train to the courthouse and I forgot that they were going to reimburse me for the fare. I didn't get $18.00. Oh no. I got, are you ready for it, $23.00. Being the kindhearted individual that he is, the Utah State Treasurer didn't just reimburse me the $4.50 it cost to ride the train. He rounded it up to the next dollar and gave me $5.00 bucks flat for it. That generosity brought a tear to my eye. Or, maybe the tears came from laughing so hard at the ridiculous amount I got.

Something good did come in the mail. The title to our car. We paid it off several months ago and I realized on Friday that the credit union hadn't released the title to us yet. I called, they fixed the mistake and mailed it off. So, now we officially own a 10 year old car that has 124,000 miles on it and several scratches that I'm going to say were caused by Ryan. OK, me. I suppose that since it is now ours for real, it can feel free to break down and die at anytime.

Now that you officially own it, let's hope and pray that it never breaks down again...

I'm with Erin. Hope it makes it another 10 years! I hate car payments!

Don't spend all your big money in one place. K?

WhooHoo!! Love not having a car payment. We seriously need a bigger vehicle, but we don't want a car payment. Hoping for a nice tax return this year that will allow us to buy another small car ouright. Then when we want to go anywhere as a family, we'll take two vehicles. Isn't that nice for our carbon footprint?
Anyway, sorry I haven't visited in a while, you probaly don't even remember me. I'm just getting caught up on all my blog reading 9for a minute anyway).
