My check engine light came on about 2 months ago. I figured I needed an oil change or something. But it kept coming on and then going off for quite some time. So I took it up to Jonathan's work where one of his mechanic friends has a computer to check and see what is wrong. He said that it was the catalytic converter. Immediately I thought, great how expensive is that. Then he told us that the government mandates an 80,000 mile warranty to cover those. When I checked my odometer it was at 78,300. Yeah. So I took it up to Waco at the Isuzu dealership. They told me it would take a couple of hours to check it and then a couple of months to get the part in. I thought great. But it turns out it only took about 3 minutes to check it and it will take a week to get it in since I have a V6 instead of a V4. Plus there is no deductible. I am thankful for the government guidelines. How often can you say that these days?
Then I got a call from my old school where I used to teach. They need tutors for math and reading. It is part time and they are going to let me teach Mondays/Wednesdays, 8-3. I will still be able to teach at the preschool on Tuesdays/Thursdays and I will have Fridays to spend all day with Kylee. I found someone to keep her already and she has a 9 month old for Kylee to play with. I will make enough money so that Jonathan won't have to get a second job! God is blessing us.
Here is the long awaited picture with Santa.
UPDATE: I HAVE MISPLACED THE PICTURE WITH SANTA. DON'T WORRY I WILL FIND IT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Yay, Rebecca! That's exciting news!
What a blessing. We had a similar experience with one of our tires a couple of weeks ago. It turns out we had a nail in an "unrepairable" spot and since we had the warranty we got a brand new one for free. It always makes you smile when you realize that you don't have to shell out hundreds of dollars you don't really have.
That's awesome Rebecca!
I was reading your post below about getting jeans to fit Kylee. We had the same problem with Bethany and I just had to give up jeans for awhile! The Children's place has them 2 for $22 all the time and they have them cheaper than that a lot! They fit Bethany pretty well now, but she has thinned out some. :)
Congratulations, several times over!
