Starting off on a Bad Foot...

WHAT HO! A string. But it's not any ordinary string.  Its a string of bad luck.  That is exactly what we have had since we started our blog, and we are not lovin it!!! Our string of bad luck starts with a accident on the freeway...

Here is where it started... Kara was heading back to Salt Lake to come see her studly husband after teaching dance in Riverton all day. It had began to rain and get slick when she was rear ended by a truck! Good news: it wasn't her fault. Bad news: it was undriveable and was around Thanksgiving weekend and therefore would take a while to fix. So rental it was! The rental wasn't that bad but to make matters worse two days before she was supposed to return it she lost the keys! Typical of my dear wife. Luckily after praying and many days of tearing the house apart we found them and only returned the rental car one day late!



This here is the pot hole that Kara hit while she was on her way to work (with her newly fixed car). It immediately blew out the tire, and because there was no shoulder she drove a half a mile to work on a flat.  Clearly this is in the middle of the road, so I notified the city that their roads are a hazard and that they should pay for my new tires...  I have yet to hear from them, and doubt I will. So I helped her change her flat tire (at 7am ON A SATURDAY) in 30 mins! Boom Baby!




Lovely Utah weather also put her brother in a predicament  Jarin (brother in law) was driving home for school and was involved in a very serious car accident. You will have to ask him for the full story but it ended with him being clipped from the side causing him to flip across all lanes of traffic hitting the barrier and ended with a head on collision. Luckily no scratch was left on him (just a little shock). But it was not the same fate for his car. He was left to search for a new one with my Father-in-law and lots of tickets and court details to work out.

Next my bruder (Clark) broke his PELVIS!!  Let me tell you what happened.  I just got finished helping someone in my ward move, and I was getting ready for my church ball game.  I was particularly excited for this game because we were playing against the spanish ward, and we all know their forte lies in soccer...not basketball, so I was going to put up some serious points in this game.  Then I get a text from my father saying that Clark broke his pelvis and was going to the hospital.  So naturally I went to the hospital instead of the game, but I find Clark crackin jokes about his pelvis that nerd.  Then I was the only one that needed medical attention when I nearly passed out, but what can you do.  So Clark has to stay off his pelvis for Three weeks and it will be healed.  He is taking it quite well.  Good man.  Oh and we ended up losing to the spanish ward.  Who does that!?

Now as a cherry on top Kara had lost her wedding ring.  Sad day I know.  Dont worry I double checked, and we are still married (whew!).  So we have been praying and searching for that ring of hers.  Its a good thing she is far more beautiful than any ring.  Life goes on with me and my lovely wife.









To wrap up the car stories, Kara of course had to end it with getting a speeding ticket in a SCHOOL ZONE on her way home from work to see me before I left for work... Good news...at least she was coming to see me! Bad news.. I just added her to my insurance and my clean record is not so clean anymore... Pray for traffic school.

Now it is time to burn the String of Bad Luck.
Wish us luck!
