Trogdor lost his burninator*

Paul left for work today at 4am and around 5am I got a call from him saying that our car broke down in the middle of no where. For those that don't know, Paul now works in Driggs which is 40 minutes away from our house. So we had to call our friend to drive all the way out there to pick him up, and we called his dad from Pocatello to bring his truck so he could tow it back to Rexburg...well it took a little too long and the local Sherriff called a tow company because it was parked on the side of the road. So then we had to have Paul go out there with his relative to get the car from the tow company and tow it all the way back to Rexburg. To make matters worse, the tow cable broke part way but they managed to fix it...and drive very slowly! We got it to our mechanic and they luckily were able to fix it quickly and we were thankfully able to afford it, although it did cost quite a bit! Apparently the fuel pump went out and they had to replace it. And we had to walk a mile and a half in the blazing sun with our baby to go get it, can we say GOOD GRIEF?!?! Any way, all is well now, hopefully no more disasters will occur!

*Trogdor is the name of our car, it refers to the character on www.homestarrunner.com see strong bad emails and then Dragon, it's the coolest site ever!

I am glad everything worked out. That is crazy. I hate having car trouble.
