(Long Post feel free not to read, mainly for journaling purposes)
A month or so ago Seth was driving this cute little car around in 115 degree weather with no AC, because is was going to cost $1400 to fix it. After using my car as often as he could to drive to work he decided that he wanted to sell this car and share my sweet little mini van. So he put it up for sale and of course didn't get very many interested buyers.. (no one wants to be driving around with no AC in vegas) He lowered the price and got some interested buyers, he brought them in to sign the Bill of Sale and get the title and couldn't find the title!?! ( This was really funny to me) So he told them that as soon as he found it or got a new one he would let them know. Called the DMV they had sent it to the wrong address and were going to mail it to our new address and it would arrive in 7-10 bussiness days.
Had some new interested buyers, they gave him money to hold the car for them until he recieved the Title. The next day they called wanted to buy the car without the title and just get the title from us once it came... Seth agreed, wrote up a contract (saying that he would have the title by the end of the month or would refund the money and she could return the car) and the car was sold.
Well 7 days go by and no title, so he calls the DMV, and of course, they mailed it to the wrong address AGAIN!!! So he has to refund the money.
She brings the car back (after a million annoying calls and texts to Seth) and to our suprise has fixed EVERYTHING!
-new brakes
-fixed the leak
-fixed the air conditioning
-Cleaned the engine
-Touched up the paint
-fixed the engine light(which had been onf or the last 2 years)
Seth paid her $200 for the parts, which is nothing compared to what it would have cost to have all those things fixed.
Seth & I were talking about how funny this was, how it was this really annoying event that I was so bugged at Seth about, but it turned out to be such a great blessing. We have been so abundenlty blessed these last few years and this is just one more thing to add to the list, I know that our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs & wants, even if they are as simple as hating arriving to work covered in sweat! :)

No way. What a neat story.
Wow that is amazing! Cairen I have a question for you. Could you give us directions to the Las Vegas Temple? We are hoping to spend a day in Las Vegas before the St. George marathon and would like to see the temple!
That is an amazing story!! I can't believe the woman had everything fixed, and then returned the car in perfect condition! Did you still have the money from the sale of the car, or did you spend part of it (like I would have done?)
