I really consider us a one car family... even though that's not really true. I think it's partly because we only use one of our vehicles for months at a time... usually because our truck is being used by a friend or isn't working. Dan LOVES his truck... I don't. Every time I pay our insurance on it I think about the money we could be saving if we just sold the truck. We go back and forth a lot about what to do with it. Anyway, we've had some battery issues with it recently (it's been sitting for a long time... and the dome light was left on for probably a week). Dan took the battery to the shop today to have it charged. A couple hours later he hooked it back up in the truck and it started right up! We decided to take a family drive into Forest Park to pick up some free firewood. We made it about a mile up the road from our house before the truck completely stopped as we were driving through a busy intersection. Thankfully Dan was able to push it off to the side of the road which is right across the street from one of our local police stations. Within minutes we had a police car parked behind our truck, Dan had called a tow truck and I called had called our Pastor (who lives right around the corner) for a ride.
About 15 minutes later Carter and I were on our way home and Dan was getting picked up by the tow truck and dropped off at our mechanic about half a block away. We love our community!! Now we're back to being a one car family and hoping the battery problem isn't anything major!
