So last Monday I decided to go visit two of my brothers and their families in Tulsa. Mom was already up there and Dad was overseas on business, so it didn't take much to persuade me to go. I left Monday night and took Tuesday & Wednesday off work, planning to be back Wednesday in time to get dressed for church. I had a great time right up to a couple hours before I was scheduled to leave...
Lorinda(my sis-in-law) was heading out for a 10 o'clock doctor's appt Wednesday morning. I was getting my things together to leave around noonish. I was parked behind Lorinda, so I called out that maybe I should move my car. Lorinda assured me that she had plenty of room, since I was parked at the end of the driveway with about two car lengths inbetween us. 5 minutes later she came back in crying, tears dripping off her face.
"Your car!" she said.
I chuckled. "Whadja do, swipe my bumper curving around me?"
"It's not just your bumper!" she bawled.
We went outside and looked. It wasn't just my bumper. Mom & I shooed her on to her appointment, assuring her we would get it worked out when she got back. She felt SOOOO bad.When she left, we went back out to look again. It was definitely not just my bumper. Long(er) story short, I claimed it on their insurance. I got a rental that afternoon and didn't end up leaving until about 3:30. Y'all. My rental is a Cobalt. Granted, it's an '08, but there's no cd player or cruise control. It smells like smoke and it rides only a little better than my mom's xB!!! Gah!!! Definitely not my Lexus!!!
My car is finally in the shop as of yesterday. They are supposed to start working on it either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. One of the guys from the shop called while I was on lunch today and let me know the estimate is around $5,800, but it may be more when they get under the hood and look around some more. Thank the Lord for insurance!!!
So if you see a little blue Cobalt jetting around with Kansas plates on it(and the windows rolled down so I can breathe), that's me! I'll try to post some pics in a couple of days, but I'm making NO promises!!!

About Me
- H Brooke
- I'm a 21 year old Apostolic that loves the Lord with all her being! I will never ever walk away from my one true love, Jesus Christ! He is my Jehovah Jireh, my provider! I am very involved in my church - puppets, Winter Heritage committee, an Elder's daughter, and I've even subbed in a SS class a time or two! I also do some admin work for my pastor and my church and I love it! I pretty much do whatever is needed... I love to read when I can snatch a quiet evening(which is becoming more and more rare these days). Shopping is high on my list, as well as traveling with friends and family. I am currently enrolled in college - nothing major, basically just trying to keep my brain active! I'm pretty shy until you get to know me and have been labeled as "stuck-up" more often than not because of it. I'm the Front Office Coordinator (receptionist) at a local hospital in the HR Department and have been there over 3 years. I have been so blessed with a job that I love to do and with the most flexible boss I know.
