Handy Hubby

So we are in lethbridge for the weekend. The kids are loving being with grandma and grandpa. And the aunties are especially loving being with the new baby. IT has been fun especially since the car decided to have issues once we got here. We are very grateful that it waited till lethbrige and did not decide to go when we got on the road.

Last night Jon and I were coming back from seeing "The Prestige" (excelent movie by the way) when the the power steering went and the battery light came on. We made it back to Jon's parents and he managed to steer the van into the driveway. As he looked under the hood he discoverd that the tension pulley had gone. It is a pulley that provides tension on the belt that drives the alternator, the water pump, the power sterring and some other important things. Basically with out it we would have ended up stuck on the side of the highway.

Thankfully It is something that Jon can fix by himself. Yay! He has saved us so much money on mechanic expenses since we got married. He has already got the replacement pulley we just need to get a bolt to replace the one that Jon had to cut when he was taking the pulley off which is a story in itself. Anyway hopefull we can get the bolt tomorow and get the car back together and get home tomorow as planned!!

So I hope everyone is having a good weekend in edmonton. And hopefully we will be home tomorow!
