Trey spent last week in Fredericksburg helping his family build their cabins for their new business, Der Fels.
He then made a stop in Austin to do some music stuff before heading home.
I just returned from a last minute trip to Rocky Mountain National Park with my mom and dad. We drove up there and did some incredible hikes and stayed at a bed and breakfast (my dad's first). The best part of the trip was the 5.5 mile, 300 ft elevation hike which turned into the 11 mile, 1,600 ft elevation hike that went straight uphill for 3 hours. Minor mistake on my mom's part. It all turned out ok because on the way down we saw two huge male moose (meese? :) in the meadow.
After all this fun stuff, we thought we would be ending our summer on a high note. We were quite ticked then, when we headed to the car yesterday to find out it had been broken into by some idiots who thought we had anything worth stealing. They broke out the back passenger window and threw everything around. Luckily they didn't steal anything since we don't own anything worth taking. They broke into 14 cars in our complex that night. So this is what our car looks like right now.
We don't quite have the money right now to fix it after Layla's surgery and then emergency blood transfusion (never did write about that drama), one plane ticket to Michigan, 2 plane tickets to Boston, 2 vehicle registrations, a flat tire, a cracked windshield, and no paycheck for Trey until the end of September. So now I am humbled at being one of those people on the freeway with the wind flapping around my plastic window covering. I would like to give a shout out to Dave Ramsey because had we not been following his plan, we would have been in quite a pickle. Hip hip hooray for emergency funds!

I like your summer recap! We leave tomorrow for CO-cant wait!
v- sorry about the plastic window and frustration with all of that, but i hope the fun summer memories get you through! happy back-to-school to you!
Look at it this way...the plastic is part of the family, part of the fun of a "quiet summer". I mean there is nothing more quiet then the flapping of plastic taped over a window while driving down the express way.
It all takes me back to when Rob's car was broken into. They did $2600 worth of damage for a refurbished $120 radio. When reinstalling the radio, I wanted to leave a note on it with our contact info on it, I could buy them TWO brand new radios and still come out ahead if I could avoid paying a deductible. People can be such morons. So Sorry. Hope back to school goes well. Molly
