The Burkett Situation

Ahhh, it was almost 6 months ago today my bride and I headed down the isle with aspirations of hope and love. But as with life came the struggles, many of them just your normal, everyday things, work, school (she is a teacher), and when things could get done. I now have a house over my head and new horizons for what to do with my life. Now we are together trying to wrangle 3 cats, a job and sanity, but doing it well together. 

 Now the main reason I have started this is to keep everyone up to date, and have some fun stories to tell. First off, we recently had a 2011 Jeep Patriot, my first Jeep. I was happy, it had everything I wanted. Well, in July we went to the Mary Kay Seminar and had a blast, our plans after that included a trip down to my family's lake house. 

Now I am not sure what happened during that week to cause this, but as we are going down 35 near Saledo, TX, we hit some nice wonderful traffic. Where is this coming from, why is there traffic on a weekend? Well, my wife, now in the driver's seat, notices when she is stepping on the gas, there is no "GO". Well I get out and check, there is some black stuff leaking from the car. We had just passed the rest stop and we are sitting, no forward motion at all.

So we call up the roadside at about 3pm, 2 hours later we figure out a place that can pick us up and get us to a nearby Jeep dealer to check out the car and get it fixed. Needless to say, they call us the next day and inform us that the damage is not covered under warranty. Well, that is just a stick in the ear, so we call Huffines in Lewisville to advise them of what is going on, they offer us a great deal on a new car and now are riding in style. But, now we are known as "The Burkett Situation" at that dealership. 
This was all said to get to this point, we were taken care of and trusted that God had a plan, even in the hot summer car, there was a plan, and it worked out.
