The name of our truck is pronounced like in Monty Python, and maybe it’s British sense of humour is the reason why it has been breaking down on us lately. The problems seem to be stemming from the lack of a special battery harness which has been shorting out our starter. (It should be noted that I don’t know what any of this means; it sounds like a jock strap for the truck to me). That’s been taken care of--hopefully for the LAST time, but I’m not sure we can rest easy just yet. We’ve been very lucky to live bike-able distance from (my) work, and my parents have been wonderful about providing rides when we’ve needed it, especially when we broke down on the freeway last week! Hopefully in this next year we’ll work out our schedules/transportation situation a little better so we won’t have to depend so heavily on them.
In other news, we’ve both finished school!! I’ve graduated and I’m just waiting on the diploma in the mail--in fact, I’ve been making myself a nuisance for the last couple of weeks making sure I’m still on track (I am!)
Jared passed his last class but missed the deadline for graduation, so we’ll just have to keep checking in for the spring graduation. Right now we’re not sure if he’s going to go back, but that is one of the options we’re looking at.
Jared is training for the Ragnar in February and continues to bring home crazy stories from working Security at the mall. I love my job at Nationwide Vision, though I’m going to start doing more freelance writing on the side. I’m also I’m working on a play (it’s a musical!) in addition to my other writing projects. As long as the truck holds out, our 2011 looks like it’s going to be another great year!

I totally understand the truck issues, we had to replace the transmission and the whole stinking computer in our Durango just before christmas.
Gotta love Dodge products!
