When the going gets rough...

It always seems that unfortunate things happen right when you realize how awesome life has been.

I was just thinking the other day how there haven't been any real "issues" Taylor and I have had to worry about lately.

Everyone's healthy, everyone's safe, everything works (except for sometimes my cooking...), the bills get paid just fine, we have awesome friends, an apartment we love, we both have great jobs, etc.

Then...bam.

Taylor's truck breaks down.

We are hoping it is an easy and inexpensive fix.

It's made things difficult.

We have such different schedules...two cars is necessary.

Luckily, we have the most awesome parents that live nearby.

Big thanks to Mom and Dad Gilbert.

But as we talked about it last night, we made a decision that even if it costs our whole savings to fix it--we were going to smile our way through it.

Come what may, and love it.

Broken down truck?  That's nothing compared to the great things we DO have.

Love, laughter, family, friends.

I sure do love this boy of mine.

And the great attitude he has about life.

And hey...how can you be mad at anything when you leave for the bahamas in just four weeks? ;)

I know this isn't a huge trial by any means.

We are lucky we still have a car that works great!

But this video comes to mind.

Love it.
