Got the Car out of the shop!

So, our green car is finally done in the shop! Yay!!! It's nice to be back to having two cars. Even though we only recently had gotten a second one it was missed over the last week or so! Oh, a quick little update. Dh got into a car accident on 1/9. We weren't able to take the car into the shop until like 1/15 because we had to wait for the adjustor to come and take a look at it and then for him to send the report so we could take it in. The body shop we took it to (one of 2 where we live) was so backed up they said they couldn't make an appointment for it until March but we could leave it there and they could work on it in little bits as they had the time. Well, our rental car (picked up on like 1/11) was only available under the insurance for 30 days but the weekend of the 12th we went ahead and bought another car. We'd been planning on buying one in February/Marchish but just decided to do it early. Well, the car took longer than that so we were back down to just the one for two weeks. But now the car is done and we're back to having 2 and it is so nice to know that if I need to go somewhere the car is right there! I love it, and it's 4 doors which is even better with a baby on the way!!!

Oh, and even better news was that the body shop got a used bumper in that was the same color as our car so instead of getting a new one and them having to paint it, they were just able to use the used bumper which saved us some money! Yay! So, we don't have to pay the deductible since it stayed below the amount the insurance company's estimate was for! That's always nice.
