Changes changes...


Do you like my new car?? Thanks to the hail (back in August) we've been going through a LOT of changes here in the Morrison household! I have to say so far I'm not complaining AT ALL!! I LOVE driving the "new" Suburban! It's an '05, and was pretty loaded - DVD player and cordless headphone for the kids... leather heated seats for the grownups. We've all enjoyed the extra space! The kids didn't really want to say "good bye" to the Jeep, but honestly, I didn't have one bit of remorse letting it go. Did I say, I LOVE the suburban?

I spend a good share of my days before pickup up Thor from school each day on the phone with the various Insurance contacts. We have been very blessed through the whole situation. Many of our neighbors have had to fight for full coverage for their hail damage, including my parents. One neighbor even had to go so far as to tell the Insurance company they had visited with a lawyer about the situation. They didn't fully disclose that the lawyer happened to be the wife's father.... but that really wasn't thier business anyway. The Insurance company finally paid up after that!! (kinda sad!)

We got the settlement finalized for the pickup (we bought it back) and the house. The roof is supposed to be shingled sometime next week. Menards and Lowes both ran out of shingles (surprise surprise??), so we've had to wait an extra 2 weeks to get the shingling done. The camper situation has been a little long and tedious, but it's not that it's a "problem" -- mostly related to the fact that our insurance agent wrote the policy up wrong, so we've had to wait extra long for all the correct paper work to get processed, then a 2nd adjuster to take pictures, etc. But they promised me it would be finalized THIS WEEK!

Maybe we'll have to go camper shopping again this weekend?? (hint, hint Mr. Dirk??)

love you all!
