My amazing husband

Okay, I am the luckiest girl alive.  Not only am I married to my best friend who is so very wonderful to me, but he is also very smart.  We just bought a van last Thursday and it has just a couple little things that needed to be fixed.  Some of the things that needed done are things that I myself cannot even begin to comprehend how to fix, but Derek said he could do it (and if Derek says he can do something he always can).  The lady that we bought the van from had an estimate done on everything that needed to be fixed.  She got everything done at the dealership and I mean EVERYTHING (even light bulbs changed....sad in my opinion, but hey, to each their own.).  The quote to get everything fixed in the van was almost $4,000!!!  Insane, right?!  Well, my talented husband has bought all the parts we need to get it back up to perfection and has already begun the work.  Total cost: $250.00.  I LOVE THIS MAN!!  I am SO very grateful that he knows how to work on vehicles.  My dad always told me I needed to marry someone that did and boy was he right!  So thanks for the advice dad and thanks to my father-in-love for having the patience to teach Derek how to work on vehicles.  There are so many areas that I can brag about my Derek, but today he deserves to let me tell everyone about his wonderfulness about cars.  I love you sweetheart with all my heart!!  Thank you for all that you do.

P.S. We got a name for the van.  During the day it is Green Giant, at night Trenton says it looks more blue so then it becomes Blue Giant, but alas, we must have a nickname that Kaydon can say, so it is usually called Vannie.
