Why Us?


The Last few weeks have really been hard for us. Both of our cars got broken into while parked in our complex and they took everything! This of course happened within 7-8 days of one another. When our van got broken into they stole our car deck and a huge tub of all of my husband's collectible baseball card from his childhood. After this horrible incident we cleared out our car and removed the car deck at night to keep everything safe. 7 days later our car got broken into and they stole everything in the trunk and the glove box. We had moved everything in the trunk because we thought this would be a safer place. We had a box full of electronic cables, several winter coats, boots, a new GPS, a fondue pot, text books, and a tennis racket! We spoke to the complex about breaking our contract and moving somewhere safer, but that would have been too expensive for us. The management said they would give us a garage and that was all they could do for us. The next morning our van is gone because someone called and had it towed away for parking in their stall. We call the tow place and they tell us it will cost $325! The next morning we drive for 1 hour trying to find the tow place which was in the middle of nowhere and the guy tells us he only takes cash!!! We beg and plead for a blessing and he finally accepts our check! We arrive at the complex and the only garage they can give us is 3 buildings away from where our apartment is!

Life is wonderful :/

  1. Man, Adam and I are so bummed for you guys! That's so terrible! You should have the police come out and run fingerprints on your cars to try to catch these people! This is so awful! No matter how much it costs, I would get out of there if I were you. I mean, you are working 2 jobs and not paying for school, and you said you were doing okay financially when we were there last month. If you don't go that route, I think a car alarm is definitely a good idea for your birthday list if not sooner! Once again...we are so sorry to hear about all of this Ashley. Keep your chin up! As the scriptures say, "and it came to pass" and this will too.
