Look Ma I fixed it!

So from my last post you know I knocked off my mirror. The one place I got ahold of said the mirror would be $74. Amy's husband Jared was willing to try to put it on for me to save me money on labor, such a good guy. I called the auto part place that told me that price and when I asked them to order it she said they couldn't it was out of stock. I asked her what my options were and she gave me the number of a junk yard who might have it. I called them thinking I'd get a used one from a junker car and he said they only had one and it was a new one.......for $50! I went down that night and got it.
I googled how to put a new one on and it didn't seem that hard so I figured I'd give it a shot.

As you can see from the pic I did it! All I had to do was remove a panel in side the car and a few screws then put them back. I figure the fact that I got a deal on the mirror and fixed it all by myself negates the stupidity of breaking it off. Right?

I'm glad Jared was so willing to help me but I'm kinda glad I fixed it on my own, gives me a weird sense of accomplishment. I'm so grateful to my girlfriends for marrying such wonderful men. Amy's Jared, Kelsey's Ben, Ruth's Tim, Michelle's Michael (he's still amazing even though he's not with us anymore) plus all the others I don't have room for. They have all at one time or another given me a blessing or just been there for me. I never thought I'd still be single at this point in my life and having them there for me makes it just a little bit easier.
