Maybe everything does happen for a reason?

So at the end of my last post I had mentioned how I hoped something good would come out of everything that happened that day. And, that may be true! Let me step back a few days to bring you all up to date.
Earlier last week I had gotten a phone call from the dealership that had my car. Bad news : $1500 of repairs needed to be done. After looking at the Kelly Blue Book online, I found out that my car (in good condition) was worth $1500. Mine however, has 109,000 miles on it, a smashed in door, and can't keep coolant in it to save it's life. Great. What to do what to do? After a few days of thinking on it dad had called me after work to have me come down to Des Moines. To my surprise, here was this adorable little red 2005 Chevy Aveo. What a cute car! We took a test drive, ate dinner, came back and started on the paperwork. Two days later I was driving it home!
As soon as I had gotten home from bringing it back, I knew what I had to do. I'd been meaning to call the showroom where my old car broke down and see if they had received my application I had sent them (along with a thank you card for their kindness when I was stuck there). They had received it just fine and were wanting to interview me! Yes! Friday at 10 in the morning I go back to talk to them.
I have my fingers, arms, legs, toes, and eyes crossed that this job comes through for me! One thing's for sure though--I'll be able to make it there and back with fewer problems than last time.
I knew that even though everything went wrong that day that something good just had to come from it. Maybe this is my something good :) And maybe now I have a new car to take me to a new job...
Happy 4th everyone!
Love,
Amanda
