Day 19 Wellington New Zealand

So today was pretty uneventful. We GOT OUR CAR THOUGH!!Garrett turned in the loaner "boy racer" car last night and today he paid for our Honda Odyssey. He said he loves driving it. That is good! We feel really blessed--We paid AA (the non-USA version of AAA) to do an inspection for us. They recommended that we find out if the timing belt has been replaced. We had the dealership check and they said it most likely hadn't been done. The dealership has work done on cars all the time so they have connections and they get wholesale prices. They offered to have the work done and split the cost with us. They could get it done for $400 and everywhere else is 1000$ (without their discount). So we figured either they are really swindling us or they can get us one really great deal. They have a really great reputation with Weta people. The sell a lot of people cars to people coming in to Weta and they are very proud of that relationship so we figured we would go for it.

The kids wanted to go back to Te Papa again so I got them all ready, packed a lunch and we walked down there. Shorty after Garrett calls me and tells me he needs me to go to the bank with him. We got it all worked out but we only got to stay at the museum for 1.5 hours the we walked back to meet him outside the hotel. by the time we got there the kids were hungry again. Ezra said "mom I wrilly hungry"
Mom: You just ate lunch
Ezra: "Yea but it wasn't very much food"
Mom: you had a sandwich and a banana and a nectarine and some popcorn.
Ezra: "That's not very much"

Garrett wasn't around anywhere and if he was keeping the same schedule as he had been lately he would be at least a 1/2 hour late if not an hour. SO, since the Indian restaurant was next door to our hotel I got some Roti for everyone to snack on while we waited. This gave us rights to sit in the outdoor seating instead of just standing in the way on the side walk. We were almost out of bread when Garrett got there just in time. We walked over to the bank and did what we needed to do and then stopped in one other place before coming home to have naps.

The rest of the day is even more uneventful so I will spare you. Still no house but we are getting closer we think. Pray for us :)
