Just finished watching your last video haul and this most recent video. I am so very sorry you have had such a tough time and that your very worried about your hubster. Life issues just suck at times and I know this is so cliché to say but it will get better. I could feel the stress in your tone when the car and worrying for your hubby was spoke of in your video cause you’d have a pause of thought. Hugs my sleeve sister♥️

Tammy McKenzie thank you! You’re incredibly sweet & supportive and I appreciate it very much! We got a new car but things aren’t quite smooth sailing

[@mckenzieta777]

The Adventures Of A Cupcake Oh no...whats going on? Is it the new car? No need to thank me. Your videos and reassurance in the videos is always such a help. Thank you 😀

I might have mentioned this on instagram but I can't remember, I know this is late and the car stuff is already worked out but I understand kind of because I have had my car totalled twice in the past by other people. And both times my car was paid off and I didn't have money for a new car. It is so annoying! Because I took good care of the cars but couldn't buy a car that was equal to what I lost. I lived in Indiana when it happened. The one downside to Arizona is that I heard it is one of the states with the most uninsured motorists. So I am afraid of getting hit by someone here although that did happen a few years ago and caused $5000 worth of damage to my car which the other guy's company paid for but it was an annoying hassle because he had awful cheap insurance and they didn''t want to pay anything. Since our licenses don't expire until we are 65, no one ever checks to make sure you have auto insurance here

HelloVsg2016 We have uninsured motorists here too, but Utah drivers are some of the absolute worst. I have been hit many times unfortunately. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve gone through that as well! Utah is a no fault state which I really don’t like. I feel like it enables insurance companies to be lazy, and maybe people would drive better here if it weren’t that way. My hubby loved that the licenses are good for so long ha ha. I’m definitely going to have a time getting adjusted to driving there when we finally are able to move.
