This past 3 weeks we've had some bad luck We had a sprinkler pipe blow in the back yard (unknown to us) We got a phone call from the water dept. that our consumption was high and then a lovely 150.00 Water bill. We dug it up and found the leak and got that fixed. A few days later Jappy was coming home from work for the day and a guy backed into him. Jappy got out of the car to talk to the guy and asses the damage and the guy took off. This did not make Jappy very happy he jumped back in the car and followed the guy. Got his license plate number and then went back to the bank to report it. The officer was very nice, BUT told Jap that he was pretty much screwed. Most likely the guy didn't have insurance and 2nd Because he was an Indian there wasn't much he could do. (The reservation is 8 miles away) Isn't that lovely??
So the Honda has a broken and smushed headlight and the hood is bent up. It wasn't to bad until the next day the radiator started leaking antifreeze EVERYWHERE. YEAH for US. They still haven't contacted the guy that we know of but we're hoping the reservation will take some sort of action. It's pretty much in their hands.
Then yesterday we had a softball game WE Won!! Jappy is well known for his catching ability at first base. He can stretch out into the splits if needs be. Strange I know. During the game he was thrown a short ball so he stretched out, but in doing so severly hurt his knee. He heard it pop and he didn't get up. He's always rolling around on the ground, so after the ump called the runner out I headed for the dug out. When I turned around and saw him still laying there, I said to one of the other guys " Oh great he'll be complaining about that all night." (I'm not too sympathetic)
He limped off the field and said he was out for the game. (You know it's bad if he doesn't get back out there to finish playing.) He iced it all night and went to the doctor this morning. He didn't tear anything (thank goodness) sprained it bad and might need to see an orthapedic surgeon in a few weeks if it doesn't feel better. We're greatful it's not too serious at this point.
Everyother year Jap does something to send himself to the E.R Hopefully this is it.
I really hope that this will be the end of our bad luck streak
On a better note Amber and her family are coming this weekend to spend a night with us. We're excited to spend a lil time with them.

Wow, you're doing awesome at this thing. Look at all these posts! That sucks about the car. Seems like they should be able to do something! Hope Jappy's knee isn't hurt too bad. Congrats to Mady on her graduation. I love little ceremonies like that for the kids. So cute.
Hello Jeppsen clan,
Good to hear from you again! Your girls have grown up so much and congrats about the one on the way. Sorry about the car, sometimes shooting someone on the spot is the way to go. Life is good here in Boise. I am almost done with school, I actually go to ISU here in Boise so go Bengals! Tell Jappy to stretch before he plays, but if he can do the splits then he is more flexible then I am so go Jappy. Have fun, if you are ever in Boise during football season let me know and I'll hook you up...
Dang those uninsured drivers and hit and runners period! I hope this all works out.... as much as it stinks to put the money out, at least you've got a good excuse to get a new car! :) Way to go on the blogging--we love seeing what you're up to! Hope Jap's knee is feeling a bit better by now and that you've used up all your bad luck for the summer, maybe even the year!
