It's GONE!!!!

Tim finally sold our boat today!!!  I know what most of you are thinking... We have a boat?  Well, we did have a boat.  My grandparents decided about a year and a half ago to give us a 1975 Cobalt tri-hull ski boat.  At first Tim and I were so excited... a free boat!  We live 30 minutes from Saguaro lake and thought that a boat (even an old boat) would be a great way to spend our summers.  When we got the boat, it had been sitting in a potato cellar for 7 years, so we had to spend a few LONG hours cleaning it up, when we were finished it looked great!  We then took it to a boat shop to get it tuned up and working.  To make a long story short we have taken our boat out to the lake 4 times and all 4 times it has either not worked or broken down on the water.  So our wonderful boat needless to say has cost us a lot of money and a lot of time and has given us a lot of heartbreak and frustration.  So, at the end of last summer I told Tim to put it up on Craig's list and get rid of it.  And today it actually sold!  I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.  Another great thing that has come out of selling our boat is, Tim found our camera that we have been missing since last summer!  We must have taken it to the lake last year, put it in the jockey box to keep it dry and there it has been sitting for the last 6 months.  But as life would have it, on Monday we were cleaning out the soon to be baby's room and were trying to get rid of as much stuff as possible.  We came across the camera's charge cord, computer cord, owner's manuel and battery chargers.  We decided to get rid of them, we had already gotten a new camera and decided why keep all the stuff for the old camera that we no longer had.  So we threw it out, and today we found the camera... life can be so frustrating sometimes!!
