Let’s just say that Kevin and I often deal with people who treat us badly. Perhaps we invite this behavior. Perhaps God is trying to teach us something. We simply do not know.
A perfect example of this phenomenon is the restoration of Kevin’s truck. When we started dating in 2006, I saw this truck once. It obviously wasn’t Kevin’s main vehicle. A while later, he mentioned that he had found a guy to restore it. The body was in very rough shape. He paid a man named Charlie to fix it. Charlie was a person that did restoration as a kind of hobby so Kevin knew the work would not be done quickly. He is a very patient man. He was in no hurry.
After many, many thousands of dollars paid and probably one hundred phone calls made, I drove into our driveway on January 6, 2011 and found the truck returned to it’s rightful place. The whole process only took 4 years.
When Charlie originally began working on the truck, it had a working engine. My guess is that after sitting for 48 months undriven in a garage the engine is gonna need some fine tuning. We will not be using another hobby mechanic I can assure you. But, for now, we like looking at it. And we’re both going to pretend it was worth every penny.
