It happens in 3's right??

So, I inadvertently left out something that happened last weekend with Dave's checking account. We went to breakfast with my mom, like we do every Sunday. Dave was going to pay and gave the cashier his card. The cashier said that his card was declined. He thought maybe the stripe had been slowly rubbed off and was just not working now. The cashier said that, No, the stripe worked, the card was just declined. We were planning on going to Lowe's to get a new kitchen faucet, but instead he wanted to head home since he knew that he had more money than the 30 dollars breakfast was going to cost. when we got home and he logged on to his internet banking account, he realized that someone had charged over 1200 dollars to his card. Each charge was $429. All of the charges were from a company called Identity Protect. He was so upset because he obviously didn't approve these charges. After doing a little Google investigative work, I found that there are literally hundreds of people in the United States that have had these same charges against their credit cards and bank accounts. Monday, he went to the bank with his printed Google info and his bank statements and talked to the Bank Manager. He had to get a new bank account and new card. Finally on Thursday of last week, the money was redeposited back into his new account.

So, In continuing with our recent stream of, I don't want to say Bad Luck, because it isn't that - but our unfortunate circumstances - Dave was rear-ended yesterday while going to the tag agency to try to tag our VTX. The car behind him was hit and then he was hit. It isn't bad at all, he thinks the bumper is going to need to be replaced, but I am not sure. He knows more about this than I do.
So, Hopefully things really don't happen in 3's. I told Dave not to get too down about everything and to not get into a Glass is Half empty mode because up until this point, we have been very blessed and we live such a good life. He was fine after a little bit of thinking about it.

On a more positive note, we (I) painted the bedroom over the course of the weekend. IT's actually still a work in progress. But, the new color is Teal walls with a white color ceiling and a brown stripe around the middle of the room. It's so beautiful. My mom made me a quilt out of this fabric, that actually was the originator of our wedding colors. The fabric is called Metro Blue if you want to google it. IT's beautiful.

Finally, here is a picture of Dave's newest baby - a 1969 Chevy Truck. It's really cool!!
