Busy weekend!

Well Friday was my birthday! Yay!! I love birthdays but in the last couple of years I cry on my birthday.

And its a mixed bag, I cry cause I am so blessed and so many friends and family wish me happy birthday (I LOVE facebook) and then I am sad because I am away from home.

And my mom sent me the best email.

And then my dad calls and I cry after that.

Saturday I made the hubby and I a yummy breakfast and we headed out to "look at a new car he was interested in"

Which turned into "I don't like that car, lets go test dry the first car I loved and buy it" (whole post coming about that)

Then we went to a free movie (I love me some free stuff) we went and saw a free pre-screening of "Life as we know it" With Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.... Thank goodness it was free, wait for it on video. It was a cute movie but so not worth paying to see in the theater.

Life is good.

GREAT customer service..

Remember this quick summary for those just tuning in.

My car got broken into 1 week before we were moving 900 miles. We bought a new car 3 days before the big move.

Well I received a letter this month from the State of Wyoming about paying sales tax.

Sales tax we paid here in Kansas (to the tune of $983 with registration)

Well turns out we ARE REQUIRED BY LAW to pay the state tax in the state we purchased the car in. Wyoming and Missori are the only states in the 50 states that REQUIRE BY LAW for sales tax to be paid in their states (all other states it does not matter as long as it gets paid somewhere)

So umm that $983 we paid in Kansas.

Yep we owe Wyoming $500...

AND there is a slim chance we may or may not get a refund from Kansas because Wyoming is stupid.

But the good news and what this whole post was about was I called the Kia dealership we purchased the car from, they did ALL the leg work to figure out what had to be done AND THEN THEY PAID 1/2 of what we owed to Wyoming!!

Wow. Just wow! Of coarse they asked if we do get a refund from Kansas to reimburse them but if not they are sorry about the inconvenience...

How cool is that? I would even go back to Wyoming Kia to purchase a new car just because of that....


GO HERE TO ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

From all bad things comes good....

So as upset as I was about my car being broken into and being violated there are a few good things that have come from it.

1. The manager where I work has contracted an electrician to have the back parking lot where I work properly lit so no one else has their car jacked up. (This is the 3rd break in of employee cars since October. All break ins happened in the same spot)

2. MY NEW CAR!!!!

I love it!! It rides great. Its a 2008 KIA Sportage with a 10 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, roadside assistant FULLY Loaded, 4WD.

I am such a lucky girl. And just in time too we got 10 inches of snow overnight!!
