The Story of the New Car

 Last Christmas Neal and I rode out with Norm and Kim to the Maxfield Christmas party.  We rode in the back seat of their Nissan Murano.  On the way back from the party, Neal ask Norm what he was going to do with his car while he was on his mission.  Norm said he was going to sell it.  Neal said that we would like to buy it. So the deal was kind of settled that evening.  The day before Norm and Kim were leaving for their mission, Norm calls Neal and asks him if he still wants to buy the car.  Neal assures him that we do and Norm says they are leaving the next day and could we get the loan taken care of that day.  I took the day off and Neal and I headed to Granite Credit Union to draw up all the necessary papers.  Norm met us there and he signed all the papers he needed and by 4:30 we deposited the money for the car in Norm's bank account.  Norm asked if he could keep the car one more day as they didn't have another car.  This took place on Friday. The next morning we get a call from Norm telling us that Kim tested positive for COVID and they couldn't get on the plane.  He said they would have to wait for 10 days and then Kim could be tested again. Norm again asked if it were possible to keep the car a little bit longer.  Of course we told him that would be fine.  So for the next 10 days Norm and Kim had the car and drove to St. George.  A week later Norm and Kim leave for their mission but we don't have a car.  Neal tried calling and texting Norm but couldn't get an answer.  That night about 10:30, he called Norm again and Norm answered the phone.  He said they were in the plane in New York taxing out to the run way and that there was a little problem.  He then told us that his car had been parked in Marissa's (his daughter) driveway and Marissa's daughter back out and back into the back passenger side door doing some damage to the door.  So the car was now at a place getting fixed and it would probably be another week before we got the car.  Two more weeks passed and today, March 1st, we have a new car parked in our garage.  This whole process took about 4 weeks to complete.  But all is well and we are happy to finally have a car that we have insured and are paying on!

And that is the rest of the story!
