Mechanic

I did not sign up to be a car mechanic but it seems like this last six months I have done beyond my share of car maintenance.  When I took driver's ed in high school we had to change a tire, change the oil, and a few other routine maintenance tasks.  I remember thinking there is no way I will ever have to do this after this class.  With two older brothers and a boyfriend who could do it for me why would I do it?  Trust me, I have used my male resources to help me plenty of times but sometimes I have to put my big girl panties on and do it myself.   

Today, I had to change the brake light on my car.  Since I had already received a ticket over the weekend for the light being out, I couldn't get out of fixing it.  Something I haven't done before but like so many other things, he very kindly took the time to look up what light I needed and sent me directions and pictures of what to do.  I love no matter how simple something may be he is still there to help in any way that he can.  Yes, I could have done it on my own but it is nice to know I can still count on him even when he is thousands of miles away.  I have learned to do a few new things this time around still I am so ready for my mechanic to come home.
