Running thru life.... WAHOO!!!

Joe walked down the stairs on Wedneday night from his office with this big smile on his face. 
This was not just any smile... it was the same smile I have seen before like when his car died for the final time and I had persuaded him a week before to purchase a new car.
It is his smile that he normally gives me when I have planned ahead
and in doing so have prevented a distaster. 

So of course I stopped working looked at him and said  "What did you do this time..."

His answer...

"I passed my qualifier!" 

WAHOO... he then proceeded to do his version of the happy dance and Clemson then started barking. 
=0)  What can I say... I loves these boys!

We are both so happy and relieved to know that he continue his quest to be Dr Joe
(but not a physician- inside joke).   It was a stressful month in the Oliveria-Hecker household and I am glad it is over and we can move on now!  Thank you everyone for your support and your help =0)

Running thru Life.... Hearting my insurance

I use to think insurance was stupid but after a couple happenings over the last year- I am glad I have it. 
We have our insurance thru USAA and I really have been nothing but happy with them. 
This may be because they all speak english and are quick to respond to emails or claims that you place.
But everyone has there thing that makes them happy
Even if we could find insurance for a lower price tag some place else, we would not change.
I have been with them for close to 14 years now and they thank me for being a loyal customer every time I call. 

Over the past two years we had $5,000 of damage done to my car by a stupid teenage driver- 
DID NOT PAY A PENNY OF IT!
Had my old Honda break down-  was towed to the place of my choice-
AGAIN NO MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET!
Had one of the small diamonds on my wedding band fall out-  Advised to take it where I wanted and then fax them the recept, money was in my account that week-
AGAIN NO MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET!

But the last probably makes me the happiest....
I lost my Clemson Class Ring. 

This may seem silly to some but I love this ring because it is not a tradition class ring- it is very pretty and danty.  It is also a part of being a Clemson Graduate.....
It also would have cost me $500 bucks to replace it- which I really did not want to have to pay to get it replaced. 
So I called Monday to see if it was covered under my jewelry policy that I had. 
 The MONEY IS ALREADY IN MY ACCOUNT!!!! 
I ordered a new one yesterday!!!
Believe it or not it was took less time to file the insurance claim than it did to order the ring!
I hopefully will have my ring in 7-10 weeks because it is being custom made with everything I had on it previously. 

So THANK YOU USAA.... You are great!!!
