YAY!!

I finally was able to take the battery back to O'Reilly (after searching and finding the battery warranty) and they checked it and it was really low (obviously). It was out of the 2 year replacement warranty, so I had to pay like $30 for a new one. The terminals were really corroded so I got battery cleaner too. I just got in all back together and the car starts without a problem. I know that makes sense because its a new battery, but the 'Service Engine Soon' light didn't stay on like it was doing. So here's to hoping it was just the battery. I'm kinda nervous about driving it again, but I think it should be okay for a little while. Please pray that this actually solved the problem and it is not the alternator.

Before this... Matt let me borrow his car so I could actually get to places like the grocery store and church. Nathan and Cindy took me over there and I got it earlier this afternoon. Matt's car almost didn't start either!!! It had been sitting in his garage since he left for England about 2 months ago and there was hardly any gas in the tank. It took several minutes before it decided to start. I was so scared that his was broken too!!

Now I'm stuck with two cars and a bike at my apartment. That's gonna be interesting to figure out. hehe.
