Winning is not about headlines and hardware [medals]. It's only about attitude. A winner is a person who goes out today and every day and attempts to be the best runner and best person they can be! Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

His Genius Just Doesn't End!!

Ok, today we experience a little bit of deja vu. You know, that feeling that you've done something before. I was doing laundry, nothing extreme or out of the ordinary, when all of a sudden my dryer stops! It won't turn on, at all!! Needless to say, I was a little frustrated...lately it seems if it is not one thing it is another. Aaron comes over and takes it apart and finds that a small part on the control circuit board had fried! There was a funky smell and everything. So we call around and find the cheapest place to get a new assembly is Home Depot for $115.21. That is a little steep for us right now, so I called upon my wonderful parents for a small loan. So we get the part ordered and then Aaron started doing what he does best, tinkering. He notices that the problem is that about 1/4 of an inch of one of the "pathways" is fried and not making the connection anymore. He tells me that if he had a soldering iron and some solder he could probably fix it!!! I start making calls and texting people and we finally find our Bishop has some!! Aaron borrows it, takes 40 seconds and then puts it back together, hooks it into the dryer and.....the dryer turns on!!!! I quickly call and cancel the order, so I don't have to owe my parents more money than we already do;) , and give Aaron the biggest hug EVER!! He is a GENIUS!!! He is amazing and I am so lucky!!! That makes 4 fixes he has done in the last 4 months that have saved us booko bucks!!! He is the BEST!!! So smart.....now I know where Liza gets it from!!!

Aaron dear, I love ya!!!!!

So nice that he has the know how to take care of things like that! Now I know who to call! (If ever I leave the other total freaking genius that we know and love.) :-)
