A streak of bad luck?

So, I'm pretty sure its not me because this unlikely chain of events all started since I met Jason. I think he has bad luck. I mean, how do you miss 2 flights to the location of your wedding, get a flat tire on the way to your own reception and have to walk to the reception - late and not even showered and dressed yet? Not to mention the tanning bed burn Jason got just before the wedding or the highlights he got that ended up looking like orange carrot top with out the frow. Or the car accident that 2 of the groomsmen and one of the bridesmaids was in that totalled the rental car they were in the day before the wedding. But it doesn't stop there.
How many people have a major fire in their house.... twice? And how strange it is that one was Sept. 14, 2004 and the next was Sept. 15, 2006. I wonder what will happen Sept. 16, 2008??? The first one the cause of the fire is unknown. The second was spontaneous combustion of some oily rags used to stain a fence at our church.
Well, I guess the stolen tires, stolen stereo equipment (that happened last week), stolen truck, and stolen identity (twice) is the result of negligent cops and increasing crime rate. But how many people have had all of these things happen? And we aren't that old either!
I think its odd that the boat that we bought turned out to be a lemon and the company that we bought it from was committing fraudulent deals and registration scams. (We did get it straightened out... the company gave us a new boat last year)
If you tally it all up, it seems to be quite a list. Is it just me, or does this seem a little unusual?

Bad luck!!! I can't believe that all of that has happened to you guys. No fun!!! I have been out of the blog loop for a while and so it was fun to get caught up on all your posts. I love your backyard and your very own playground. I am sure that kids love it!:)

Yeah, you guys are unlucky in the worldly sense, but lucky in the eternal sense with your beautiful family and through all of those bad events, none of you were hurt or lost.
