so i reckon you remember that i went home to manitoba with nathan.
So,
at 3 am in the morning, we were 1 hour 45 min from crystal city with the gas tank in the red for empty. Nathan drove down a road he was not certain was right for about 15 minutes, and eventually, we made it to a town called kilarney, about 35 min from crystal city. by now the tank was not looking good at all, and we were only driving 80k so we were not burning gas. We went to 2 card lock gas pumps, and nothing would take a credit card, so we went to the convenience gas station and nathan was joking about getting arrested so we could have a place to stay until morning when everything would open. Well, as we were checking out the gas pumps at 330 AM a cop did pull over, and said he would come with us to one of the cardlock pumps cause he had a co-op card that would get it working. Well, OF COURSE the key pad didnt work, and the cop said he had just used it 5 minutes ago. By this time i was laughing hysterically because it was one dissapointment after another(and i was exhausted). So I decided we should just drive until we ran out of gas-by God's grace and alot of my laughter and singing to the radio, we made it to crystal city on empty at 4 AM. went to bed at 5am. Just another ywam adventure.

First of all, super idea nic. (Just one more thing to follow...) oh don't worry, I still love you! Second, I can't load a picture. It disagree's with wanting to load one. Third, mmmm nothing, but I guess I have to say something now...
ReplyDeleteTrip home ---> Should have seen the car, packed till spilling, skiis between Steph and Sherry in the back, fish and plants squashed in my lap with me sckooted to the dashboard (well, slight exaggeration). Then we stopped at Michael's b/c I wanted to get Serena a gift from there. And oh man, jackpot!!! She was thrilled and went straight for the sock yarn. Sherry bought knitting needles and basically they talked knitting the whole way back to my house. Hilarious.
Saturday: chores. O and we bought a tree that fits nicely on a side coffee table (not a miniature tree but one size down from medium, like the size of an elf).
I'm realizing now that time is becoming shorter than I imagined. So now I have to start stratigezing my time...wisely

Kapeesh? If anything out of the ordinary happens I'll update ya. Right now I have to go back to squeezing Luca's fat cheeks and playing games with Martin. Chow my beautiful friends.
oh and also, I was inspired by this today. Don't know if you have time to read but this was what was started last year with my dts. If you've got anything that will inspire, I could use some of that right now :)
