My blog-worthy experience

So yesterday was quite a day and after telling Kirstin, my sister, about it she said it was definitely blog worthy. So she helped me set up the blog when I was at work, and here is my first post!

My day didn’t start out too well actually. I could feel while I was sleeping that my stomach wasn’t feeling well and when I woke up to read scriptures I thought maybe it would feel better if I just moved around a little bit. Boy was I wrong! I was in bed the rest of the day sleeping, reading, or watching videos on my computer (I would watch it on the tv but that’s broken… any donations welcome… just kidding :) ). Anytime I would move around it would just make things worse. So my diet yesterday was Ritz crackers and chicken noodle soup. Yum.

Around 7:30pm Logan came over to take care of me, he does it so well. He was able to coerce more food into me to give me strength. After some groaning on my part I was able to choke down some eggs. During this time he was getting texts from his brother to meet up with him at the Newport Beach temple. His brother was there with their parents and a couple he baptized on his mission, from Wyoming. We got to the temple, walked around, took pictures, enjoyed the scenery. Then since the friends wanted to see the ocean we went down to the coast and checked out the ocean and some really nice ocean view properties. This is when the story gets interesting.

We were driving this old VW bus that is actually pretty sweet looking and in good condition, it fit all of us so we left Logan’s car at the temple parking lot. So on the way back to get Logan’s car the bus runs out of gas! Logan’s dad is turning the wheel back and forth so the gas could move around and we could chug along as far as possible. They were able to pull into a gas station but when we got there they noticed that it was a full service station and it was closed. Ugh. So we all hopped back in, got as far as we could on fumes and then all the boys jumped out and pushed us ladies up Pacific Coast Highway to the next place. All the boys were panting and working hard, Logan’s mom was screaming “take pictures, take pictures!” and the boys were yelling “UGH! My legs are burning!” We got into the Chevron and the pumped we pulled up to didn’t work, so we had to roll the bus over to another one. We were able to fill up and so we headed back to the temple. This is not the end of the story…

We got to the temple and the gate to the parking lot was closed! I had my purse with my keys and phone in Logan’s car inside the parking lot and I needed them. So Logan had to jump the fence into the temple to retrieve my purse for me. He’s leaving on a mission in 3 months and he broke into temple grounds :) Finally things were settled, we were able to go back to his place and drop everyone else off then he took me home, walked me to my place, and went home. We all had some good sleep last night.

Sorry if that was a bit of a novel for you, but it was quite an adventure! Definitely noteworthy. I’ll try to get the pictures on here that I took of the boys pushing with Logan’s mom’s camera. At least they did it with a smile!

Update on the sickness: So I get to work today and apparently there were other people out from work yesterday too. It was brought to my attention that there was some outbreak and everyone that ate lunch that was catered in on Tuesday got sick. I might be interviewed by a bacteria specialist! That’s how bad it is…

Hope you all enjoyed my first post, glad to be a part of the blogging world now!
