The Tire has decided...NO SWIMMING FOR YOU!




BLOW OUT!!!!!!!!
So I had so much fun NOT swimming yesterday!! It was really strange, Cassy picked my up at my house after work and was commenting to Mike at how much she hates driving her husband Adam's truck. And we were happily driving down the road making faces at people (yes mom i still do that!) when the truck started to wobble and I said "i think there's something wrong with your tire" so we figured we would check it out when we got to her aunts house (where we swim). Then i opened my big mouth, "wouldn't it suck if we had a tire blow out" like 3 mins later POP!!! I was like oh crap pull over, which Cassy was already doing! (can we say CONTROL FREAK!!) Anyway, so we got out to assess the damage. WHAT A BIG HOLE!! So girls that we may be, we got back in to the air conditioned truck (did i mention it was like 100 degrees and we were in the middle of the freakin highway??) and i called Mikey. While we were waiting for him we decided to take some fun pictures of the incident so we could remember this forever! Who would want to you ask??? Me and Cassy! So Mikey came to rescue us so we thought. But no such luck, he couldn't get the lug nut so loosen. Not even budge, in fact he almost broke the tire iron! So we contemplated what else to do, who to call etc. Then i got smart, we have AAA!!! So i called them to come save us!! It only took them 30 mins the get there. First thing that happens, trucker guy trys his expensive neat-o tool on it that never fails and BAM...he breaks his tool and lands on his knee and starts bleeding! So he calls another trucker man to come save us. 10 mins later he appears with a battery powered impact tool thingy. DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!! So in the end we had to toe it to Cassy's house and Mike and Adam worked on the tire and eventually removed it with ease (after about 30 more mins!) So i never went swimming but i was drenched in sweat!
Next thing is that Stephenie surprised us and came to town. We were all starving by this point (8:30) so i cooked us a quick dinner. We sat around and talked for a while, listened to some music and then i got a grand idea and broke out the guitar, tried to learn a new song, failed and then just played the ones i love! We had so much fun singing along! Sounds goofy of us but it was so much fun! The only problem with this is the fact that we stayed up until like 1am! Yeah and both Mike and I had to get up for work! I was so tired i over slept by about 35 mins! I couldn't keep my eyes open at work but thanks to Cassy i have all sorts of energy! She went and got me Starbucks to liven me up! AND IT WORKED WONDERS!!
What and exciting night and day I've had! Wish me luck on my drive home!

i'm so glad you were safe after that dangerous incident. I'm also glad you have a good friend like Cassy to wake you up!
