Flat Tires and Some of the Best Cookies Out There!


Jon and I haven't had the best of luck this last week. But we have had quite the experience!
Last Saturday we went to Idaho Falls for my sister in law's wedding reception with two of Jon's brothers. After the reception we stopped off and had some dinner and then we were on our way back to Logan. About half way through the drive, in the middle on no where, on I15, we got a flat tire.
 The guys changed the tire and then we were on our way again. After about a mile...our spare got a flat as well!! By that time it was about 1 in the morning. We tried calling family and we considered getting a tow. Nothing worked out for us, so the 4 of us spent the night in the small car (worst night of sleep ever!!!!) and then around 10 the next morning Jon's parents came and rescued us. I would not wish that upon anyone else, that night was something else! 

To add to the story, on Monday, Jon and I went to Ogden to pick up a couple things from my parent's home. On our way back we stopped in Brigham City and got some yummy shakes. Out of that parking lot, I ran over a nail and my car got a flat tire!!! So we pulled over and put the spare on. Luckily my spare made it through the canyon back home. Like I said, we have already had quite the week!
But in good news...I now know how to change a flat tire! Let's just hope that I won't have to use those skills anytime soon again!


In other news...please make these yummy cookies! They will brighten up any kind of day!
Jon and I finish off these cookies in just a couple days, they are definitely a favorite!
