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!

Oh my goodness, jess! That is crazy! I am so sorry that happened... but I guess you got a good story out of it! :) I was reading this to Tyler right as we were getting new tires for a flat we had. :) We know your pain! Both of our car brakes went out at the exac:t time and as Tyler was driving away after getting the truck fixed he got a flat!
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to see ypu guys too! Oh, and that swim suit is sooo cute! You have excellent taste! You will have to take tons of pictures of your cruise adventure! Love ya!
Even if you had an awful road trip, you just have to be grateful that you were it with your hubby. I think it would be the worst moment in my life if I got stuck on the road, in the middle of the night, alone. It would be so terrible! Anyway, this will serve as a good lesson for everybody. Before you go on a trip, you have to check your car first for anything and everything so that you are guaranteed that you’ll have a safe and good trip ahead.

You are now officially a ‘flat-tire-survivor’, Jessica! Golly, all that in one week? Anyway, to prevent a flat spare tire, occasionally check your spare tire to make sure it has sufficient air. Also, rotating your tires at recommended intervals can prevent having a common problem when changing a flat.

That was indeed disappointing! Although you have a spare tire, it doesn't help you that much because it only ran for 1 mile before getting flat again. Insane experience, indeed! I hope the cookies did a great job of consoling you. It looks delicious in the first place! :)
