Well, I'm moved. I finished unpacking most of my things. I never realized how much I missed Minnesota until i finally moved back. Now it seems as if all of my old friends are jumping at me to try to hang out. I think I've hung out with one of them? Aside from the friend I live with. I live here now tho....so i think there is plenty of time to hang out. :) I have a new job :) i'm excited to start.
Now about the road trip from hell. Day 1 was fine....long but fine. Day 2 was just ridiculously hot going through Texas. We had a small problem with my coolant but....that was my fault.... I opened it while it was hot and got the contents everywhere. I've been told multiple times that i was very lucky I didnt get severely burnt. Day 3 was where we ran into REAL problems.....so we made it from Wichita, KS(where we had stopped for the night day 2) to the border of Iowa and my car over heated. Then to Minnesota and it over heated again. We approached Minneapolis that night at about 9 pm....or 10 pm. We were making a drive from there to Chascas grandmas (where we would eventually stay that night) it should have been about a 30 min drive......we arrived at her grandmas at 3 am. We could drive my car about 35MPH and it would over heat. The next morning (day 4) we checked all fluids and they were full. 4 hours was the last of our drive and then we would be home! We made it so far the previous day so we figured what the hell....we can make it right? WRONG! We made it approximately half way and over heated again. We were trying to make it home at this rate. For those of you in Minnesota....we couldnt even make it to black bear casino/ cloquet. We got to a town called Barnum. That is where Chascas mother picked us up and drove us home for the night. DAY 5!!! Keep in mind please that this is only supposed to take 3 days. Chasca and I dropped her mom off at work and headed off to Barnum. There we hooked my trailer of belongings onto their blazer(we had to get the ball mount taken off my car and put on theirs thats why it had to wait a day). I got in my car, Chasca in her blazer, and we headed to buhl. Without my car pulling the trailer made the trip, finally.
I never want to make that drive again in my little buick. BUT i dont think it'll last that long....
Johnny leaves for his basic training in September. We're both excited about it. :)
I guess thats all i have to tell for now. :)
Later Days
