New Years

Well this year for New Years, I went with Ashley and Steffen Estep to Vancouver, Washington to attend Barbara's wedding. (an old mutual friend) Ashley was the maid of honor, so we had lots to do to prepare for the wedding .We  ran around buying flowers, make-up, jackets for the wedding party (it was in the snow). That night, we made her bouquets and did her nails. The boys were drinking to celebrate the new year. Well, after a bit of drinking the boys got the munchies.. So us girls decided to go out and get them some taco bell. We took Ashley's truck... (This enormous dodge, with a diesel engine) We get to taco bell, of course the engine is SO LOUD that we have to turn the truck off at every window because it echo's through their intercom system... Every time you turn on the diesel engines, you have to make sure it is warm enough... so we sit for a bit and let the truck warm up.. we head out of the drive through and turn left onto the main drag....and the engine dies! Totally dead!! No lights, no steering, no heavy braking...no nothing... lucky there was enough battery for the hazard lights... but that is about it... Us three girls are trying to figure out if we should cry or laugh... we were only about a mile away from home... but... the truck was toast! We sat there for about 10 mins, and tried the engine again... nothing.. not even a click! so Ashley calls her hubby to let him know...that we are stranded... just as she calls him... a tow truck pulls in in front of us.. YAY!!!! the guy comes out and asks us whats wrong... we told him the story, he backs his truck up in front of us and tries to jump the truck... still nothing...sooooo he loads us up onto the back of his truck. Well first, he lets us know that there is only 1 seat up in his cab...so Barbara lets him know that we will be fine in Ashley's truck... so he tells me to lay down across the back seat, and ash and Barb to lean their seats back since its not technically legal for us to ride in the back . by then, we are in a giggle fit, we can barely breathe. As the tow truck lifts us onto the bed, it felt like we were on a roller coaster heading to the top of the ride about to plummet down! It was soo cool. so the ride starts, and we felt so top heavy.. it was a little bit scary.. after about 4 minutes we pull into barb's driveway..and their hubbies come out and as Josh (barbs hubby says) they just walk up to the truck..and the front seats pop up...with a red head and a brunet.. both leaning out of the windows saying.. Hi honey!!!  cracked them up so much (but they were both kind of drunk too) . so Steffen asks Ashley to try the truck.. Ashley turns the key...and the engine ROARS to life. Everyone was dumbstruck..even the tow truck driver.
Had to be the best New Years yet!
Kudos to the Truck driver for stopping to help us, it turns out he was on his way to help his sister, whose car was on fire, so thank you for helping us!
Oh, and the wedding was Beautiful! Congratulations Barbara and Joshua!
