Subject: my trip

Ok here is some about where I was and what I did.

As ya know we left on Friday. Well, Friday morning we get a call from Brian "One of our vans broke down so I am leaving a group and going to get some cars and such so we will be late". We were fine with that cause we were running a little late. I didn?t find this part out until I was in the truck with my Dad (dad and I always go in the truck and mom follows in the Prelude and we have our radios to talk to each other) but when my Dad was hooking up the trailer to the truck you have to put the tail gate down and backup a little and then ya gotta get out and close the tailgate or you run into the trailer (hope that made sense) but he also had a wood rod in the back, he thought hmm I should go make sure that pole isn?t gonna go in the trailer. so he got out thinking he was in park when in reality he was still in reverse so he took his foot of the brake and went backwards. Sticking the nice wood rod right into the trailer..opps! Big opps! Luckily it didn?t go all the way through. So we are about 45mins into our drive when my dad and I hear this BIG pop. Instantly we looked at each other and said "That was NOT good" and then we here mom on the radio screaming, "STOP STOP SLOW DOWN you blew a tire" (she said it was so scary, she could see all the smoke and tire pieces going everywhere!) Thank God (a million times), for a few things, first being that the road we drive has almost no shoulders at all and we had a shoulder to pull over on. This was the trailer tire that blew; normally they would both pop and had that happen the trailer (and problem the truck) would have flipped on its side. But all is ok cause we have the best AAA Tow package, ha *insert sarcasm* my mom called them on the cell phone and the lady kept saying "We don?t have a truck near you that can tow you" (the have HUGE truck tow rigs for semi trucks and such) mom kept telling her we don?t need a tow, we need a tire change! You can?t tow us with a flat tire, hello? Anyone home in your pea brain? Then they told us the don?t o trailer tires and that they will NOT send a truck..so my poor dad had to get out and do this, we didn?t have the right stuff to do it or anything. Someone how they said they would send a truck out but we cancelled when dad got it, but then had to ask them to come back cause the tire we stuck on didn?t have enough air in it, lol. The guy gets out and we told him what happened and he said, "That is absurd! I change trailer tires ALL the time" Ggrrrrr AAA will be hearing for us. Plus they had us on the cell phone on hold and such for 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!!
We finally arrived at out first church! Mom and set all the trailer up why dad went to tire shop to make a appointment to get all new tires, to be on the safe side for the rest of the trip, lol, but they said no we wanna do it today, so we had to "tear" everything back down and go to the tire store.
When we got back Brian and his group was there. The youth group worked so so so so so well! I have seen them at a work day before and I was worried that they were gonna be like they were that day and do nothing, lol. But they worked their butts off.

The name of the trip was Road Rules and they formed it after the real show. They had to teams and they got points by how well they worked, how fast etc and contest type things that me and my parents judged. They also did the little confessional thing they do on road rules and real world, pretty much just saying what happened that day and such, so that was cool.

We got along with Brian so well! It was so wonderful!!! We were shocked; I really think this brought us close together. It made it even better that Betsy wasn?t there cause we didn?t have her to help us stay in the comfort zone with him.

At the second church they didn?t have much work work to do the first day. The pastor asked them to hand out flyers for their VBS that is coming up. They gave one of the flyers to Brian and they flyer was not attractive or well put together so Bri asked me to work on one. So I did, took forever, and then of course he came in and changed almost all of it, lol, I felt like saying "Why didn?t you just do yourself in the first place" lol, it was cool though, he didn?t change all of it, I defiantly helped.

In the town of that church lives one of our family friends that we have known since before I was born, lol. So we called her up and she came for a visit, that was fun to see her again.

The next day the youth group worked until the afternoon and then packed up for the next church. At this point we broke off from then because they place they were going was in the mountains on a road that isn?t friendly to our trailer..BUT they didn?t have anough cars to get everyone there. Soo my Dad took a truck load up (the church bus was meeting them there, it had been in the shop). But before the youth left two of the guys were fooling around and one pushed the other and the other went through the wall..well, his butt went through the wall..and not just any wall, it was the wall they just got done remodeling grr so Daddy had to fix that. Brian made the two boys pay for it.

That night the fam friend invited us over to have dinner with them. We were supposed to be there at 6. Dad should have been home in plenty of time to make it for 6 but he wasn?t showing up, still not showing up, didn?t call. Our friend kept calling "find him yet?" Mom and I got really worried cause when dad is late he calls (granted he didn?t have the cell phone, but he would have called from the church). Brian had his cell phone ringer off so he wasn?t getting our calls, the church they were at wouldn?t answer the phone.. he finally showed up. They took all these extra long stops on the way up there and made them take forever to get there! He finally got back and we left right away for our friends. She made us a WONDEFUL dinner!!! But poor mom, she was so tired and then she was stressing so bad over dad that she made herself get a awful headache and nausea. She had to get up in the middle of dinner to go throw up, she was so embarrassed. She made this cool dessert, she told me "I am not gonna tell you what is in this and see if you can figure out what it is" turned out it was a strawberry layer, cream cheese layer, and then the crust was pretzels! It was soooooo good!!! Then we came home.

Next day mom went over to visit the friend by herself cause she knew she needed my mom one-on-one. Her husband is a really big jerk and always has been, she is the nicest lady, I love her. He is so bad to her. It made me sick when my mom told me that he had still been doing this stuff to her and that the night before was a whole show for us, ugh, men like him just need to be stuffed in a box and sent to Antarctica, lol.

Tomarrow we get new carpet in our trailer!!!! My dad is pulling up the carpet as we speak. He has to take all my shelves down in my room too, lol. Since there is carpet under that.

Ok I tired now, lol, took me a long time to write this, had to keep taking a break, lol
