St. George...

We had our annual trip to St. George to judge the dance competition last weekend. My mom and Coop and Bay, Brooke, Shannon and Ava, Courtney and Michelle, and Mandy and I all judged together! Except this year, the way down was a bit more eventful... Mandy and I were just driving along peacefully, 8 miles away from Beaver at about 12:30 in the afternoon, when all of sudden I look down to an unfriendly little light on my dashboard. It was a little yellow thermostat. What the? It's a pretty new car, and we've never had any problems with it. but then all of a sudden, the light turned red! So we decided we should probably pull over. Mandy pulled out the owner's manual to find that stupid thermostat light and what we should do about it. In the mean time, a police officer pulled up and knocked on the window... "What's going on laides?" Whatever, and then he left, so we called mini and they told us not to drive it or it would warp the engine. So my awesome husband Brad called road side assistance for us while Gary was on the phone with mini. I was on the phone with my mom who was in St. George to see if she could come get us=) We were supposed to be at Dixie High at 3:30, and it was probably 1:30 now. So finally (after we RAN down I-15 in the snow to find a mile marker), a tow truck pulls up, but don't worry, we didn't have a ride to Beaver yet... So Mandy and I climed in the cab with the tow truck driver=) Come to find out, we could have stayed in the mini. He was way nice though, and he knew some of Kayelyn's relatives that live in Beaver! (Good old Vern, he's known for his yodling.) So he took us to the repair shop and we just sat in the waiting room cleaning out our wallets and purses for 2 hours! We met some other people in there though, and her daughter graduated from Woods Cross (It was Sasha Lira's mom, for anyone that knows her). Well then my mom came to the rescue! Except she had to drive my cousin Shannon's car because my sister's car was overheating too! So we finally pulled into Dixie High at 5:30 pm... only a couple of hours late=)

After we got there, and the competition was over, we did some shopping (of course), and the boys went to preisthood. and the weather on Sunday was perfect! Bradand I went out and laid on a blanket to read a book and hang out on the grass=)All in all it was a pretty fun weekend=) and Thanks Mand, I would probably be dead on the side of the road somewhere if you weren't there! Love you!
