i had a fun filled weekend.
Sarah and i went up to the U.P. to see her family and to go to Winter Carnival. they have these snow carvings that are as tall as buildings that have amazing detail. like chain link fences made out of ice and the castle from the little mermaid made out of snow, just amazing. The U.P. is beautiful, it really is.
the weekend was fun and sarah's family is very nice, it was the drive there and back that was more...interesting
on the way there we ran out gas on the side of I-75. so we called AAA for a guy to bring us some gas and half way through the conversation my phone died. so i got out to go and check what mile marker we were by, i wasnt sure if it was 254 or 274. if it was 254 it would have only been a mile walk to a gas station, if it was 274 then woud have been a 5 mile walk. someone driving by was nice and called the police and a nice police women took us to a gas station and took us back to the car. that was all and we got there ok
on the way home we managed to do bit more damage. now sarah is a good driver and this was not her fault. but we were getting into the onside lane and hit a patch of ice, at which point the car lost its grip on the road and slid in the outside lane and then on the solder. now at this point i was thinking that now we would have to restart it and get back on the road and i didnt want to deal with anything that might be wrong. then the car rolled over and you can imagine what i was thinking then. when the car was upside down the windshied popped right out. the car stoped on its side kinda and then it righted its self, when it was on its side i half slid half fell out the windshield, which was no longer there. sarah and i were both fine,we both have a few cuts and lots of sore muscles. beucase i didnt have on my seat belt the ems guy took me to the hospital strapped to the backbroad and evyerthing. after lots of xrays they decided that i hadnt broken my back, i could have told them that. like i said we are fine. the car was totaled though. we called my parents and they drove up to grayling, where we were, and got us and brought us back here. i think they had a harder time with it then i did, i was just very very happy to be alive. sarah and i both got tickets, goddamned ass hole of a cop, as if i didnt realize i should have been wearing a seatbelt, im the one who fell out the windsheild of a car!
anyway like i said, a action filled weekend. rest assured that sarah is not a maniac behind the wheel, not that she had a car at this ponit.
by the way christine i am realy happy for you and eric
