47 days.
i haven't slept in my own bed for 5 days. it's been great. my entire family has been gone at a family reunion in kansas, so i've been sleeping at either britt or katie's house every night. on saturday i came home for a while to do some chores, and i danced in my underwear to bob marley. having a house all to my self = good times.
the fourth was fun. all the houston kids came down for britt's party. despite a few minor drawbacks, i'd say it was a good evening overall.
and now for yesterday's near-death experience: i'm driving back from bull creek with some girls from church. we're on 2222. i'm going about 65 m.p.h. that's exactly the moment my BREAKS decide to stop working. yeah, i'm pushing the pedal as hard as i can...we're barely slowly down at all. to top it all off we're on this really curvy part of the road. the emergency break just isn't doing its job. my car starts swerving into oncoming traffic. at this point, of course, my heart is beating faster than it ever has in my life. i'm yelling profanities and praying all at the same time. during this potential death scene, there's a certain welsh girl in the back laughing hysterically. i manage to get the car back under control. my breaks still aren't working, but i make it to HEB. mr. cheline and jordan come to the rescue and all is well. the moral of this story: leaving your emergency break on is not a good idea.
