Spontaneous, Party of 3!

Last Saturday morning, Landon, my sister Janelle, and I went to my cousin's baptism in Kaysville. While enjoying lunch afterward, my aunt mentioned that we were only 4 hours away from Boise. I didn't realize we were already an hour and a half on our way! It was my dad's birthday, so we had the perfect plan: GO TO BOISE! There was little time for deliberation. We didn't have any luggage, but we didn't care! We drove!

We let my sister who lives at home in on the secret so that she could make sure the parents were home at 5. She called us panicked at 4 saying that they were going to the temple. In the middle of our panic, our car started puttering. We pulled over to the side of the road as the car died. Landon pulled out our emergency jumper cables but to no avail. Spontaneity decided to bite us in the be-hind. Melanie gave us the number to the temple, and we called. By some miracle, my parents were just going past the recommend desk as we were calling. We told my dad we were 45 minutes away, and he left to save the day.

The tow truck man was very kind, and Landon fell in love with yet another small town, Mountain Home. My dad met us at the repair shop and everything was right again. Because the repair shop was closed over the weekend, our quick trip became a bit of an extended stay, and considering we had packed absolutely no luggage, that was rather amusing. We had so much fun though! We successfully surprised my dad on his birthday and got to relax with the fam for several days. We got to meet with Elder Nattress of the Seventy who was doing some training with my dad on Sunday. We had tests and homework the next week, but since we didn't bring any homework, we've just been able to relax and have fun together. SO GREAT! Turns out it was just the fuel filter, so the repair was pretty inexpensive, which is fabulous. On the way back, our windshield wipers decided to stop working, so driving through the snow and rain storm was slightly terrifying, but it was SO WORTH IT! It was a great weekend!!! SPONTANEITY ROCKS!!
