Kaz HE said so...: North Carolina Road Trip...

If you know me really well, you know that I love my bed! My bed is really the only nice thing I own and well, I think it is the most comfortable thing on earth :) As you know, I'm leaving for 2 years and won't need it (sadly, I can't take it with me - believe me, I would! :) I've wanted to give it to Tommi and her husband and the only way we could get it to NC was to drive it up. So my roommate and I set out a week and a half later with a trailer (with my bed) hitched to the truck and drove the 13 hours to North Carolina! I had a blast and made a lot of unexpected new friends through Tommi and her husband! It was a great time of fun and fellowship and I am so glad that it worked out that way! (Although, I'm still a bit sensitive about giving up my bed...haha) We didn't run into any problems with the drive until the last 7 hours! We were pulling out of Athens, GA and as I glanced in rearview mirror and noticed the trailer was completely lopsided! Yea - one of the tires on the trailer was totally flat! Thankfully, Tommi's father in law was there to help us - it only took an hour or so!! haha!

Funny Story: We stopped at starbucks on the way back from North Carolina to caffeine up after we got the tire changed. As we walked out to the car - I grabbed the keys and attempted to turn on the car. The key would not budge! We sat there for 20 minutes and tried over and over again to start the truck - no such luck! After a few more minutes, I looked at the keys closely and noticed that my jump drive was on there. I dug through my purse and pulled out another set of keys - yes - the keys to the truck! Yes, I am a big dork and didn't notice we had been trying with the wrong keys the whole time BUT I would like to redeem myself (or try to) with the fact that the keys themselves were exactly the same along with the keychains on the keys! The only difference was that I had a jump drive on mine and Ren had a grocery store card on hers! You can laugh at me - its okay - I laughed :)

Ren and I at the Marine Corp Fair - on the zipper :)
