Jackie to the Rescue

So as i mentioned in my previous post, Kevin plays basketball everything Thursday night. He drives down to Rigby and hitches a ride with Eric to Idaho Falls. Well I get my normal call close to midnight came saying "ok i'm on my way home". "OK great, i'll see you soon". Well last night i received a second phone call. Kevin had ran out of gas! Luckily he made it only about 1.5 miles from home. So i threw on some clothes, put my contacts back in, and gave the car like a second to warm up and was on my way. We pushed the car over to the shoulder, the plan was originally to just push it over to Cheveron, but it looked closed. So we pushed the car to the shoulder, drove over to maverick, bought a little gas can, filled it with $3 of gas and drove back to the freeway on ramp, put the gas in the car and we were on our way. I followed him to Maverick again so he can fill up completly and i just topped off my tank, i was going to do it today anyway. So there we were at 1:20am freezing, filling up both cars with gas. So then we got home i took out my contacts and went right to bed. I fell asleep in about 15-20 mins, but i woke up at 4:30am and noticed Kevin wasn't in bed yet. So i go out to the living room, there he is under 3 blankets asleep in the beanbag. So i woke him up and took him to bed. What a night.

Oh, i did make it to the gym barely yesterday. I was so tired after work that i said "if i don't go now, i won't make it." So i went home changed and left for the gym. It was much harder last night then the previous night. But it was good.

Wow what a night! Glad that it turned out ok~! Maybe next time the gas gage will mean more when you look at it ;o)

Why did he fall asleep on the beanbag?

He is too awake to come to bed so instead of just laying there he will go put in a movie or something and just fall asleep. Plus we don't have a couch, we have two beanbags. they are SO comfortable that you can't help but fall asleep in them. They are the size of "love sacks" (sp?) they fit two people in them.
