Don't Party on Sunday - You Will Die

Two weeks ago Savanna, her sister Ciera, and I decided that we were going to take a small roadtrip (3.5) hours away with some friends to go boating for the weekend. We drove up to bear lake in Idaho Satuday and stayed until Sunday. I was one of the people that took their car up to the lake. I thought it would be no big deal since I drove it az twice, new mexico once, and Cali once this summer... and I didn't on the way up there.
Saturday night we all just hung out at the cabin but the next morning 8 of us woke up at 730 to get on the lake. Clay dropped us off on the lake but we couldn't get the rudder to drop... Long story short we were stranded in the lake for 3 hours and it was FREEZING!!! The boat was completely broken but it had gotten so windy on the lake with almost 4 ft waves that even if it wasnt broken it safe to stay on it anymore anyways. the boys spent all day trying to get the boat out of the lake, they eventually had to call in a tractor... which also broke when it got in the lake. Yeah.
When we finally got all that worked out and we were leaving my car was having problems all the way down...i shouldnt say all the way cuz it only worked about an hour of the way then it died.. completely died


Lets count that... the boat, the tractor, and my car all broke.


The boat was beached at this point




I needed to get a new car pronto stat! but no one was giving me a loan... so Katie (my boss) took it upon herself to help me get a car. She figured it all out and I was able to get a loan all by myself. Sweet huh. I towed the red car down to my bosses house in the mean time while I figured out what to do with it. I decided to donate it to a foundation that gives tax credit for broken down cars.

I bought a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am and I love it.
