Will we ever get to Tennessee!

So to start We Drove out here (together this time) And it was a LONG trip. It was suppose to take about 24hrs before you add in the stops. So I started the drive off so I could sleep at night. When we got into the mountains it was snowing! It was horrible. I have a fear of driving in the mountains anyway but then there was snow and it was dark, not my favorite!

So after that Dick took over and I slept. He drove through some good storms also. Then we finally got out of Utah and had good weather most of the way. It did rain a bit but I love rain so that was fine with me.

So we have been driving a while and we are closing in on our destination. We stopped and I took over. I am driving and just as I cross the border in the Arkansas The back left tire BLOWS! Awesome, Right? Of course I was driving at the the time and the car started shaking, so I pull over as soon as I can and sure enough the tire is F-L-A-T! Only about 180 miles left on our journey! So we unload the entire trunk so that we can get the donut out. and Dick puts it on. (Some nice Arkansas guy came and parked by us so we could use his lights to see.) Well just our luck it happens to be 9:30ish so there isn't a place anywhere that is open to replace a tire!

So he calls his papa for some advice and we end up driving about 20 minutes abd then stopping for ten. Finally we stopped at a gas staion I asked Dick to buy an air gage and check the donut(because by this time he is stressing about all the tires and driving on a donut)-(The gas staion was a treat in it's self! WoW, but I won't get into that) SO he checks and fills the donut and other tires and we start driving 30 minutes and stopping for 10 minutes between each 30 to make sure the tires don't get to hot.

So the 180 miles ended up taking a lot longer than they should have! We rolled into The Legends at Wolfchase Apartments at about 5AM! but we made it and we are safe!

The best part is we will never forget our journey getting here, right?!

Sorry I meant to take pictures but I well I didn't. SO pictures will come with the next post about Our Apartment!
