The first two weeks of July the girls, our two dogs and I vacationed in Utah with Justin's family. We had a great time. I'll try writing about it later. Last Friday we all set off to come home and see Daddy and a little an hour after driving our air conditioner in the car stoped working and then Ariana started screaming that she had to pee and of course we are in the middle of no where. I pulled over on the side of the high way and smelled a burning rubber. Perfect! So Ariana peed for the first time on the side of the highway (by the end of the day we will have done that 3 times) We got back in and I wasn't sure what to do. To stay there and call AAA, it was really hot, over 100 or try to keep driving and hope even a little city would come soon. While talking to my Dad I decided to keep going and see if anything was close. If I didn't find anything in a few miles I'd pull over and call AAA. Fillmore was only a few miles down the road so we drove and got off and pulled into Carls Jr. We got towed to the local AAA shop. It turned out to be a busy day for the little company. The mechanic looked at the car and couldn't figure out what was wrong for awhile and then decided that the air compressor had a part that was broken. Bad news/good news for me is that part was just replaced a couple months ago! So if I could just make it home because everything else runs fine except the AC I could get it fixed for hopefully free but to make things worse my front windows are broken and can't roll down so even driving at night was out until we could get them down. My AAA membership gets me free tows up to 100 miles and Provo is about 100 miles from Fillmore. The towing company said they could tow us back but it would be a few hours. Ugh, I mean Yippy, hours out in the hot because we have to keep the dogs with us. We were VERY hungry at this point and a local cafe was recommended to us. We got there and ordered but soon found out that I was out of cash and the cafe only took cash or checks no credit or debit cards. Before we could cancel our order and try and find Carl's Jr. again my angel came to my rescue. A kind woman in brite green shirt jumped up and said "don't worry I got it". I was so over whelmed. I started crying. I was so grateful to not try and pack the girls and dogs back into the car. I was tiered and hungry just like my girls and our angel helped us just when we needed it. Our world can be a crazy place but I hope that I can be sensitive enough just like this woman was so that when someone else is in need I can be there for them. She didn't ask for anything she was traveling too to American Fork. Alexis who is normally shy around strangers even ran up and said thank you. Just thinking about it and writing about is making me tear up. Thank you traveling Angel you truly helped make a bad day better! (The picture is us in the tow truck driving back to Provo/Orem)
