the 'start' of our adventure

Here we go. Miriam and i started on our adventure monday morning. we took cebre along to drop her off with cassy in sacramento. in williams, there were some mexican boys with a stand of watermelons. we decided to stop and get one cuz we knew that it would totally make their day. we did so and as we drove away, they all yelled to us that they wanted our numbers and proceeded to yell their numbers to us. it was so funny. we definatly were the highlight in their day.

this is us three-cebre, miriam, and me. this was in auburn where we dropped cebre off. it was rediculously hot. for us humboldt girls, 97 is pushing it.

and here it is. this is what happened when we started climbing the mountains up toward truckee. we broke down on the side of the road the first time. the car made a clicking sound and when we pulled over the car had overheated. we got some water for it and after driving another 15 minutes up the road, we limped into a gas station and the car had overheated again. the nerve! that was about 2:30pm and it wasnt until 6 that we were finally saved. between 2:30 and 6, we had made so many phone calls that we wanted to throw our phone off a cliff.(not seriously mom, its her phone.)
sister cherrys sister in law drove from lincoln(north of sac) to rescue us. she drove all the way out there to get us. she took us home and fed us and put us up. she was so awesome. she saved our lives!!
Jared drove out to get us on tuesday, picked us up at about 6 and then we drove all the way back to salt lake. we didnt get home until 4:30am on wednesday. it was one of the most crazy things i think i have been a part of.
after getting to car back to the airport rental place, packing all our stuff into the house, and getting settled down we finally went to sleep at 6:15am. we had to get up at 9:30am to go to provo for miriams interview at the MTC. we were running on not very much juice. we are insane but man this is going to make the best story later...
"hey remember that one time we tried to drive all the way to utah on almost no sleep and broke down? then in three days got less than about 5 hours a night? good times."
"remember that one time we went on that date that jared set us all up on and it ended up being a huge flop and half the girls flaked and we ended up watching 'the gods must be crazy' instead of boarding the canyon?"
"remember that one time when we were staying in provo with jared, we decided at 2 in the morning that we wanted to go out and lay in the parking lot and watch the stars and didnt come back in until 3:30?"
"remember when we drove for 20 minutes around orem looking for the jamba juice before realizing that it was in provo then decided instead we would get ice cream from the gas station?"
"remember jareds roommate had the sweetest motor bike in the world and went to put gas in it just so we could ride it around the parking lot? good good times."
"remember we went shopping in provo and got matching american eagle jeans and scored them for 25 bucks each!!?!? yeeeahh!!"
"this one time we were walking to the campus post office and we went by a shop that had a tandum bike and we asked the guys if we could test ride it and they totally said yes. miriam was nice enough to let me drive. one of the best bike rides of my life!!! and we had a random guy take a picture of us!! awesome..."

this was the on the walk that we took at monicas house when we had to wait all day for jared to drive out to get us. we were feeling a little cooped up in the house so we went on a walk in our pjs and our stylin' glasses!!! it was sweet!!!
