eye opener

Well this weekend was an eye opener. It all started Friday when I got off of work and went home to change and get ready to a go a friend’s wedding. Jen was actually in the wedding so I was going to meet her there. Jen asked if her friend Vena could hitch a ride and I said sure. So after Vena found my place we went on to West Plains which is a like a Hour and half away.
Vena and I got there fine with out to much trouble. We did get lost but we found it and enjoyed the wedding. The wedding was great and the reception afterwards was also a fun time. I got Jen up to dance with me, I got her to actually swing dance. After that she said she like dancing with me. It was time to go home and I had a logn day at work and was planning on taking a nap before Vena and I left but didn’t. So, I drove tired and Jen didn’t her best to keep me up and I was doing my best keep up. As soon as me made to Springfield I was up because in when I’m in a city it is easier to keep up. We were almost home when at 65 mph the explorer went haywire and started to hydroplane. We were driving on hwy 60 at 12 or 1 in the morning. We went across the media on to the other lane of the hwy and the I over corrected to back across the median on across the lain to the shoulder towards a fence but stopping right before the fence. As soon as it we stated hydroplaning I was thinking, “Don’t flip, don’t flip” cuz explorers are easy to flip. As soon as we stopped I asked if everyone was ok. Jen was fine in front with me and Vena woke up as soon as we stopped. Vena didn’t have her seatbelt on which I didn’t know.
Then I went out to survey the dame to the explorer cuz we bottomed out two or three times going through the ditches. I got out prying it wasn’t to bad and it wasn’t. The passenger fog lap was hanging down and that is all that seem to be wrong. We got back an the ladies went back to Jen’s for the nite and I was going to look to see if there was anything else wrong with the explorer. Nothing was so I went to bed.
The next day, which was Saturday, I went to go see if I could fix the explorer. Vena forgot her umbrella so I called Jen telling her this and while talking with her I noticed and didn’t have a license plate on the front bumper. Jen said I should go find it. On the way I saw the hanging fog lap go spinning done the road in back of me.
Saturday nite Jen, our friend Jessica went to the skinny improve which was good but not as good as it was last time. It was poring cats and dogs. Then we went to meet Renee at the piano bar. It was fun and some more of or friends came and decided to go to icon and Jen stayed with me at the piano bar.
Sunday we went to church and afterwards went out to eat and then we went to look at open house, which we love to do after church. We saw four house and we liked 2 out of 4.
Jen came over for ice scream last nite but left early cuz her friend was still in town as was suppose to leave last nite but Jen called me around one it the morning telling me she hadn’t got back yet. I hope everything is ok. I will give her a call in a little bit.Me on the other hand am ok. I don’t’ know if I’m still in shock or if other stuff is on the mind but I can’t get my mind thinking straight. Everything happens for a reason and I just have to have faith in the One who is in charge of my life. I’m trouble by other things in life but this isn’t the place to talk about that. Life is just a little crazy these days a little more than I use to. So I’m just going with it seeing where it is going.
