Wedding, Spring Break, Tire Blowout...

I always start these posts by reading my last entry. Sort of seeing where I left off and what I need to update on...

My birthday came and went. It really felt like I didn't have a birthday this year...sad, huh? Next year, I hope to have something big!

The roadtrip down to SoCal for the wedding was fun...the boys and I had a blast and brought home SEVERAL inside jokes. The wedding itself was beautiful; it's always amazing to see two people in love commit to spending a lifetime caring for one another! The ride home...now that was an adventure. If you weren't following the news, there was a HUGE freak storm over I-5 and over night, 13" of snow covered the grapevine (the only way to get to NorCal from SoCal using I-5). We ended up having to stay another night in L.A., the boys missed their classes/work. We didn't find another hotel to stay in until we had checked with approximately 10-15 others and driven another 30 or so miles west. We started the next morning out well rested and near the 101...we got home that evening, never more happy to be OUT of my car!

BS had his spring break from classes a couple weeks ago. We had an absolute blast. We watched sports, went to a bar in the bay area, saw some stand up comedy, hung out with friends, and just generally had a great time together! I love when we can have a good time just being with one another. This last weekend, we had so much fun just lounging and napping and we even went shooting with his uncle (which, by the way, made my shoulder ache for 3 days...gotta love shot guns! haha) This weekend is our anniversary. We'll have been together for 3 years on Saturday. It's amazing to think of a time when he wasn't in my life...he's my best friend and I can't imagine not being able to share our ups and downs with one another. :)

I can't wait for the weekend to come, especially after this crazy week. Monday morning, heading home from the Bay, I had a blowout. Well, technically it wasn't a blowout because my tire didn't actually blow...it just kind of shredded and fell off. Don't believe me? Here's the photo:

The rubber LITERALLY fell off.
I felt that the right side of my car was traveling over the lane reflectors much harder than my left side. Then my car started, sort of, fishtailing...it was very difficult to steer. I got the the next off ramp and looked in my side view to see what looked like my entire tire rolling away. Luckily, I was only 10 minutes from my boyfriends house and he came to my rescue. He came and put the donut spare tire on for me and sent me on my way. It took me almost 3 hours to get to work, driving under 55 MPH from the Bay to Sacramento. *so frustrating* But I made it and $124.09 later, I have another new tire...

That is the extent of my excitement...I still don't know if I'm losing or keeping my state job and moving out is a big question mark. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Happy Wednesday, readers :)
