Well hopefully! I bought my ticket today to meet Matt in Hawaii. His leave hasn't been approved yet of course but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will. I got to talk to him for a little while yesterday and he said to go ahead an buy the ticket. So HOPEFULLY I'll get to meet him there. I also hope the anesthiologist that said he'll write me a prescription for Ambien for my flight will :)
So yesterday I learned the hard way that I should have paid attention all of those times my Dad tried to teach me something. I left my house a little early because I knew I needed gas. I also had a tire that had looked low for a week or so. I like to clump all of my errands together so I was waiting to air it up for when I got gas. I get to the gas station on base, get gas, check the pressure in my tire which was 32 and decide to put a little bit of air in it. I air it up, only it doesn't look like it did anything. I check the pressure again, 15. I'm no brain surgeon but I think if you only had 32lbs of pressure in your tire before you put more air in it than afterwards you would have a higher number. I'm stressed out and decide to drive on. Instead of turning around and getting Matts car, I drive off base and call my mom to see if she thinks i can make it 40 miles to work. She of course says NO! So I exit my route and pull in to a gas station. After going in and getting change for a $20 so I'll have the 75 cents it takes for air, letting a man who is buying a 6 pack of beer at 6:20 in the morning, my tire is aired up and I'm on my way to work!
All in a days work. ha

So glad you are meeting Matt in Hawaii, in Dec. Finally a well deserved Honeymoon. When i read this i was expecting a flat tire in the story, but it was a happy ending. and we love happy endings. love u sandy
What you are is lucky! One lucky duck! What would you have done IF the tire went flat? At 6 something in the morning, on a busy highway, quack, quack, quack!
I just know you'll have a honeymoon, and Hawaii, wow, cool!
Way to go Sid, you are a grown up - it takes experiences like the low tire to catch up on everything. I am so excited you get to have a great honeymoon!!!! Hang in there - Matt will be home before long!!! love, Auntie
Ok, ok, ok, just a reminder, go get a couple of cans of Fix A Flat!! Bobby would have a cow if he knew you didn't have a few spare cans in your trunk! You should be ashamed!!!
Hey, I'm working on your Christmas hats now!!
Honolulu!? How awesome! The life you lead!
