A couple of weekends ago we didn't have anything going on so I called Jenn to see if they were busy or if we could go see them and the new house. We decided that we wanted a relaxing weekend for all of us so we really didn't have a ton of sight seeing. Instead we explored their surrounding area and went swimming on Saturday. They have a neighbor hood pool that as a huge slide so Zane and I went down several times! It was alot of fun. We then went to a church with them on Sunday morning and really enjoyed the church. Aspen loved seeing all Jenn and Brian's dogs (especially River). We have to make the two of them stop because they get a little rowdy in the house. Zane and I decided we should probably head home a little early on Sunday (we never do that, we always wait till the last possible minute before we leave and head home). So we ate lunch after church and then headed home about 2:30. About an hour into our trip Zane starts noticing the tire pressure on the left front is saying low. So he starts watching it and finally after it continues to go down he stops at an exit that has a lot of stuff at it. We get gas in the truck and check the left front it is fine, nothing wrong with it. He starts checking all the other tires and realizes that it is the left back tire that is getting low. He goes inside the gas station and buys one of those tire pressure checkers (we never have one when we need it). All the tires are fine except the back left so we go put air in it. Then we start looking for a tire place to get it fixed. We soon figure out there is one right next to the gas station that was just a little sketchy looking so we see a GOODYEAR sign across the street. Now it is Sunday afternoon at 3:40 by this time and we are praying they are still open. We pull up and see they close at 4:00!! Awesome! Zane goes inside and talks to the owner and they can look at the truck and see what they can do. He explains that we have a dog in the truck and so we will just stay outside (in the heat) with her. The owner said no to bring her inside with us, he has his dog come into the office most of the time anyway. So we took her kennal inside and sat in the air conditioning waiting on the truck. We find out that there is a nail in the side wall of the tire that is not leaking but they can't pull the nail out and fix it. Our problem was a hole in the tread that they could fix. We decided to buy a new tire so that we didn't fix the part that was leaking and then the nail come out and us be in the same boat again. After about 1 1/2 hours we are back on the road headed home and what an adventure it was. It so cool to see how God takes care of us even in not so great situations. We left early so the business was still open. We were able to get off at an exit and not be on the side of the interstate. We stopped at the exit with a place to fix it. God definitely took care of us!
