Stranded...

For Christmas Marc's parents gave us a gift card to a sushi place we like. Since we got back, it has been burning a hole in our pockets and we have been wanting to use it. We went for lunch a few Saturdays ago, but to our surprise, they are closed for lunch on Saturday. We finally were able to go on Friday night. Marc's gas light came on while he was driving home from work. We had driven plenty of times from Rexburg to Idaho Falls to use our points at Albertson's without a problem, what difference would it make? Well, we miss judged the distance, and the amount of gas, for the record, I was not in the car when the light came on! On our way to the gas station, on the freeway, our car started downshifting. There was nothing we could do. The battery light came on too and we were worried that it wasn't the gas. Luckily Marc's parents live about 10 minutes from where we were. They brought us a gas can with a gallon of gas. We made a dash to the gas station and filled up the rest of the way. Luckily there weren't a lot of people on the road when we started slowing down and we were able to get the the shoulder. Ironically enough there were two cars in front of us fixing a tire and one of the guys cam over to make sure we were ok. We waited about 20 or 30 minutes in the car, but it gave us more time to chat! It was quite the adventure for sure! Now the rabbit has a full tummy and hopefully we will be smart enough to not run out of gas again! It sure made for a fun story though!
