This last Friday, Taysom and I decided to go on a road trip to Idaho Falls. My Uncle Marlow's Mother passed away and they were having a funeral for her Rigby. My mom was going to go up to it and so I decided we'd go over too.
I decided I would take Vaughn's car since he would have the three other kids and it turned out it was not a good choice on my part. I was probably 40 minutes into the two hour drive when I realized that the car was not getting warm. Taysom was bundled up in his car seat and I really wasn't that cold, so I decided to just keep on going.
By the time I got to Idaho Falls I was frozen!! I couldn't really move my fingers and my toes...oh boy! They were icicles! I sent out a post on FB asking if anyone knew of any mechanics open for the next day, a Saturday, and literally in no time at all, I received a call from an old friend that grew next door. He lives in Idaho Falls and had been contacted by his sister in-law that saw my post. He was so very kind and asked if I had a place to stay and if I needed a ride. I told him I was ok and with my mom. He told me of some places to go and if I couldn't get it figured out that he could fix it for me. I was so grateful for his willingness and told him I would let him know, but I was sure I could get it figured out with the information he gave me.
Don't mind the gross dust on the dash!
The thermostat broke and it has a fail safe feature that just turns off the heat, so the car doesn't overheat.
Saturday morning we drove out to Driggs to go to the funeral. We got there early enough to go to the viewing and for me to feed Taysom before it started. Right after I fed him he had a MAJOR blowout! It was everywhere!! I finally got him changed and back into the chapel just as it was about to start.
Taysom and I headed home after eating lunch at Jimmy Johns with my mom and decided that in the day time it wouldn't be as cold, and so I could make it home and not freeze. I couldn't have been more wrong! I was almost frozen before I even got to Pocatello! Taysom was bundled up nice and cozy in his car seat and he slept the whole way there and back.
When I got back to Jerome, my legs and toes were dark purple!! It seriously took all night for me to get the full feeling back in them! Even with all of this, I am glad that we went. We had fun and it was nice to see some cousins and my aunt and uncle.
So I think this church outfit of his is cursed! After getting home, I scrubbed the outfit and got it all nice and clean for him to wear the next day. Right when we got home he had another blow out!! This kid and his blowouts. Seriously, so gross!
