This last weekend was certainly an eventful one. On Thursday, my mom, Noah, and Tori came down from Colorado for Tori's Senior Prom at Liahona (if you want more details of that, I'm sure my mom will post about it soon if she hasn't already). We didn't see them then, but had plans to visit and go out to dinner on Friday.
Friday morning was spent looking at houses (more about that will be mentioned in another post) and finishing our small "spring cleaning" project we had started a couple days before. It was almost eleven a.m. when Adam noticed that he missed a call from my mom and had a new voicemail. My phone also had a missed call. He began to listen to the message at the same time I called her back and we exchanged looks as we both knew from her tone that something was wrong.
It turns out that Noah went out to the van that morning and saw that the back right tire was flat. All the way to the ground. We grabbed our jack (which ultimately was not used) and rushed to their aid.
We didn't need to rush. With all the visiting we were doing, we didn't even get to the tire for an hour. That was when we found the good-sized pebble lodged very deep into the bald tire. There was no fixing it, so Mom called her favorite tire guy and said she needed two new tires (the other back tire was bald too and she didn't want to risk it on the way home). She said she could get the van there using a spare from one of the many cars at her disposal, which didn't work out.
So we took the flat tire in to replace it, took it back to the van, put it back on, then drove the van over for the other tire to be replaced. That happened just after four p.m. so we decided to go to dinner (just my mom, Adam, and I) while the van was worked on.
We went to Red Robin, one of Adam's favorite places and had a wonderful dinner and great conversation. After that, we had Mom come over to our place to visit and it was well after 8 when we finally said goodnight.
So, we had a great time spending most of the day with Mom and the kids and are looking forward to seeing them again in May.
