Heading home

Dec 18

Today we headed to Othello for the holidays. We’re planning on going to my mom’s for about 5 days and then to Eric’s parents’ for about 5 days. Eric and I got up late today so we didn’t get out by 11 as we’d planned and I forgot to get the oil changed in the car so we really didn’t get out when we’d planned. Eric took the car to get the oil changed while I finished getting everything packed up and ready to go for our trip. Baylee was running around wondering what was going on too. I’d just gotten back from Boston and I think she was worried I was heading out somewhere else again. When Eric got home we loaded the car with everything, even the dog, got in the car to go and it wouldn’t start. Argh! So we called Eric’s dad and figured/hoped it was the battery. Eric went across the street to the neighbors, Brian’s, and got jumper cables to try and jump my car. We jumped the car and sure enough everything worked. SO we headed out at something like 2:30pm. It took us over an hour getting out of town because the roads were slick. Eric did a great job driving to The Dalles. At about The Dalles we changed places because the weather was getting really bad and the compact snow and ice is something Eric doesn’t feel comfortable in. I drove from there home. We went through bad snow storms and weather. There were a couple of times that it did get a little dicey too. I was so glad when we got to Othello safely.
