Did that just happen?

Two blogs in one day....watch out!! lol. 

Two events happend today that I MUST share with you. Both I can't believe they really happened, but they did. Here goes:

1. Olivia had to pee outside today at a rest stop. We were on our way to Chester to Reid's Harvest House after church this morning. In Ellis Grove, she said she needed to potty. We didn't know what to do because there is NO WHERE to stop between Ellis Grove and Chester. We came across a small rest stop and decided to pull in. We noticed when we pulled in that there was a board over one of the doors, but we thought that maybe it was just to hold the door shut or something. We were wrong. Both doors were boarded shut...I guess because they don't want to pay someone to clean them anymore or something. Well, they need to put a sign up or something because There is mass amounts of fecal matter, urine, and toilet paper/paper towels wadded up and in the corners of the outside of both of the bathrooms!!!!! EEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!  We were not about to have Olivia try to potty on top of that so we took her away from it and as cars are driving by on the highway, here are Ryan and I holding Olivia  so she can pee without getting her clothes wet. Ryan had her arms, I had the feet. BAHAHAHA!   It was the funniest sight I've ever seen!  Too bad we were both needed to help her potty, because if not, I would have had Ryan tape it to embarrass her later in life!  (LOVE YOU LIVY!)


2. We were nearly ran off the road by a semi  today. As we were on our way to Chester, by their golf course, a large semi was coming around the corner. There was a bicyclist on the semi's side of the road, but they were in the rocks off of the road. The semi could have easily slowed down and gone around the cyclist without having to swerve, but because they weren't paying attention (most likely texting) they swerved into our lane causing Ryan to swerve into the curb and into the grass to avoid getting smeared across the high way!  Yep...no joke, it really happened!  We were thankful that God was watching over us to help guide our car in the proper place on the road to avoid an accident. I even told Ryan that someone was there with him helping him drive, because it didn't even feel like the tires left the highway. It was a very smooth transition from road, to curb, to grass, to curb, to road, that it almost felt like we were being guided.  Thank You Lord for saving our lives today!

  1. That is crazy. Happy you guys are okay. That bathroom thing is disgusting. Good thing I have a boy and he just pees in a peanut butter jar if we are on the road and then we clean it out with bleach and reuse it.
