Flat Tire

Today was quite a day. Its 2:30 am and I just got home. After Jummah, AF, FM and I went out to lunch and then went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. (Awesome movie but that’s not the point of the post, if you've already seen it make sure to tease HS about telling her what happens :P) Anyway, so AF, HS and I were supposed to go to Tucson for a MAS meeting. We ended up leaving later than scheduled because we caught a later movie showing. We were in a hurry because we were already late and we told BF that we were almost there even though we had just left. When we were about half way there we heard a noise, so we pulled over and sure enough we had a flat.

Alhamdulillah I know how to change a tire so I wasn't too panicked. We took everything out of the trunk and got out the spare only to realize that thanks to HN, there was no jack. This just so happened to be well after Maghrib so it was pretty dark and we were just chillin on the side of the road. We tried to get someone to stop, but after many tries of flailing my arms in the air nothing worked. AF tried to call DPS, but unfortunately we had no idea where we were. It didn't help that the lady on the phone was a complete moron either. HS and I started walking to find out what mile marker we were on when we realized someone had finally stopped. Alhamdulillah he was a really nice older man who helped tremendously. But he kept yelling at us for being too close to the road. He also pretty much gave us a nice lecture about tires as well. After he finished, the DPS decided to show up.

Alhamdulillah we got to Tucson safe and sound. The meeting was interesting. We had some fun, got to see ZH, MH, AA and a bunch of other girls. We finally made it home after having to drive 60 the whole way.
