story time

a few weeks ago i ran out of gas. on the freeway :/
two weeks ago i was working monday and tuesday night from 3-11 and on wednesday from 8-10. on tuesday night driving home my gas light went on. i told myself when i was heading home i will stop for gas. yea that didnt happen, i was too tired and i had to work early in the morning. So i told myself i can get myself to and from work tomorrow then i will fill my tank. Well wednesday wasnt the greatest day, i got off work and i went straight home to bed. Thursday morning, i didnt have work and at around 2:30pm i decided to go and see Inception (btw. awesome movie) at the gateway. The showing was at 3:00pm and then next showing wouldn't be until 6:00pm when i would have to pay full price. So i rushed to Gateway, without filling my tank. After the movie i got in my car and the needle was barely on the E. sooo i thought i would be fine till i got home. Well i stopped at Fashion Place to get a pizza from California Pizza Kitchen and went on my way. I got on I-215 heading west got on the belt route to head south on I-15 and while i was going around the circle i saw a highway patrol man helping two people with the hood of their car up and said to myself "that sucks" WELL about 5ish yards after i press on the gas petal and I RAN OUT OF GAS!!! hahaha pulled over to the the tiny tiny part of the freeway (it was soo tiny that every time a car sped by, my car did not just wobble, it SHOKE! scary) so i called my family. My dad told me to call 911 (not that cool to call compared to when i was a kiddo) and ask for the highway patrol people because apparently they have people with gasoline to help the stranded people like myself. Well they finally came 30 minutes later and had no gasoline. The nice man told me he would wait with me until my nice older brother Nathan came to my rescue with a gallon of gasoline. and he did :)
I have to say i have such an awesome older brother even though we may not get along all the time you are the best older brother and sister could ever ask for. Love you Nate!
Moral of my story
when the light goes on. fill up. NOW!
