my first break down

So yesterday, we just got back from our week long vacation in San Diego (another post with pics to come). When we got back we were unloading the car and then I got in our car to pop the trunk (because we don't have a key to open it you have to use the button). Well to my surprise the trunk wouldn't open and nothing else would turn on either. The battery was completely dead!!! Apparently the car door had been slightly open the entire time we were gone, which left the light on and completely drained our battery. So Jameson and his dad took the jumper cables and jumped the car...
Since I needed gas, the plan was for me to drive my car to the station, leave it on while I filled it up and then drive it back to our apartment. Which, all of this is within short distance and I didn't think it would be a problem. Well, no one told me as I was driving to the station I wasn't allowed to turn the air on in the 110 plus degree weather. So I did, and when I was at the intersection waiting for the light to turn (which is literally at the corner of the station) the car all of sudden shut off. I was stuck at the front of the intersection with no clue what I was suppose to do.
As traffic kept approaching I called Jameson, who didn't answer, and then I called his parents. His mom answered I told her what happened and she had Glen meet me at the corner. While I was waiting, I didn't know what to do with my car because I had no lights to turn on my flashers and I was afraid to get out thinking someone might hit me. Luckily, this really nice guy, who also teaches traffic school and is a safety instructor for the ASU saw me and came over to help me. He just got done teaching school and told me exactly what to do. Since I didn't have any flashers he popped my hood and told me I needed to stand on the corner in the shade and wait while he called the police. There was no way I could get my car out of traffic and out of the intersection without extra help.
So finally Jamesons dad arrived and shortly after the cops arrived. They had to stop the traffic as Jamesons dad put my car in neutral and another cop pushed my car into the gas station. Sadly, by the time I got over there the cops and the gentleman who helped me were gone. So not only do I know their names I did not get to thank them. What a way to get back into the real world after vaccation!! I'm just glad people are there at the right time to help in a time of need. It just reassures me that no matter how many things go wrong Heavenly Father is always watching and is always there to help us.
