Kate and I both showed up in stripes which was kinda funny.
We had a great time, found everything on our lists, had a great long lunch, and had checked out around 4:40. I stayed with the cart so Kate could pull around the vehicle to load the big stuff. She had borrowed her aunt's car since the crib and mattress wouldn't fit in hers. Apparently, while we were shopping, on of the tires was leaking air. The rear driver's side tire was completely flat. This nice gentleman (below) and even another one stopped and tried to get the spare on for us. Neither of them could figure out how to even get the spare tire out from underneath the car. Then, it started raining. Not just a sprinkle or regular rain, but a torrential downpour complete with lightning, etc. We sat in the car trying to call for roadside assistance. They asked us to get the VIN off the front of the car. We both tried to read it off the car, but the rain was coming down so hard you couldn't see a thing. All we managed to do was soak ourselves in the process. We finally found the title certificate in the glove box and found the VIN there. Why didn't we try that first, you ask?!? Well, we're stupid, I guess! The rain slowed down a bit after about 20 minutes and we headed back in for a snack and bathroom break. Thankfully, Kate's parents only live about 20 minutes from there and they were able to come stay with her and wait for assistance. I headed home around 6:00 in more heavy rain.
Kate ended up having to stay at her parent's that night because they couldn't get the original tire fixed until the morning and none of us wanted her driving 2 hours home on a spare tire.
The rain finally slowed about 30 minutes from home and the sun began to shine through. It was a good sight to see. Although the evening was a bit stressful, it was still a great day!
