We got up, got ready and packed our stuff up. My gear came, but it was all the wrong colors, so the only things I can keep are my hood and bag. After I tried that stuff on we headed toward Kalamazoo. On the way down I worked on my blog and uploading pictures. We stopped at Justin's parents' house to get some stuff he needed for his whitewater rafting trip. We ended up staying for dinner and spending some time with them. Then we headed on to Kalamazoo. After leaving his parents' house, we weren't even out of Grand Haven when I had to pee, but it wasn't bad enough that I wanted to stop. I just wanted to get back to Kalamazoo and spend some time with the girls. (This is important, kinda.) Around Grand Rapids we noticed we had less than a quarter of tank of gas and Justin said we could stop, get gas and I could pee, but nope, I decided not to.
So we continue on to Kalamazoo. I worked on my blog and/or played Peggle the majority of the way. Well we made it to Kalamazoo, on the road to the 409, when all of a sudden Justin yells something (I don't even remember what) and *CRASH*. We slammed into the back passenger's side of a van. The air bags went off and broke my windshield. But it didn't close my lap top that was on my lap. I was covered in glass, but aside from that there was nothing wrong with either of us. Oh and do you have any idea how bad it smells when airbags go off?AWFUL.
I immediately called my parents, Justin had already called 911. Of course, it was raining as well, so not only were we wet, but it definitely made my urge to pee even worse. Mind you this we a good hour and a half since I decided I had to pee. Ok, continuing. While waiting for the cops to come we talked to the guy that lived across the street, he brought us an umbrella, nice neighborhood. Then I called my other love to come help us. She came and picked up my stuff, turns out there was so much crap in my car that we couldn't fit in the car once we put my stuff in it. While she was there a fire truck, two ambulances, two tow trucks, two cops, and seven personal vehicles of emergancy responders came. One of the kids in the other car said their jaw hurt. Yes, all that for a sore jaw. I found it to be rather ridiculous. So anyhow, they all left, we talked to the cop. The dumb lady in the other car was at fault, obviously, and got a ticket, thankfully.
My car was totaled, and we had to have it towed. Katie took all my shit. And Ben, Krissi and Blake came to pick Justin and I up. When we got back to the 409 I finally got to pee (nearly 4 hours later!). Then we moved all my stuff from Katie's car to Justin's car. Then Katie, Justin and I hung out for the night. Oh and we gave her the present we bought her. Toilet Seat Covers. lol. She hates public bathrooms and is crazy about it so we thought we would help her out.
