I found out Thursday morning that my Escape had water in the fuel lines, which had frozen up in the -20 degree temperature outside. The best way to get it to run right again was to put some fuel additive in and run the tank empty... what better way to do that than a 3 hour road trip!?!? :)
Thursday night my father and I rode into Hospers for Mexican at "Boxcars", the bar. Had a few drinks, laughed some laughts, and told stories. Yesterday morning my mom colored my hair, as I was looking to do something new. I now have brown, red, and bleach blonde hair... but it's not as dramatic as it sounds. :) I actually really like it. Last night I went to the Unity Christian High School homecoming basketball game with my dad and my sisters. It was a good time to be back in the old halls of UCHS and to revisit many memories that were made throughout the halls and rooms. Cassie and Sara both laughed at some of the stories I was telling them. Oh well, so my high school memories are different than theirs! So what. After the basketball game the girls didn't feel like attending the homecoming dance so we went to the theatre and hit up the movie "Parental Guidance." .... TOTALLY worth seeing. It had a very good family based story with some very clean humor. Even though dad kept falling asleep (I guess 9:30 is past his bedtime) we all had quite the laughter coming from our bellies.
Today I went out for "coffee" with an old high school friend and again, we had a nice 1.5 hour chat about high school, work, and general life stories. It was a good time to catch up and be able to relax and share good times with each other.
My sisters and I ran to the library this afternoon to pick up some movies to watch tonight. We got the movie "Lion King 2." I don't recall seeing this movie before so I was okie dokie about it. While watching the movie a song called "We Are One" was playing as part of the movie and as I listened to the song, I realized what it was really saying...

As you go through life you'll see There is so much that we Don't understand And the only thing we know Is things don't always go The way we planned But you'll see every day That we'll never turn away When it seems all your dreams come undone We will stand by your side Filled with hope and filled with pride We are more than we are We are one If there's so much I must be Can I still just be me The way I am? Can I trust in my own heart Or am I just one part Of some big plan? Even those who are gone Are with us as we go on Your journey has only begun Tears of pain, tears of joy One thing nothing can destroy Is our pride, deep inside We are one We are one, you and I We are like the earth and sky One family under the sun All the wisdom to lead All the courage that you need You will find when you see We are one
When I got to thinking I realized that a simple children's movie had me amazed at the lessons that were hidden within it. I am almost excited to go out and rend a ton of Disney movies and watch them just to see the things that I never realized as a kid. The lessons hidden within the movies amaze me. I am excited to watch more kids movies so I can learn, as a 22 year old, the lessons of life.
