Rain




Yesterday was a beautiful rainy day here in San Antonio. We had our first real full day of rain on Thursday since Alan and I have moved here. This is probably due to hurricane Dolly. Its rained maybe three times before but they were just 10-2o min spurts and that was it for the day. I was so happy to see the rain. That probably sounds weird, but it didn't rain much in Rexburg and being from Washington I feel like I am in need of more rain then most people. Luke and I did have a scary experience in the rain though, when I had to drive to the store in it. It was pouring and I had to turn the windshield wipers on high. Just before we had to turn on the street that the grocery store is on the windshield wiper on the drivers side broke and was no longer clearing the rain off. So here I am driving on a very busy road that is extremely slick, I can't see anything in front of me and Luke is yelling at me from his car seat. I was frazzled. I knew we couldn't make it to the store, so I found a place to turn around. I moved into the right hand lane so people could pass, but the problem with that was the right lane was full of water, so not only is it pouring but the car is just getting covered by the big puddles of water. I had to go about 25 mph on a 45 mph to make it home safely, but we did make it home and I still like the rain.
