Mother's Day Mishap

What a crazy weekend! William and I woke up early last Saturday and got all of his things together and packed for his 2-week trip to Elizabeth City. He had to go for one week back in October and he'll have to go for another week this November but for this month he will be there for TWO WEEKS. That's half a month. Yikes. He has to do a course called CPE (community practice experience) where all the students rotate with their assigned physician somewhere in NC. He loves where he was placed and it's really nice that they get to rotate with the same physician all 3 times so they can establish a relationship.


Anywho, Saturday we went to my parents house to spend the night so that I could be with my mom on mothers day and so that William could leave Sunday. The trip is about 5 1/2 hours from our house in Winston but he likes to break it up (by staying the night in Raleigh) so that he only has to drive about 3 hours from there. I had already decided that I was also gonna spend the night on Sunday night to give me more time with my parents and just drive back Monday morning for work. So on Mother's day I went to church with my mom and then out to eat with my family afterwards (here's a picture of my mom and I at church):

We were all relaxing at home and my phone rang and William was freaking out saying that his tire had just blown out while he was driving over an overpass. Of course I start freaking b/c he was freaking and my parents and I hopped in the car and drove out to meet him where he was pulled off the road. The spare tire in his trunk was worthless and of course everything was closed b/c it was like 6:00 on mother's day sunday and so my dad changed his tire and he had to drive all the way back to my parents' house. Everything was closed so we had no option except for waiting until Monday morning to get it fixed. We got everything handled monday morning and William got to Elizabeth city around 3:00. I just took the day off and spent it with my mom and grandma after he left and I drove straight to work this morning. It was a crazy weekend and I'm glad that William finally made it safely. I'm also glad that I got to spend time with my mom and even though we had that mishap the attention was not shifted from my her so it was still a successful mother's day!
