Good news, bad news

So, Friday night was Josh's first camp out with the scouts. It was also our first night apart since getting married. I was completely scared, mainly because I'm a big baby when it comes to that stuff. Well, he left for the camp out two hours before I would get off work. Of course the one night we couldn't go do something, I got off an hour early. As I was driving home, Josh called me and apparently they still hadn't left. He needed a lantern, which just happened to be in the car, so I'd be able to see him before he left! Yay! So I settled in at home, caught up on some shows (lazy, I know). About 8:00, Josh called me from the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon. A piece that we just recently fixed on the jeep, had broken again, and he was overheating. So I picked up the piece and some more antifreeze and met him at the canyon. I drove back home, and settled into my previous mode, quite ready to fall asleep. Fortunately, I didn't. Josh called about an hour later, same issue. So I went back out there, ready to bring Josh home. Another scout leader picked up the boys and took them up to camp. I was so excited that I wouldn't have to sleep alone! I felt bad that Josh didn't get to go camp and that his jeep was broken, but I was too happy to feel too bad.
Saturday morning Josh and I went to tow the jeep back to our house and he began tearing it apart. A few hours later he came to the conclusion that he'll have to take it to the mechanic. We now have a torn apart jeep in our garage until we can tow it to a mechanic.
What an adventure, life stays interesting!

Boy you and Lacie are very similar that way. She has a very hard time when I leave too. She's such a wonderful wife. I can totally see poor josh getting stuck and trying everything he can to fix his jeep though. Reminds me of the good old days.
