Weeeeeeeellllll a little bit later Kenzie was misbehaving and she was like in her car seat just wailing annnnnd WEEEEEEL really SHOWING OUT!!! Now, you have to understand that the Karlson's nickname for me is Mar Dog...don't really know WHY, its just something Bro. Sam started called me waaaaaaaaaay back in the day and when he married Janelle she picked it up too....Soooooooo still imitating the voice of this mother i'm like, Kenzie, DISreSPEEEEEEECT!!!!

Now once we got back to the church I became a desert botanist for Jen!!!
I was telling her the name of all the Cacti!!! I'm like, okay this is a prickly pear, this is a barrel cactus... This is a Saghauro,
I was like sooooooo proud to know the names of everything...Liiiiiike I felt superrrr smart!!!! I mean, I grew up in Cave Creek sooooooooooooo basically, the desert was my hood growing up...I used romp through the desert in flip flops...I can't even begin to tell you just how many thorns I've gotten in me... A LOT!!!! Sooooooooo yeah, I'm just feeling like SUPERRRRR SMART!!!

I was like about to have a panick attack thinking that something was really wrong with my car...THE HUNK...buuuuuut it turned out that someone...NOT ME...hadn't clasped their door shut all the way...LOL...sooooo they tried to jump it buuuuut the jumper cables in the church van were USELESS....buuuuuuuut after they got another pair annnnd like an hour later...THE HUNK roared to life...*oh be still my beating heart!!!
.
THEEEEEEEEEENNNNNN... We rushed Jen to the airport annnnnnd she said she made it to her gate, JUST IN TIME!!! Not gonna like tho...I wouldn't have minded if she had missed it and had to stay with me for a while longer!! Your welcome back ANY time Jen!!! Everyone in my church thinks your AWESOME!!! Annnnnd of course I PROMISE Italian food!!! :))))
Anywayz, the NEXT morning at church, Pastor was concerned about my car!!! He's like, so did it start up ok today! I'm like, oh yeah, there wasn't ACTUALLY anything wrong with the car...I'm like, ya know, i'm not really pointing fingers anywhere, buuuuuut its just cuz one of the doors didn't clip shut on the car soooo the battery went dead... I continue talking to pastor, of course I'm fiiiiiiiine with it because I know it was just an ACCIDENT and ACCIDENTS HAPPEN...buuuuut I'm jus' sayin' that it wasn't MY FAULT!!!
.
Pastor says, OH WHATeverrrr, your THE ONE thats in the owing anywayZ!!! I'm like, HEEEEEEEY, When something is MY fault, I take the blame for it...weeeeeeeeeeelllll I take 99.8% of the blame for it... OF COURSE theres ALWAYS that .2% that's floating around out there that belongs to others!!! Heh, heh!!! Pastor just walks away shaking his head...his USUAL response to ME!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
