THEN, while sitting in line waiting to turn into the parking lot for the show, the Tahoe just dies and won't restart! We were no more than 1/8th of a mile away from being there - are you kidding me? So the guys push the car to the side of the road (while us girls diligently protect our hair and outfits from the rain for as long as possible by staying inside the car), and we tried to figure out the best plan. Chris called the owner of the Tahoe, who was unavailable to come take care of his car problem. So we were left with the unhappy situation of leaving one person (Chris) with the car to have it towed back to the owner's house. The rest of us went to the show and really enjoyed it (in a guilty "I wish Chris was here" kind of way). In the end, he missed the entire performance, because he had to go with the car to see it dropped off since the owner wasn't at home that night. He says he thinks God was punishing him for watching "American Idol". (inside joke) And maybe God was blessing his wife, Adessa, because I'll admit I was a little envious of her elbow room during the show since they had us packed like sardines in tiny plastic chairs that were meant for children. But God is good, the show was fun, the company was perfect, and it wasn't the worst thing that could've happened, even for Chris. We had a lot of laughs that night and we'll always remember the story of the best laid plan that went awry!
Our manly men coming to our rescue with smiles on their faces! Left to right: Paul, Dan & Chris
