Thanks to the Arizona HEAT!


So the other day Ryan, Cameron and I ran to Target to get my nephew Tate a birthday present. We get out of Target, go to get in the car...it won't start. I look at Ryan and he says its the battery. SO we are debating what to do, I say, I don't have any jumper cables, he says your family lives to far away. So we ended up calling Jeramy bc he is staying at his dads for the summer and he lives only 2 miles away from the Target we were at. So Erin and Jearmy come to give us a jump. After sitting outside in the heat for 10 minutes and still nothing Erin and I decided to go into Target to cool off, Me having Cameron and her being way pregnant. SO Ryan calls us after 10 minutes and says it won't start. They were going to go home and just get us another car. So they come back, Erin and Jeramy leave (thanks Jeramy and Erin....even though it was super hot!) and Ryan is like Im just going to take the battery out and take it to Auto Zone and see what they say. We didn't want to buy a new one bc the car is barely 2 years old and we knew it should be under warranty. So we go to Auto Zone they say the battery is crap! We already knew that!!!!!! So Ryan doesn't want to leave my car in the Target parking lot....so we end up driving home...again and getting the battery out of Ryans other car and driving back to Target....again! Ryan shoves the battery in it (of course it didn't fit but that didn't stop Ryan!) the hood wouldn't close all the way but Ryans like whatever we only have to go less than 10 minutes! So he drives it home and thank goodness no problems! So needless to say the next morning it is so dead we can't jump it and we have to drive to the dealership with Ryans battery (man you should have seen the guys face! Ha priceless!) So we got a new battery and were all good to go! Only in AZ do you have to buy a new battery every couple of years!!! Thanks again Erin and Jeramy and Ryan for helping get my car to start! Also Thank you Cameron for being such a good baby even though it was waaaaayyyyyy past your bedtime!
