And the Alternator Fails...

Car troubles. We all have them some time or another right? Here's one of my (ehhmmm.. of many!) stories.

When I was 17, my sister, a friend and I took a trip to Milbre driving the Blazer. Which by the way was loads of fun to drive.
We were driving home late at night in the dark. A heavy fog had fallen over Hwy 17 - which I courageously drove through. We were heading to Felton so I got onto Mt. Hermon Rd. After driving through Scotts Valley I suddenly noticed the headlights had dimmed. I asked my passengers if they noticed... They had! By the time we got to Gram Hill Rd. The headlights were weaker.... Hwy 9 they were almost gone. We finally approached my friends road with almost nothing left. But it was dark and we thought it'd be safest to continue on our way. This of course was our 17 years of wisdom thinking. We arrived in her driveway with no headlights, driving by the dim moonlight, unharmed, but slightly rattled.

Exciting times!

Playing for Fun

Tonight, like many Monday nights before, we had a jam. We host the jam in the living room - about 5 people come, besides the Bertsches, so it is full, but what fun we have! We get through about 12-15 songs, each person leading at least once. Seriously, playing and singing is awesome.
I know Ivanna covered the fun we had yesterday (if you haven't seen it yet, click here.) So I won't labor over that point. We did have a great time - although cold!

Best Friends

Yesterday as I was driving down Highway 17 toward school listening to some great tunes I started thinking about how much I've grown to like my little brother. I mean, seriously enjoy him. He's hilarious, smart, kind and fun. Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling came over me when I realized that he's not just my little brother anymore, he's become one of my best friends.

Suprise!

I have been thinking about starting a blog. Not because anyone has pressured me into it. There has, quite shockingly, been little of that. But because I have seen how much fun my sisters are having. And have, truly had a wonderful time reading other peoples blogs. So, now you know the reason I started this blog... There will be more to come!
