What a Day!
So my husband and I were given tickets to the OU v. Texas game and the Texas Rangers game on Saturday. We drove most of the way and stayed in a hotel in Irving Texas Friday night, so that we could get up and have plenty of time to get to the OU game the next morning. Well traffic was crazy and we were about 10 minutes from the stadium and needed to pull off the highway for a minute. Well when we went to start the car back up and get to the game, the car would not start. The battery died. Thankfully my husband had met a guy who lives in Dallas just the week before. If he had not met this guy, who knows what we would have done being in a city we are not familiar with and not knowing anyone else who lived close enough. So this guy drove about 30 minutes to get to us and jump started our car, followed us to a place we could get a new battery and get the car fixed. Once it was all ready to go the game was already in the 3rd quarter, so we decided it was not worth it to go to the rest of it. Plus OU had a solid lead anyway. We hopped in the car and headed for Arlington to make it to the Rangers game. We got there pretty early, so we napped in the car (since we had a pretty exhausting morning) and then just strolled around the ballpark for awhile. It was a little cloudy, but not too bad at the time. Well the game got started and a few innings in had to be delayed due to rain. So we waited it out and they got started up again. We made it to the top of the 5th inning, and yet another rain delay. We planned on driving back home that same night and it was already 10 PM. So...we figured it would be best to just head home since we didn't know if they would be able to resume the game or not. At least we got to listen to the rest of the game on the radio on the drive home! We finally made it home around 2:30 or so AM. It poured rain on us the whole way. Needless to say, it was an eventful weekend and we were pretty exhausted on Sunday. Weekend didn't turn out at all planned and was slightly stressful - but good things have come from it and it all worked out anyway! Just have to learn to go with the flow sometimes!
