memories from janelle

the previous posts and comments made me really laugh out loud!
All the car posts got me thinking about the time dad, me, & amy went to spy on jon. jon was going to be attending a party of some sort and we thought we knew the name of the friend who was hosting the party. we found this friend's address in the church directory, got in the sebring and drove over to said friend's house. they lived over behind the temple in a nice neighborhood. when we got to the house, me and amy snuck out trying to peer into the windows to spot jon. we couldnt see him, but we saw some people. we then decided to go down the slight slope into the backyard and see if we could spot him from the back. as me and amy descended to the back, dad began reving the engine and rocking the car forward and back. the driveway was a downward slope and he was trying to reverse up. he couldn't do it. he kept putting the car in reverse, grinding the gears, and stepping on the gas. it was making a LOUD sound. me and amy panicked b/c of all the ruckus being caused by dad....we would surely be discovered. after we realized that dad would not be able to reverse the car up hill in a stick shift, we made a brake for the car. luckily no one came out. it turned out to be the completely wrong house as well. jon's party was elsewhere...but dad's complete lack of stealth was so comical to me and amy. hi
