This weekend was quite an exciting one in terms of college life. The goal? Get to phoenix arizona by 3 am friday morning. It all began with becca locking her keys in her car. We patiently waited for the locksmith to come while eating cold pizza. If you remember thursday night was very cold, but eventually the locksmith came and saved the day for a few dozen dollars. We climbed into the vehicle. After about five minutes it was still cold, but heather asked to borrow my jacket, I let her use it on the terms that she return it if the car breaks down.
The weather continued to darken, and an hour of driving caused our heater to stop working, we had no idea what was going on. About half an hour later our car died, and we we're stranded, probably half an hour from Beaver, in the cold darkness.
Heather returned my jacket.
As it were, we were stuck in beaver for the night, with no car and no prospects. And yes we were hungry. Luckily heather and I had packed each an apple and 1/2 of a PB and J sandwich. As we sat on the rickety motel bed worried about rental cars, hitch hiking, and the questionable cleanliness of surroundings, the 1/2 of a PB&J was a comfort. It was like biting into sticky, fun memories.
Yes eventually after several calls, the help of a stranger, and more money then planned, we made it to phoenix. The sun blinded my eyes and tickled my skin. The weekend was wonderful, full of sunshine and cantaloupe. But as good things go, this one came to an end, and it was time to leave. The night before we left I made heather and I each an entire pb&j sandwich, just in case.

That would be so scary! I am glad you guys made it okay, and thank goodness for that PB&J! That is one thing that has always worried me about cars...breaking down. At least you finally made it to Phoenix, and you didn't have any problems on the way home right?
Sometimes I forget the goodness of peanut butter and jelly. There are definitely those times when nothing hits the spot quite like it. Those times usually come at one or two in the morning.
The content of your blog was pretty fun, but what was particularly impressive was your excellent language used, especially in describing Arizona once you got there and the PBJ itself. Good, vivid imagery from your word choice.
Wow that is a tragic story! ha! I bet the warm weather in Phoenix was worth it. That is where i am from...love it.
Peanut Butter is the ultimately satisfying fall back meal. Whenever Cannon Center decides to try some weird new concoction or I happen to come at an off time when the wrap line is closed, i opt for a pb and j. It's also a pretty healthy way to satisfy an intense dessert craving, it takes care of the need for sweets!
