Our Christmas Eve has been eventful..

Although it is still christmas eve, and we could still be up for a few hours since lily thinks she is not tired and is fighting bed time bad, I wish i could go to sleep. Eventful, is what I am calling this one. I went to mandies to get some help with a quilt I am making this morning, when we got home inthe after noon, all the snow was melting and the sun was shinning away. Devin made the comment that it was amazing how it was all melting and by tonight it would be storming again. or somehting like that. so we go inside put lily to bed for her nap and he started to help me tie the quilt. we look out the window like a ahlf hour later and its a blizzard practically. I have wanted a white christmas where it snowed on christmas for SOOOO long. I was so excited. When lily woke up we had to run to the store and get a few little things on our way to mandies for the family dinner. so we pack her up, I decided to run in my self since it was snowing to beat the band. on my way out, theres this kid that works there gather carts, but he's right out side the door. he was watching these three guys (I think hispanic) huddled together talking. the kid looks at me and gives me this nod, that I think meant either "I am aware they are creepy, or "get going, I have my eye on them." something like that. So I start walking fast to the car wear Devin and lily were. two of the guys walk off and say somehting to ther third guy, and he says "no". and stays standing where they were talking. as soon and I get past him, he starts to walk briskly behind me. He was following me. So the kid with the carts follows him. I got to the car and went to Devins window, he rolled it down I said "this guy is following me." So the guy walks behind our car and comes around to the side where I was standing. I went to go to the other side and he went back behind the car to the side I was on. So then I motion to devin to get out of the car, and I went back to his side and the guy does it again. but he noticed that Devin got out of the car, and then takes off walking accross the parking lot away from us. It FREAKED me out! I have felt like I was being followed before, and the person usually turns and goes a different way then me, and I realize it was just me being paranoid. but this guy was trying to get me. I know he was, Devin knows he was, and so did the kid with the cart. I was pushing a cart with egg nog, salad, butter and a car snow brush in it. nothing fancy. I did have Devins wallet in my hand though, and I am not the likely one to be able to run really fast. I was likght out side and the parking lot was full with people coming and going. But because thankfuly nothing came of it, I don't know exactly what he wanted. And I can't stop thinking about it. I wonder what he was going to do. What I should have done different. Or what I can do to avoid that ever happening again. I go over it again and again in my mind. I know thats not good, because I am essentially going through it over and over. So I figured since I have this blog, and it usually helps me if I write about things, that I would.
Then we get on our way to dinner and we took the free way. But it was really bad, so devin decides to get off the free way and take state street. well he turned before state street on some back street, I asked him if it was because he thught state would be bad too and he did not say anything really. he just kind of said "I don't know". or something like that. we were driving along and there was this car up ahead of us, Devin kept plenty of distance so he could stop if he needed to. we go around the corner and that car had slif off the road into a big ditch and was tilted so far the if the other side of the ditch was not therem it would have rolled. They just slid off right before we rounded the carner. We pulled up next to them, and I rolled down the window. we did not have a tow rope but we had a cell phone so we could call a tow truck if they needed us to. It was a really nice lady, named rosemarie and her daughter who was pretty shaken up. but they were safe. So we had them come get in our car while she called her husbend. come to find out they were going home, and live right by mandie. So we said we would take them home and her husbend said he would come dig the car out when the storm died down. She was so pleasent. we talked all the rest of the way. A really nice family. I hope they have a merry Christmas. It seems so stange to me that we were there when we were. Another car came along but hey were full and also did not have a rope.They would have been no help. and after that while we sat there for a few minutes deciding waht to do. no other cars came along. It is so obviouse to me that the spirit was guiding us every step of the way. down to the very smallest thing, timing.
Well thats really all I have to say. I am thankful for the spirit. Merry Christmas Everyone!
