so, to finish up the installment of my journey with Amy and Barrett, we drove out to Redlands and got to Barrett's house around 8:30. we hadn't stopped for dinner and thus, were starving. we unloaded our things and piled into a three seater truck. oh, and did i mention it was a stick-shift? did i also mention that Barrett just had learned to drive one two weeks prior. it was interesting. since the gear shift is in the center, i (the one in the small middle seat) had no other place to put my legs, but on top of Amy. we only stalled twice and despite Amy and my unhelpful remarks, Barrett got us there and back safely and full of laughs.
that evening we spent a lovely long while skyping with Shanan. Amy got online and skyped him, as Barrett and I hid, waiting to jump out at him and surprise him that we were all together. so, as Amy was talking to him, I leaned over the screen, yelled and then watched him jump back from the computer, surprised. he was so confused and started asking us questions about how long I'd been at Amy's and when we couldn't lie any longer, Barrett took her turn and jumped out at him. poor Shanan...always getting scared :)
in the morning (by morning i mean 11:30), Barrett's mom took us out to breakfast and then we were off to the remaining thrift stores on our list. Amy and I didn't end up leaving until around 8:30pm, but eventually made it to Van Nuys so I could drop her off and then back on the 405 so I could get home. fun trip with them and it was so good to get to see them before the summer really got going.
