The Bakersfield Experience

Last Saturday, my Dad and I were on our way to Bakersfield. We were going to spend the night there with my Tia Rebecca, and leave in the morning to Fresno where my Dad would be singing. When we'd driven for 2.5 hours (to Barstow), we got a call from my brother telling us that my Mom was in the emergency room because she'd put super-glue in her eye. . . !!! We could not believe it, and my Dad decided to turn around and come home. When we got back to Vegas at 9pm, my Mom had just gotten home after they'd been able to open her eye.

It turns out that she'd woken up late for work, gone to her sink, and put in her "eye drops" which were actually not her eye drops. Since she's a nurse, and works at the nearest hospital to our house, her coworkers were teasing her, but helping her feel better, about her dumb mistake.

She's fine now, but we had to wake up the next morning (Sunday) at 8 to leave, once again, toward Bakersfield, but now we had to go straight to Fresno. We made it to the first service at 2pm, ate, and headed for another service. We ended the day at midnight, and then finally headed to Bakersfield. We were so sleepy, but we made it (Thank God). Monday morning was my cousins' (Hanna and Donna!) first day of school, so I got to ride (not drive) them to school. =)

When I got in the car to go pick them up from school, my Dad's song was playing on the radio!!! Since Las Vegas doesn't have a variety of hispanic, christian radio, I never get to hear him on the radio. My cousins always get to hear him, but when I heard it, I screamed and called my Dad right away! I was so happy, and proud of him! =)

Monday afternoon we came home and my Mom's eye is still in recovery (but she's fine, Thank God).
