Stranded

            Yesterday my dear sweet husband was going to get his sister and her husband and child at the Frankfurt Airport, they had to buy tickets back since they were not able to catch a Space-A Military Flight back for free. Well he had been gone for about 4 hours and it was past 4:30, the time their plane was supposed to land, and I got a phone call. It was my husband. He only made it 35 Km from home before the car over heated and shut down. Luckily he was able to get to the side of the road alright. Apparently him and a friend had been trying to figure out what had been wrong with it. Drew called ADAC, it is a German road side assistance type thing, and they said it would be 45 minutes before they could make it out to him. And they said it was going to cost him 180 euro just to tow the car to the nearest town which was 2 Km away, not even a mile! And 400 euro to tow him back home, which was only like 35 Km away! Ridiculous if you ask me!
             His friend was able to give him a ride home. And him and another guy that he works with were supposed to go and check up on the car today to see what all was wrong with it and see what they could do about fixing it themselves. Well the Polizei called him at work today, they must have found some sort of personal information and called him, (or looked up his liscense) and they told him the car was at the polizei station and in order to get it back we would have to pay 200 euro. So tomorrow him and a friend are going to go to the Polizei Station to see if they can fix it, and pay the 200 euro.
            Yesterday as he was getting ready to leave to go and get his sister, I had this feeling to give him the cell phone to take with him. But I got side tracked some how and completely forgot to tell him! And then once he got home I told him about my prompting from earlier and he was like, "Why didn't you listen to it?!" (in a half joking way) Now I know if I feel any sort of prompting to act on it while I remember to! But I am so glad that he was not harmed in any way and returned home in safety! And today I thanked our friends for helping us out last night.
             And I was able to get ahold of Drew's sister this morning. They all took a shuttle to the Ramstien Air Base and were able to get thier car and travel the rest of the way to thier home. So they made it home in safety and they were sorry about what all had happened but were glad that Drew was safe, as was I.
            On a totally different note, Little Drew has been walking around on his own so much today! He has gone pretty long distances all on his own. I am so proud of him and love him so much!
