We experienced a few more firsts the second week we were in Wichita!
The first new thing we experienced was freezing rain:
I'd heard of this phenomenon, but never actually experienced it.
And I think I would be happy if I never experienced it again... :)
It's kind of scary!
You see the water falls down just like rain, which I like,
but as soon as it hits again, it freezes,
which I don't like.
If we hadn't had anything planned that night we would have just stayed inside and ordered pizza.
But we had tickets to see a WSU basketball game.
It was fun to watch, it was a really close game!
One of my sweet husband's mission friends plays on the team, so it was fun to watch him too.
The second first we experienced that week, was changing rooms in a hotel.
Not the biggest thing in the world, but I'd never complained to a hotel before.
I was in our room waiting for my dear husband to get back from work when I seriously couldn't breathe because it reeked of cigarette smoke!
To be honest before our stay at our hotel, I didn't think there were still smoking rooms in hotels, or at least not right next to non-smoking rooms, I thought they were at least separated.
Apparently, not at this hotel,
which is fine because they moved us to a nice room, that smelled nice.
However, this room had a few funny quirks,
about 20 minutes after we'd just unpacked in our new room we heard a strange gurgling sound.
It was the sink in the kitchen area...
something was coming up from the disposal... lol!
Luckily, it went down after a bit, and only did that a few more times during the rest of our stay.
It made us laugh that right after we'd changed rooms something went wrong with the next room,
but I think it added a little spice to the trip, in a good way... lol!
Oh, I have to tell about our experience leaving on Friday.
Like I said, we had a rental car, so we had to return it,
well we planned on giving ourselves an hour and a half to turn it in,
check into our flights, and make it our gates.
But, we didn't get out exactly when we planned.
However, it turns out at the Wichita airport, that is not a big deal... lol!
We turned in the car, checked into our flights, made it through security,
and got to our gate in twenty minutes!
Sweet!
All in all we had a great time, it was nice to get to spend a little time together in a new place!
haha. freezing rain. it does SUCK! it's totally scary to drive in and it definately sucks to try to ride your bike in it! haha. good times on the mission. Glad you experienced some crazy "missourians/kansas folk" or the life of the mid-west. :)
