This weekend with Xuey..

Thursday: It was hot and humid and I was so happy to see my babe!! I've gotten so forgetful. So I'm driving towards the cities when I realize, FREAK, I forgot my charger. I also forgot some other little stuff, like my brownie tray, a hair brush, etc. Man I'm such a dumb butt. I guess it's because I was too excited to be going to see Xuey. It's been about a month since we've seen each other and I couldn't be any happier.
When I got there, I told Xue about my charger and other stuff so we went to Walmart to get it. It was about 14 bucks! Danggit! I'm so forgetful. We also bought coffee(instant), juice, and some breakfast snacks.

Friday: My gosh, I could not function without my coffee but that made me kinda hot. I love the new foundation I'm trying although I'm not a big foundation person. I usually just use bareminerals but I haven't been putting a lot of make up on since it's summer and it's freaking humid.
So Xuey works at the St.Mary's Hospital in Madison. His shift was 7-4pm and I wanted to drop him off. So when I dropped him off, I went back to his apartment and watched videos and did the usual internet surfing. I also watched a couple of episodes of some korean dramas, My lovely Sam-Soon and Coffee Prince. I just ♥ them so much!
I was getting into a korean phase so I decided to look up korean supermakets in Madison. I found a couple and decided to take a nice trip. There was construction everywhere so I only went to one--then the rain came. It scared me so much because it was pouring non-stop! I didn't wanna go home but Xue texted me to go home and wait because he still had a few hours left. I decided to gas up then leave. (Man, when I was at the korean store I wanted to get that hot pepper paste so bad!! SHOULD'VE GOTTEN IT!! DOH!) So I left back to the apartment again and watched the documentary I got from the Women's Center.
After that then it was time to pick up Xue, so I left the apartment--again. So I picked him up and went back to the apartment to eat dinner. We ate some spicy chicken stir fry. Well it was super spicy to me. Then we went back to hospital to pick up Meng(Xue's friend). We were debating about going to go see Eat, Pray, Love but there was no good time to watch it since we wanted to eat brownies and ice cream with Susan(The cute girl aka Meng's Wife) and them, since Susan wasn't gonna get off work til 9pm. So we said no the movie since we were both craving some brownies. But we didn't have any trays(since I'm so forgetful about it), we went back to Walmart. We also got ice cream too. At this time, Xue's car was acting weird and making really bad noises.
Once we left Walmart, the sounds got really realy bad. So we took the small roads back to the apartment. When we were driving(about 2 miles from the apartment), the oil light came on and he just turned off the engine and let it roll down the hill. We stopped at the gas station to buy some oil for his car. He filled it up and started the car and the light was still on. So he knelt down to check underneath the car and Xue saw all the oil he poured into his car, outside on the ground. OMG!! Xue said that the nut/bolt(IDK anything about cars) was not there anymore. It fell out so that means that oil will dripping everywhere and the engine is not safe to function. Since we weren't that far from the aparment, Xue tried driving it back. Once we got going and got to the light and switched into the left lane, some sounded like it snapped off and his car died. SO SAD!! You should've seen Xue's face. It was scary.
He called Chenue(his friend in SP) and had him come over to look at it with him and see what they can do. Since we had ice cream and we didn't want it to melt, Xue told me to just walk back to the apartment and I did. When I got back, I was so worried that I called Xue if he needed me there or something but he said no. I felt so usless.
That night, his car had to stay in a close by parking lot. He was so frustrated and pissed. Words can't describe it. The only way to Sheboygan was taking my car.

Saturday: This day was another long driving day. The plan was to get Xue's Uncle's truck(Nissan Titan) and his brother-in-law's dolly(in Fond Du Lac) and then get his car(in Madison) and bring it all the way back to his parents' place(in Sheboygan). Mission accomplished by 6pm. It was very tiring, especially for Xue and Blong(another friend). Thanks Blong for coming for support and help. You're awesome! That night we just relaxed with some Thai food at Thai Cafe and some Absolute Zero hookah at Tong's place(another friend, lol).

Sunday: BBQ at his parents' house. It was fun. I decided to make some shrimp-with-peach-drizzled-with-olive-oil-infused-with-lemon-and-basil-sauce kebabs. It was dee-licious! We left Sheboygan around 330ish and got safely back in Madison around 5pm. I took a quick nap before heading back to St.Cloud. I ate a little before I left Xuey. I miss him so much. He has to take the bus to work for this week. At least he has this weekend to fix anything with his car.

Standing Stones 2010

Dates: July 27-31, 2010 Church camp as most call it but it's called, Standing Stones. It was in Greenville, Missori. It is too humid and hot there. I think I've gotten closer to God. I want to know about Jesus and his miracles. I want to have my own testimony. I need you more than ever God!
