Well Matt and I have had the adventure. Matt had to be at the police station in moab at 8 in the morning. So we head out at like 7:40 thinking we will have plenty of time to get there. We borrowed a TomTom from my grandparents and it was telling us to go the wrong way. (at this point i had not figured out how to use it) it was telling us to leave moab and Matt wanted to listen to it and i was like no way we have to find center street. so finally we found where we were going! He got there just in time and did the physical test and he did so good. I was so proud of him. It ended at 9:40 and he had to be back for an interview at 10:20 we had not even packed or anything yet. So we showered packed and got everything in the car by 10:10 (we just wanted to leave after the interview) we were pushing it cause it is better be early to an interview than be late. He got there and the other guy in head of Matt was still interviewing! Matt went in for his interview and he said at first it was not going so good, but somehow he mentioned that my dad was a cop and my step dad is a cop. They asked my dads name and i guess all the people interviewing Matt knew my dad personally. I thought that was so cool but it also opened up a window for Matt to actually talk with the officers and not just answer questions. He talked with them for about 45 minutes and than the chief came and in talked to him for a while. that has never happened before so hopefully that's a good sign!
After the interview we headed to pheonix. It was such a long ride. We had tomtom working by then until i started driving. Matt hit a button and suddenly it was going to take 30 hours to get to phoenix. Thankfully i had printed off a directions from mapquest so we fallowed that. We were about half way and we stopped to get gas. We were in line to put gas in our car when the car in front of us pulled out so we started pulling in. This lady drove right passed us and cut us in line. She also did not go to the farthest open pump she stopped at the first one so no one else could get gas. i was just like are you kidding me, are you seriously that concerned with only yourself. Anyways we got gas and kept driving. We stopped at flagstaff to eat dinner. We were charged for an extra sandwich so we had way to much food but i had the chance to give it to someone less fortunate. I was glad i could help someone. I always want to help people but i don't really ever take the opportunity, but i am trying to work on it. By now we only had about 120 miles left!! I was worried about my car making it the whole way with out breaking down or over heating and it had no problems at all. I was so relieved! We finally got to our hotel at 8:00 and it is so nice. Its probably the nicest hotel i have ever stayed at. I love it, we are considering staying another night just to stay!! Thursday we get to have a day of relaxing. I think we are going shopping (mostly just for something to do) and we are going to an aqurium that i have tickets for! It should be a fun day :) ( sorry to who ever is reading this i am mostly just posting to keep a journal of our trip)
