For those that need a chuckle ( my driving )

[Guest guest]

Ok here is my story about how I got lost driving in my own city.

As most of you know I have only recently learned how to drive ( have had my

license for about 2 weeks now)

Well my cousin was getting married , and mom wanted to go to the wedding but

didnt want to go by herself ( dad is a stick in mud and wouldnt go ) sooooo I

decided heck I can drive I'll take you.

Mind you now. I have lived in Grand Rapids ALL of my life , and am very

familar with the Northeast and Northwest side of town, but not familar with

Southeast or Southwest.

Of course the Church had to be on the Southwest side of town, right?

Well here we are driving down the highway ( oh yeah did I mention I cant stand

driving on highway?) anyhow , I asked mom to read the directions to see what

exit we get off of, when she quickly informs me she cant read them . I should

have known then we were gonna be in trouble, so I turn off at what I hope is the

exit ( it was ) and got the directions and now I am trying to read them and

drive ( easier said than done if you dont drive alot lol)

FINALLY we make it to the church , (wonderful gorgeous ceremony with over 300

people there) we leave there and head for the Country Club ( heck I dont even

know what side of town it was on ) but we arrived there ok,

We decided to leave about 9pm , well we had directions on how to get to the

church and to the club, but no directions on how to get home, and it was DARK

out by now.

I called Joe , and he said just get out on Lake Dr same way you came from and

follow it out, WELL I did.

I am driving along and its DARK DARK DARK , I have no idea where the heck I am

, but I have this sinking feeling in pit of stomach that I am going the wrong

way. I see side streets passing me 40th , 50th etc , this is NOT right , so I

pulled into parking lot and called Joe , I tell him I think I am seriously lost,

and told him we had just passed a University , he said , thats right , it should

have been on your moms side, told him I just saw the signs not the building but

ok , so we get back on road and continue our way, at this point the streets are

continueing to get higher in numbers ( this just IS NOT right ) when I get to

76th street Joe calls me , mind you I am NOT an experienced driver , so here I

am LOST as all get out , its completely dark ( no street lights way out here )

and trying to answer the cell, finally get it , and my dear darling husband says

, umm hun I think you ARE going the wrong way!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I TOLD HIM!!!!

so finally get turned around going the RIGHT WAY , about 20min later mom said

hey there's the country club ( that we just left ) yes mom I know , you see

apparently when we left the club we should have turned left and NOT right as Joe

had said .

The lesson learned , next time bring a MAP!!!!!

hehehe

So what should have taken us maybe 15min took us 50min lol

I swear I am not driving in unfamiliar areas EVER again ( least til next time
