Oh how I miss saying those words!
In Montana we have to pump our own gas. I have never done this before, and today I managed to pump my own gas without any help, and it didn't start out so good. I went to a gas station that I hadn't been to before, and at most gas stations they have really good instructions on what to do, but no such luck at this one. When I got to the part where it tells you to select the type of gas, I couldn't figure out what to push and no matter what I did it wouldn't give me any gas. It eventually got sick of me and spit out a receipt that had a $0.00 amount. And I left very humiliated, thankfully there was no one around! So I headed down the road to a gas station I had been to, where my dad had helped me a few weeks ago, I knew they had good directions. And my attempt was successful! Although the day was very warm and sunny, I couldn't help but think about having to do this in the middle of winter when it is 20-below-0 outside. That is something I am so not looking forward to.
(The picture is actually of Hubs's little sister Brooke pumping gas for the first time (I think?) when she was living in Utah going to BYU.)

Oh Brenley I am with you on this one! For the 2 years we lived in Rexburg I was able to play dumb when it came to pumping gas, and made Steve do it all the time. There was one place where this kid pumped it for me, so if I ever had to fill up I always went there...even though it was ten minutes out of town. But now that we're living in Idaho he says I have to learn...so he made me do it the other day. Dumb self serve gas stations.
We pumped in Hawaii and I got good at it, just takes a little practice. But I hear ya about standing out in the winter weather. Never had to do THAT in Hawaii, so sad for you Brenley. Just think of how spoiled we all have been here in Oregon. Wow, we really have life good, don't we?
