Thankful For...

If you don't live in Utah click here to check out what happened in Utah last night.  Warren and I had travelled over to Spanish Fork to hang out with Gma. and Gpa. and the cousins.  We were going to stay till about 7:30 or so and then go pick up Kyle from campus.  My dear friend called and asked if we could watch her little boy and her sister's little boy around 6:15.  We said yes and as we got on the freeway the storm was just started to hit Utah County.  The roads were pretty slick from the storm the day before and this made for a slow commute home.  I was grateful that Warren had fallen asleep so he didn't get antsy.  We were almost home and turning left from 300 South onto 400 East when we slid off the road and landed in the gutter (mini ditches) and bumped a large tree and thankfully we weren't going fast.  A good samaritan passed by and asked if we needed help.  He gave me his jacket and looked at our options to get us out.  We decided to try it.  He pushed on the front end and got us partially out.  A neighbor came out of his apt. and offered his help too.  With both of them pushing we got out.  I was so grateful for these kind young men who helped us out and grateful that we were able to drive out of there with no scratches on us and just a little ding on the car.  I didn't end up watching my friend's little boys but we got home before the major damage happened on the roads.  Thank you again to our good helpers.

Glad you were safe! How scary that must have been for you. Stay safe and off of those dangerous roads.
