Well today we were on our way to Idaho Falls to go to a gun show. Nathan had to work all day Saturday so today was the only day we had to hang out. A little storm was hitting us, but nothing that we haven't seen before. We were just heading through the lavas between Blackfoot and Shelley when... it happened. Somone went to pass us and cut us off too short, so I tapped my brakes and that was enough for us to start sliding. First our back end started to go and that's when I knew we were screwed. So I started singing, "Jesus take the wheel, Take it from my hands....." But that didn't work, probably because I don't know the whole song. They aren't a kiddin' when people say that it all goes in slow motion. On the freeway going 65 mph, doing a 360 in the middle of the freeway and then BAM! We slam into the gaurd rail head on. Then it spins us again and spits us out on the other side of the borrow pit. When we hit the guard rail me and Nate slammed our heads together. I think I was knocked a little loopy, but for the most part we were safe. Things definately could have been worse. We could have rolled, or hit another vehicle or even flipped over the guardrail, we were very lucky. Two other vehicles stopped to see if we were alright and then helped push us out of the borrow pit. And to much of our surprise, our car started back up and we could still drive it. Did we turn around and go home? Did we call for someone to come and help us? HECK NO! We kept on our way to Idaho Falls and went to the gun show, grabbed some lunch and then, headed home. I am glad that our Father in Heaven was looking over us and was keeping us safe. Even though it was an accident, it could have been alot worse. I am counting my blessings tonight, that is for sure!
