The Crash! And the Lord blessing's

Yes, It happened. I still can't believe it! It's still so vivid in my mind. Any time I close my eyes I can see it all happen again. It's amazing how the mind works. Let me tell you how all of this happend. Frist of all, it was Monday the 5th and it snowed like crazy the night before. We received about a foot of snow and it was till snowing at seven in the morning. Jillian and I had to leave so she could catch her plane in Boise. So we started. And of course, at no surprise the pass was closed. We couldn't leave the valley! So we decided to eat Breakfast at the "Flying J" and wait for the pass to open. Well, we waited and waited! So we decided to head back home and waite there. We kept checking the inter-net and making phone calls. Finally, the pass opened at 12:30.{ Let me tell you that the night before I was pretty nervous when I saw it snowing so hard! Even when I wroke up in the morning as was still was sick to my stomach. Maybe my gut was trying to tell me something.} Anyway let's get back to the day that will always be so vivid in my mind. At about 10:00 we found out that the college "E.O.U" was canceled because of the snow. That's never happen before, so that tell's you how much snow we got. Well, I was relieved so now Kenn could come with me to take Jillian to the airport. That brought some peace of mind to me, because I was not looking forward driving back by my self in the dark. So, like I stated before the pass was finally opened at 12:30 and all three of us head off to Boise. It was slow going but we made it. Yeah! Even though Jillain missed her frist flight, we where able to get her on a 5:15 flight. WE only had to pay 50 dollars more to change it. { what a blessing } Because we where ready to pay for another whole ticket. We saw her off and headed backe home- Normally when in Boise we would eat or do some shopping but because of the roads we decided to go straight home. We did stop in Ontario to eat at "Winger's". We were also prepared to stay the night because of the roads and it was dark. So before we decided to stay in Ontario, we called the Chadwick's to check the roads for us. They were snowed packed but most of the roads where wet. He also stated that more snow was on its way in the morning. So decided to start for home. when we sarted the roads where pretty good. Then all of a sudden the roads started to become a little icy. I started to slow down but It was to late. I hit a patch of black ice, it was so hard to see in the dark. [ need to get better head lights ] I was going about 45 to 50 miles per-hour when I hit the ice. The road was dry and then there it was. I qickly tryed to corrct it. I moved the steering wheel 6 times back and forth to counter it, I was still in 4 wheel drive. I was swerving, fish tailing down the highway. This was right before the two lane stared to move into one lane. AS we where fish tailing down the road the l lighted arrow grew closer and closer. I swear we where going to hit it and the cement wall. So, I panicked and said "Kenn I can't do this!!!" He answered back pretty clamly, just a bit of tenseness in his voice "Yes you can, your fine". "No I'm not!" At that moment that's when we slamed into the metal railing. After spinning around. Luckly, the metal railing was packed with fresh snow which soften the blow. So, there we where acrosse the lane and into the other lane. I was still in shock, but I qiuckly backed up the car to move it to the side of the road. I knew three semis where going to come, because we passed them not to long ago. And sure enough, they came whizzing by. I'm sure glad that the Lord helped me to know what to do, because we would of been hit by those semis for sure. Kenn got out of the car and checked for damage, But it was so dark he really couldn"t see anything. We where so luckly!! I was so shaken that I could't drive. So Kenn said he would drive. As I was walking to the passenger side I looked over the edge where we hit. There was steep 50 foot drop into a small creek. All I could think of was if we just hit the railing just a little harder, and flipped over which we could of done easily. Luckly, we where able to drive our car home. What a blessing! But I was so tense all the way home. I kept seeing the arrow sign and the 50 foot drop with the creek. I still see them when I think about it. Let me tell you, I sure didn't want to drive again ever! But on thursday Kenn made me drive to Walla Walla for his Dr. appointment. I was a little shaky at frist- But driving became easyer as I drove. I'm gald I did-because I need to rebuild my confidence up again. I still a little nervous driving to Jessica and Patxi when the baby comes by my self. I know the the Lord will bless me! Well, that's what happned. It was a long Day to say the least!
