First of all... I just have to say that it is so nice to be around family again. Of course I miss my hubby but its just nice to talk to my mom and hang out with my family. I drove to Idaho last Thursday. Let me just say that was one of the scariest drives I've ever experienced. The roads were icy and I was driving through a snow storm most of the way. At times I couldn't even see. It was complete white outs. I saw a couple cars go off the road and one smashed up car. It was scary. I prayed the whole time that the Lord would protect me from my stupid mistake of driving. I should have just listened to my mom and took a plane. It ended up good and I made it safely 17 hours later. It was only supposed to take me 12. I keep telling myself that it was worth it and so far it seems like it was.
This is in Montana right beforethe big storm.
Sat. My best friend Angella went through the temple. It was one of the best feelings I have ever felt. I was so honored. She asked me to be her escort. At the same session my brother Michael went through for the first time also. So it was double for me. It was a very spiritual time for us. Ang looked absolutely beautiful. Her soon to be hubby was so nervous to the point that he was shaking so bad. It was funny (sorry Josh, Tony was shaking too). It was a little hard for me cause Tony wasn't there. I miss him a ton.
Sunday I flew out to Spokane and finally after two weeks of not seeing Tony got to spend two and a half days with him. But that was an adventure. The moment we both landed we checked into our hotel room and then off we were to find housing. That day we must have looked at 5 different places. None jumped out at us. Monday we got up early and headed out again to find housing. This time we probably looked at about 20 different places. Talk about tiring. Well about 4 that afternoon we were on our way to look at another place... this time following a lady to show us a town house. We were in the middle of crossing an unprotected intersection (we had the right a way) this gentlemen who wasn't paying attention ran right into us. Tony saw him and he swerved so that the guy wouldn't hit me. He ended up hitting the back passenger side bending the tire axel and riping off the bumper. He hit us with so much force that we spun in a circle and ended up in the poor old lady's yard.

Talk about an experience. I've got a pretty nasty bruise on my arm and one on my knee and Tony has a nasty one of one of his knees also. So that pretty much ruined any plans that we had of still looking. It took the tow company over an hour to get to us and we had to go and get another rental car. Oh well though... That's life right? I flew back yesterday afternoon. We settled with a new apartment. Its less expensive then what we're paying right now. By almost two hundred dollars.
I flew out at 4pm. Worst flight ever. Really bumpy... Because of the car wreck I'm a little jumpy anyways. I sat though by a returned missionary on the way to Idaho Falls. He was such a nice guy and we just talked about his experience down in Mexico. Scary place... I'm glad that I was in the states some times.
Today was a fantastic day. I threw a bridal shower for Angella. Mom and I did a ton of running around trying to get everything done for it. It turned out wonderful and fun.

Holy Crap! That's all I have to say...oh and I'm glad you are alive.
Nothing like a car wreck to ruin your day. I am glad both of you were not hurt seriously.
I had someone back up into my car a year ago and rip my bumper completely off. It took about a month to get the other person's insurance company to get it fixed.
I'm glad you were able to find an apartment. Now comes the fun task of moving cross country.
CRAZY!! I was in an accident just like that on my way to seminary my second week of my senior year only I was the one who hit this woman's car. She ran a stop sign and if I hadn't swerved, I would've killed her. Glad I didn't!!
Btw, I love the new digs. Awesome kitchen.
