We're Here

Well, for those that don't know Tyler got a job in Idaho Falls, Idaho. We've been apart since Conference weekend. We are now together again. Tyler and Jeremy came and got Brig and I this last weekend and we made it to Jo and Jeremy's house in Rexburg, Id around midnight last night. The drive wasn't bad at all. Brig slept most of the way and was pretty good when he was awake. Since there was so much stuff with him in the back seat, we were able to put him in the middle seat so he could see. I think he rather liked it. I was able to sleep a few hours but I tried to stay awake. I didn't want to have Tyler falls asleep when I was sleeping but Tyler did a good job at staying awake. We discovered about the time we crossed into Idaho that we couldn't turn on the heater if we wanted to be able to see out the windows. We're going to get it fixed but it was so cold for the last hour and a half. We couldn't turn on the heat at all. Oh well. I just hope Tyler's warm enough driving to and from Idaho Falls for the next few weeks.
So our story for the trip is this. We were about an hour outside of Vegas yesterday morning and the wind was blowing pretty good. Tyler and I were following Jeremy. We had our car and Jeremy was in a truck pulling the trailer. All of a sudden we see the camper shell that was on the truck come flying over the back of the trailer. It bounced once in the right lane and landed off the road about 10 feet. I was so glad it didn't hit anyone since there were cars behind us in both lanes. Hopefully they saw it happen and were able to slow down. Anyways, so we all pulled over. While Jeremy was packing up to get closer to the shell, he got to far over and ended up getting stuck in the loose gravel, a little jack-knifed. They tried to figure out how to get it out but it just kept getting deeper and deeper. After like an hour, 2 trucks pulled over and helped us get it out and back on the road. ;)
