A Long Trip to NY

BK and I had a bad feeling about our drive to my parents for Christmas from the beginning. We even had Chuck checked out before the drive just for peace of mind. Monday night we loaded up and headed out. The trip should have taken 13 hours. Lets just say, we made it safely, but that was the best part. Here is our trip in a nutshell

20 hours

4 gas ups

10 episodes of Veggie Tales

1 patch of black ice

1 spinning car

1 crash into the guard rail

0 the number of seconds it takes for me to feel like we were going to die

1 semi truck with flashers on coming straight at us!

2 cop cars

10 dollars for rope to tie done the hood

2 hours in McDonalds decompressing and waiting for the sun to come up (no more driving in the dark!)

40 (the mph I would let BK drive after the accident)

4 safe family members

600-1000 the quote to fix Chuck so we can drive him home

It was traumatic! I am convinced I am not meant to live where their is ice and snow! Praise God for protection, it could have been so much worse. We are especially thankful this Christmas season.
