Car Accident








Me and Casey were driving home from school and we were in the middle of Wyoming. For those of you familiar with Wyoming, we were just past Rawlins. Casey hit the bumpy strips on the side of the road, and way over corrected himself and the car went into a tail spin and then the car flipped 3 1/2 times. We both walked away from this terrible accident unharmed. We've both been sick to our stomachs, and I have a few small bruises, but that's all. We are so lucky to be alive, yet alone with out major injuries.
The tow truck company took us to a Motel in Saratoga Wyoming, a tiny little town about 40 miles off the interstate. There we tried to sleep, but I think we both got about 2 hours. In the morning, Bishop Powell, the bishop in Saratoga came and picked us up and took us to the car to get all of our stuff out of the car, and then took us back to his house (10 miles outside of town). There we spent the afternoon, had lunch and got all of our stuff organized. Later he drove us the 80 miles to Larmie WY where we had a flight out of in the morning. He took us to a FedEx store to ship some bags and and then dropped us off at our Hotel.
Saturday morning we were able to take a shuttle from the hotel to the airport. We finally made it in to Atlanta that evening, without our bags. But thankfully they shipped our bags to our house the next afternoon. So to stay the least, we're greatful to be home and alive!
