Home Sweet Home

Dwight arrived safely in South Dakota and rescued us from the motel where we were waiting car-lessly. It is weird to be some place you have never been, without any mode of transportation to leave. Thanks to all who prayed for us and a SPECIAL thanks to Sean who volunteered to come and rescue us!!

When we reviewed all the things that COULD have happened to us, we were very thankful for our safe exit from the vehicle. We purchased 6 -70 pound tube-shaped bags of sand for weight in the back of the van in Grand Forks. These could have been killer missiles as we were slamming into snow and rolling over. My address book with a steel binding was bent and filled with glass from shattered windows but we did not have glass in our eyes or under our skin. Our rescuers thought they would need the "jaws of life" to get us out but we were not pinned AT ALL -- just closed in tightly -- but we could crawl out.

I never want a repeat performance of this incident but I am THANKFUL to have walked away with only minor scrapes.
