Man we have had the craziest 11 days of my life! Well probably not of my life but they have been super insane. It started off on June 27th when Beau and I were driving up for our fun filled vacation. We left home about 7:30am so we could get on the road before the heat was too unbearable. I had stayed up way too late the night before at our Relief Society sleep-over so once I was in the car I fell asleep. I hadn't been asleep for what seemed like too long when I heard a horn honk and I was jerked awake by Beau screaming "the car is on fire!" What? I didn't even know where we were. So Beau immediately pulled over and I yelled "what do I do?" I apparently am not a very logical thinker in an event of a fire. So Beau tells me to call 9-1-1 and so I run as far away from the car as possible and call the police. Keep in mind I have no idea where we are so having me talk to the police was probably not the best idea but

The fire soon was dying down and the police man showed up. He didn't have a fire extinguisher and didn't know how to help us so he called the fire department and then...left. Seriously here we are on the side of the road as the cop just pulls away. Right after he left the flames were reaching up both sides of the car. My first instinct was to pray so we said a prayer of thanks that we were safe and then we continued moving our stuff as far away from the car as possible. The fireman showed up and eventually got the fire out


Luckily we are blessed to have wonderful friends. I called Janece and she was willing to drive to Beaver but she has her baby and I just didn't know what we would do if we were back in Cedar without transportation so, we called Lacie and Tayce. We are so grateful for the wonderful friendship we have with them and the wonderful people they are. Lacie is so gracious all the time and so willing to help wherever help is needed. They drove to Beaver and took us to lunch while we waited for Beau's parents. We had so much fun and they turned a very bad situation into something we could laugh about. We love you guys!



Eventually Beau's parents came and we were able to load up our stuff, say our goodbyes, and safely make it to Ogden. We pulled into home at about..5:30 I think. So...needless to say my pregnant self was about done for the day. I just want to say that Beau and I are so blessed to have people in our lives that are willing to help us in our time of need. It is so comforting to know that no matter what, we have someone to turn to. Whether it be our parents, siblings, or friends. We love you guys!
