Terrible Grill Story

On Saturday my mom made Nate go to do an auction for her in Heber because she wanted to go with me to my friend Heather's Lia Sophia jewelry party. We went and bought some really cool stuff and had a great time. All the while Nate is texting us and sending us pictures of fridges and telling us that no one is at the auction so everything is going super cheap. We have this tiny little fridge at our house so we had been looking for a bigger fridge and it was nice because the house already had a water line installed for an ice maker/water dispenser fridge. Nate found one and it went for like $150. So then we had to figure out how to get it home.

My mom and I drove up there after the jewelry party in my car and thought we'd find something to get it home with at the U-Haul store. Oddly, the U-Haul was closed Saturday and Sunday...seemed strange to us as that is when people move, right?

Anyways! The baby was getting hot waiting for them to return in my car and he needed some shade so I stuck him in my mom's car with the air on. When they came back to tell us that the store was closed they said we were going to go get shakes. So I hooked the belt on the car seat real quick and we took off. We got our shakes but for some reason we didn't stop to eat them. I tried to eat some but it pretty much just melted because I was too busy driving.

Nate is a crazy driver! He was over about a foot in the other lane at least 100 times. I had to call and ask if he was trying to eat his shake too, but he wasn't. He is just crazy. I think we need to get him some glasses.

Anyways. We were driving down the canyon, making fun of Nate's driving and we hit a bump on a turn and my mom's GRILL FLEW UP AND FELL ON THE BABY! I thought for sure he was dead! Tara was buckled in the front AND sleeping and she was back there in no time flat wiping ash off of him. He sounded startled but not hurt so I was SO relieved but still couldn't wait to get the hell off that freeway to check him out! It was amazing! He was blessed that day that it didn't hit him in the head, but it didn't even hit him ANYWHERE! It was seriously a miracle.

Not even five minutes later this crazy mid-size SUV came up on the left side of me and totally cut me off like he had no idea I was there. THEN he slammed on his breaks!!! My mom's brakes are soft and not like mine at all so I had to instantly swerve into the emergency lane! We were so lucky that there was even a lane there! There is so much construction on I-80 that most of it only has a concrete barrier! We were so lucky to be alive that day. I told my mom that the devil was trying to kill us like Joseph Smith. I had a crazy adrenaline head ache and had to go home to take a nap. PHEW!!!
