some new things...

Well... a few new things that have gone on lately. I turned 23 on the 17th! It was a very fun day, i took work off to spend the day with Jordan and my sister and her kids. I woke up to balloons and a banner over my head, and  a present on the table. Jordan got me a gift card to Downeast Outfitters. I have been complaining about needed new downeast undershirts. YaY!!! We went to lunch at olive garden my favorite restaurant and i ate soooo much but how can you not! mmm... Then Jordan had to go to work so we drove to Harriman and i spent the rest of the day with Autumn and the kids. The babysitter came over and Autumn and i went to Dinner and shopping with the money my mom gave me and the GC from Jordan. It was a very fun day. Then Sunday the 19th we went to Jordan's parent s to celebrate my birthday. His mom made us raspberry chicken and baked potatoes. It was so good, I got a very cute giraffe (named gerry) and some body wash for my dry skin, a watch and a heat pack... It was a good b-day this year. So Jordan and i left around 10pm to go home, it had been snowing and so we decided to take 114th on ramp right by Jordan's parents house instead of Bangeter. Well we got on the freeway and see one car on the left side smashed into the cement divider, and 2 cars on the left same thing and the cops were there. So we keep going very cautiously. Jordan was testing his brakes as we were going to make sure they were slipping or anything. So we see break lights up ahead and so Jordan started to slow down. I had no idea what was even happening until Jordan said "It's ok Dear", I looked up and we were spinning. Yeah we hit black ice. We did not see the ice because it was still snowing and fresh powder was on top of the ice. There were about 5 cars that were over by where we were when we were spinning. I was Frozen stiff i had no idea what was going to happen. All i could think was i haven't had babies, we just got married!!! AHHHH!!! haha i know i'm ridiculous but that's what was going through my head. Jordan went for the Exit so we didn't hit the cars braked in front of us. Well we spun and there was a light pole in front of us and a good 7 foot drop of the side. That is when i lost it, i didn't cry or scream i just thought we were going to die. Somehow neither of us know but we ended up with the back bumper a foot away from the light pole, and about 5 feet from another car that had slid off. I was in complete shock. It was the biggest miracle i have ever seen. Jordan and i drove to the nearest parking lot i had been crying so thankful that our lives were spared. We got out of the car and hugged from a while and then decided we weren't going to go home anymore, we went right back to Jordan's parents house and spent the night. thankfully i had the next day off for Presidents Day. Well i didn't sleep at all the night and neither did Jordan. He had a nightmare and i just stared at the ceiling. I was so scared to go to sleep. I didn't sleep for about 4 nights. I am sleeping better now i still get a little freaked out driving and i hate the snow even more than i have ever before and that's saying something!!!! : ( Well we are ok and i am so grateful for our blessing we were given that night. anyways to good news...
          My friend Heather got engaged on the 24th and i couldn't be any happier it's like i got engaged again, without the wedding planning stress. haha Love you heather. I have yet to meet her man but i know from of coarse facebook stalking and from becca meeting him i know he is the one and only for her. She asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and i am sooooo excited. haha i love being in weddings. I can't wait to be able to go into the temple and see one of my best friends get married! : ) yay!!
