We are Finally Married!!

Darris and I were married on Feb. 13. It was a memorable day. It started off with pretty clear weather but just outside Des Moines it started to snow and the roads were getting slick. We watched as a woman two cars ahead of us lost control of her car, spun around, slid off the road, rolled onto her side and the car finally righted itself then stopped. Darris pulled over and stopped the car, we got out to see if we could help. Before I got out of the car I dialed 911 and handed the phone to Elle. Within a few minutes there was a police man on the scene. The woman was quite shaken and had hit her head on her door window and broke it out. The police helped her to his car. Darris,I and the kids were back in the car ready to pull into the lane when a red SUV slamed into the officers car missing him by two feet as he was making his way around his car. So this poor lady was hit twice. We got out again and the officer gave us his card (he was shaking) and told us to get back on the road. We got back in the car and told the kids what had happened and Scott imitated the officer by saying "Save yourselves it is too late for me!" Anyway the rest of the ride was a bit tense at times as semi trucks would pass and spray slush on us leaving us blind for longer than was comfortable. We finaly made it to Omaha. They had about 4-6 inches of new snow and the temple is on a hill. We made it to the visitors center to change but had to go back to the bottom of the hill to get a running start to make it to the temple. We made it just in time. The temple is beautiful of course. It was good to see Mom and Dad there and Phil and Andrea had flown in from Provo. We had a very nice dinner after the sealing and really enjoyed being together. I am so greatful that the Lord has seen fit to bless my life with Darris I know we will have many happy years ahead of us. By the way Glen, Darris said he was going to have to watch his soda pop while he is in Tulsa now that he is part of the family!!
