We were in an accident last night. 5 miles outside of Moab we slid off the road and flipped the truck. We landed passenger side down and everyone was suspended from their seat belts. We had to climb out of my window. No one was seriously injured...THANK HEAVEN! We were definitely being watched over last night!
The truck broke its rear axle and our tires came clean off. No much body damage and NO broken windows! My kids were in shock and crying as I pulled them out of the wreckage but we were able to walk away. Thankfully a highway patrol was there and witnessed the whole thing so he was able to call in for help within seconds.
Alex is suffering a swollen and bruised face and Tori has a severe seat belt rash and Garrett and I have sore necks and backs and Benton was 100% okay. We are so blessed that we had our seat belts on and strapped into car seats. Minutes before the wreck I let the girls unbuckle so I could paint their nails then Garrett insisted they buckle seconds before we began to slide. INSPIRED!
We are counting our blessings today! Pictures to come.

I'm so glad that you are all alright. That is scary! What a blessing that the kids were all buckled in time. So- if you drove through Moab- did you drive through Cortez (we're 20 minutes north)? You had better stop by and see me sometime if that is your route!
So scary. Glad you are all ok.
We are so glad that you guys are all right! What a scary experience!
Wow! We stopped in Monticello last night. You must have been a head of us. From Monticello to Moab the roads were scarey this morning. Glad you are ok. Hope you all feel better fast.
The same thing happened Frank & I about 15 years ago when we were hauling some cheerleaders back from a football game! Its pretty scary knowing you are going to roll and theres nothing you can do about it! Our windows were shattered and one of the girls got some small pieces of glass in her face, but other than that, we were all OK... so, I know how you feel! I am glad you are all OK! Hope you can enjoy the wedding. HOW WILL YOU GET HOME??
Wow BJ! That is so scary! Soooo glad that everyone is OK. What a blessing. Dang, and it looks like you guys got a new truck! Bummer :( I hope you guys stay safe for the rest of your trip!
How scary. So glad it wasn't any worse. Yay for seatbelts!
Even after hearing about your story last night, reading about it and seeing those pictures gave me the chills - bad. I'm so glad you are all ok, and I absolutely loved seeing you last night!!
Those pictures are so scary. It really is a miracle that none of you got seriously injured.
I am so glad you came last night. It was so GREAT to see you, I've missed you so much. Thanks for coming...I'm sure you were feeling pretty shaken up inside.
WOW that's crazy! Glad you are all ok.
Bj! I'm so glad you are safe!! I can't imagine how scary this would have been! I'm so glad that everyone buckled up last minute! I love you and am so glad that I know you!
So scary! Glad to hear you are all ok!
Inspired indeed! Thank God you are all okay!
Oh my gosh!! I am so glad you guys are okay. What a great reminder to always listen to the spirit's promptings!
How scary! I'm so glad you are all okay!
I'm dying to hear a follow-up on the accident. Did you make it back home okay? What will you do with your abandoned truck?
Oh, BJ, it is so wonderful that Garrett was inspired to ask you all to buckle up. The results could have been so tragic otherwise. So glad you are all okay.
P.S. The kids request that when you get a new truck, that you not get a red one like ours. They said they had tried to get into your blue one too many times when we had our blue one!
I just heard...Glad you are all ok!!! Scary!!! Hope all is safe and good for you at home. Kara
Oh my gosh! That is frightening. I am so glad that you were all safe. The Lord definately protects you...I have found.
I am so happy you are safe & well. Rachel looks very happy. tell her congrats
