Travel to Minnesota

I'll post pictures of our car soon...

Joe and I decided to drive to Minnesota for christmas. It was peaceful and went by very quickly, until the last 150 miles. There was a storm we were trying to beat and we ended up right in the thick of it. The wind was gusting across the freeway blowing so much snow you couldn't see more than a few feet infront of you. Every mile or so there would be a pile of cars blown into the ditch. We were white knuckling it for about an hour and a half. Finally we were less than five miles from my mothers house and a gust of wind hit the car and at the same time I hit a patch of ice, we started to fishtale, I knew it was going to happen, "Oh no" I tried to pump the brakes and car started to spin, the front of the car spun into a snow bank, a WHOOSH of snow covered the entire car and I kept thinking in my head, "Please don't flip over, please don't flip over." We stopped with the front of the car facing the freeway and the rear of the car stuck in the bank. Joe tried to get out of his side of the car and had to dig it out. He was wearing sandles from this morning, when we left Texas it was 68 degrees, when we got to Minnesota seventeen hours later it was -6 degrees. Literally 30 seconds after he got out of the car a man pulled over and towed us out of the bank and we made it to my mothers house. The bumper was hanging off the left side of the car, but the rest of the body looked fine. We are fine but a little shook up. eh.
