Dude? Really?!

This is promised to be an interesting post. Im going to start out with the wife(trinity) and mines "adventure" last night. Around 5 pm Trin, Tristan and I headed out to BFE Vernal to pick up her kids who were with grandma. Its like a 2 1/2 drive. Tristan pretty much fell asleep right away and I dozed off for a little bit. On the way out it was pretty uneventful. Well ok thats a lie. Trin and I NEVER have a dull moment together. We basically talked and made fun of nowheres ville and were just well, being us. When we FINALLY arrived at her moms Tristan was excited to get out and play with Kelton. But Kelton was feeling really really sick so T chashed cats instead. We were there for a couple of hours and those hours were nothing but laughing and snorting. Her mom and step dad are awesome and yet crazy. In a good way. After a couple of hours and torture to both of us from her cats and our allergies we were on the road again. She got mad at me earlier for not telling her about a lot of things and "opening up" to her since she's my wife and I should. So I did. We talked for most of the drive. We got to Strawberry Reservoir (for you Utah people) and about 10 minutes to Heber. We were going pretty slow since there was a crap ton and a half of deer, moose and Elk that decided to be very close to us. Trin made a comment that we were going to hit a deer. I responded "Hit a deer I pee in your car." Her response "You pee in my car I pee in your face...i mean...you get what I mean." Which started a laugh fest. We keep chugging along slowly and all of a sudden Mr. Kelton decides to throw up. A LOT!! So Trin pulls off to the side of the road. My thought...we are screwed. She stops and we slid a little bit more into the snow. We help Kelton and by this point this pregnant lady is going to explode if she doesn't go to the bathroom PRONTO. My door is snowed in. So i jump out the driver seat and relive myself. Now I am FREEZING!! Trin leaves me standing in the road in the dark on this highway with crazy deer so she can try and rock the car. It just gets stuck more. Neither of us have service. After awhile I see headlights and stand up on the seat to flag this person down. A guy stops and is first worried we hit an animal. Nope just a barfy child. He said he can try and help push. Well together Trin and I make a 10 yr old. Im pregnant and she has a broken hand. So we are not much help. After a while more of no such luck and semi after semi passes us and freezes us more the guy flags a car coming in the opposite direction. Car slows and rolls window down. I see a woman. I turn to Trinity "we are screwed. Its another woman." Was I WRONG!!! This lady gets outta the car, basically tells the guy shes got this and starts digging out snow. I mean on hands and knees digging and getting snowy. Trin and I look at eachother and our jaws drop. She stands up gets in the car and starts rocking. It worked for a min but then slid. Meanwhile Kelton is in the car looking as miserable as he feels and Tristan is SCREAMING his head off. Im STARVING and shaky and wife is cold. So wonder woman asks the guy if he has any rope or anything. He has some small tie downs and they hook that to the car. Her car is a Hyundai. I was surprised she was gonna try with her car and not ask for the guys SUV. So she pulls and it snaps. Tries again. made it move but snapped. After second snap a truck started slowing and pulled over ahead of us. He was pulling a jeep on a trailer so he had bigger tie downs. They hook em up and out comes the car. First guy leaves and The lady starts to slowly pull away. Well we still weren't completely un-stuck. So she pulled for a min and we were free. We thanked both and we on our way. We started our again slow descent down the canyon with more animals. We made it almost out of Provo canyon and Kelton starts throwing up and choking on it. Not good. We pull off luckily there is no snow this time. Quickly help him and were off again. About 1/2 mile up the road the big truck guy was pulled over waiting till we passed just to make sure. It was really really nice of him and he didn't have to but we sure appreciated him doing so. We FINALLY got home after 1 am. I was exhausted and still starving and even though I should have I didn't eat. I was way to sick feeling to do so. I passed out as soon as I hit the bed. Tristan was hyper like someone gave him drugs. Needless to say it was one of the best days ever. Even though we got stranded. As least some amazing people stopped to help.
