Here Comes The Sun!

We made it! After a very long, but slightly entertaining ride Nicole and I made it to Utah. But... what's a road trip with a little adventure??? So... I'm about the DUMBEST driver in the world. Seriously.. I didn't even know how to cross the border alone, because when I'm not the driver I don't have to worry about it... the driver deals with it.... So she coached me through it. We made it fine. One step down, just the grueling mountain pass in Montana, a long and very boring Idaho, and then I'd be in Utah again!

We stopped in Dillon, Montana to pee because honestly I was dying... I asked the lady how to get back onto the freeway so we could continue on... she told me, but it was 1 in the morning and it went in one ear and out the other... So after taking a detour on a nice gravel road (listening to my gps) we made it back to gravel. Well I wasn't even paying attention to signs or speed, and I was driving and all of a sudden... lights start flashing. I got pulled over. I'm not proud of what I said, or what happened after that... but the officer came to my window and asked me how I was . Keeping my composure (very surprising considering the circumstances) I told him I was SO lost. He told me I was speeding, and whatnot. then we took my license and registration back to his car and I sat there for a half an hour... the same words coming out of my mouth... HALF AN HOUR! It was ridiculous. He came back, told me I was going to get a written warning, and I honestly thanked him (is that stupid?) for not giving me a ticket. haha. I'm such a nerd.... then I asked him if he could tell me how to get back to the I-15.. cause I was still lost..

All the while I didn't even cry. We zoomed on down the interstate and reached Rexburg by 2:30. Justin took over then.. which was a relief. Utah construction is crazy! We reached the Schwendiman's at 8 in the morning, and everyone crashed but me. I could not sleep. I was just too tired! Longest night of my life! But, adventures are still to be had! :) I didn't hit a deer, I didn't run out of gas, and I didn't fall asleep at the wheel. Nicole is safe, and I now know that I can do it! :)
