August 1,2,3 Was a Family Reunion up in Medford Oregon Where My Grandparents live and can't Travel. As I said in my Last post Aaron Stayed home to try and win a Mustang which he didn't win! So Myself, Self and My sister got in the Car with my Parents and drove in one car instead of two to get there. My Parents Stayed in Oregon for a Wedding on Friday the 8th a 90th birthday Party on Saturday! So we were hoping to get a Ride home with Someone Else, Well My 2 cousins and aunt and uncle who went up to the reunion from salt lake city, didn't have room or were leaving later than we wanted to get back! So We rented a Car Monday Morning and Started driving home. About 3:30 NV I was on Hwy 140 headed south toward Winnemucca, Nevada! Not sure Why but I went off on the Soft Shoulder of the Road and then, tried to return to the road over Corrected and went back off the Road and Rolled our little Kia Rio! Dori and Seth were Asleep when it happened and Woke up Immediately, No One was Knocked out. We landed on the Passenger Side! I was Able to undo My Seat Belt, Stand up and Get Seth out of his Car seat( Thank Goodness For Car seats, Never Drive a Baby Without a Car seat, NEVER) Dori Was Talking to me so I knew she would probably be okay but I was going to put Seth down to help her, I was able to Crawl Out the window and When I got out I saw that a Van had stopped and 2 guys were calling for help, as Soon as the guy saw me he ran over and asked if we were OK. They Were Able to tip the car onto it's Wheels so Dori was now sitting up! She was hurt but didn't feel like anything was Broken! Another Man Stop now, He was an off Duty Police Officer out hunting! He was able to get one of the doors open and get Dori out of the Car! Lo and behold we were all able to WALK (or be carried as it was in Seth's Case) From this Rollover! We traveled by Ambulance to Winnemucca Nevada (Longest Drive In my Life) Dorothy and I both had Neck Braces on and the neck brace comes up to the middle of the back of your head and it was rubbing the entire way home. My head was hurting so bad. Fairly Shortly after we got to The Airport, My aunt and uncle show up. they were about an hour and half away when the Accident happened. My aunt had a Prompting to Call my Mother and ask if we needed help! My mother had just heard we were in an accident and asked if they could turn around to be with us! at the Hospital they checked us all out, X-Ray on my shoulder where the seat belt had been! They did a CT Scan and Chest Scan on Dori, to make sure everything in her head was OK! She had about a tablespoon of dirt in her ear! A While Later We were Discharged! Everything OK! My Uncle took me and Seth with a borrowed Car seat from the Hospital over to a Hotel to wait for Aaron to show up and then brought Dori and my aunt! We had to wait until the next day to get our stuff out of the car! My aunt and uncle went shopping for some clothes for us at Walmart! so we would have some clean clothes to wear after we showered and got cleaned up! about 9:30 Aaron finally showed up! The Next Morning, we drove to get all the stuff out of our car! Yay my cell phone was in the car and survived the crash! I am putting pictures of the car up here! when I recover a bit i will put more pictures of our actual reunion before the accident Happened!

Even though your first memory of me wasn't pleasant, and I hope we've made better ones - HOLY BAZZOLI BATMAN!!! I am sooo greatful that you guys are ok! What's the deal with the Mardis family and car acidents???? Take care!
Oh my gosh! I am so glad that you are all okay. That is so scary and those pictures really make a person realize how blessed you all were to make it out in one piece. Wow!
Wow! You know you had angels watching out for you. I am VERY happy to hear you all were okay.
Oh my goodness! I'm so glad you are all okay and were able to walk away. I'm glad you're feeling better too. That is so terrifying. What a HUGE blessing!
