Amy was following us, she slept at our house the night before. Josh takes a wrong turn, I said we needed to go the other way. Josh decides that instead of having to turn and back up, he'd just swing it with a wide turn. I said, "Josh, don't get us stuck." He says, "Oh Kimberlee, we're not going to get stuck, we have 4 wheel drive." What happens.... we get stuck. Now in Josh's defense, he didn't know that under all of that snow was a ditch.
A man was driving by on his way to church and offered us help. He went back home, which was just up the street, got on his coveralls and brought his tractor down. Yes, his tractor. That probably would have been the only thing to actually pull us out. It even took a bit with the tractor. We were so blessed to have him come by and help us.
We got on our way. We had already figured we weren't going to make it. It was far past 11. We got there and there must have been lots of announcements because as we walked into the chapel they were announcing that they were going to do Kyle's blessing then. We made it just in time, Josh just walked right up to the circle and was able to participate. We were so blessed, I couldn't believe that it wasn't over. Lots and lots of crying!
We then went back to Marie's and stuffed ourselves sick. Never has there been an Alleman get together were there wasn't enough food to feed an Army and at that, lots and lots of good food! Thanks again Marie for making my favorite Oreo dessert. I had my camera and meant to take pictures while we were there and I completely forgot. My camera was in Amy's car just in case the Pathfinder rolled.

Wow! Can't believe you made it. That guy made me remember that people can be great! Sometimes it's hard to remember that!
I still cannot believe that happened!! It was so crazy, one minute I'm driving down the road and then I turn around and see you guys ready to topple over! Insane! And yes, in Josh's defense, you couldn't tell that was a ditch, the snow was so high. So something I would have done, he just beat me to it. I was so glad when you guys made it for the blessing. What awesome timing!!
