Miracles Happen..

Now that I've had a very long, hot shower and a chance to brush my teeth..I've regrouped my thoughts and have a solid story to write. As you know, I've been in Florida - the flight there was my first flight ever. Megan, her boyfriend, and I decided to drive back to save a little money...well, here's what happened.

We didn't leave Palm Beach until 7:30pm Tuesday, much to my dismay due to my lack of night vision. I drove the first three hours and then Jonny, Megan's boyfriend, took over while she rested up for her shift. I couldn't sleep so I just kept him company while he drove. Megan had just woken up at about 2am when we started to feel the car vibrate a bit, almost like driving over the rumble strip...except that we weren't. Then the car started swerving and I ask what's going on, thinking(hoping) Jonny was messing around. All he replies with is, "Girls, hold on!" So I did. We spun across I-75 in Georgia from the left lane to the right shoulder, somehow avoiding the 4 cars directly behind us - one of which being a semi. The back right tire had blown. We drove 3 miles on the shoulder to the nearest exit with a hotel. We got to the tire place first thing in the morning, thankfully the rim hadn't been bent from the drive, but all 4 tires did need to be replaced due to the spinning. I literally have no idea how we got out of it alive, all I can say is THANK GOD. Now I sleep.
