The Little Things: View from a Window

Keith has been on an journey these past two weeks. An adventurous and treacherous journey! Keith signed up to work on a 2-3 month job in North Dakota as a safety manager or "safety guy" as he calls it, with Rocky Mountain Fabrication. Before the job started, Keith was required to make the trek out to Salt Lake City, Utah for training. Since Keith worked in Utah for 9 months back in 2005-2006, he was excited to see old friends of ours! After that, Keith headed to Tioga, North Dakota. It was amazing to see the different landscapes as Keith drove from state to state.

Toward the end of the trip, and with only a few hours to go, Keith had a car accident. While pulling the trailer with his truck across Butte, Montana, it started to snow sideways. Keith was driving 30 mph and a few miles from his exit when an 18-wheeler flew past him, pushing him across ice and into a ditch. We were thankful to God that he was not injured. Only the truck and trailer were damaged! This was a big scare for all of us, but he was okay and learned from the experience.

Keith made it to North Dakota a couple of days later and is now enjoying -14 degree weather! We're hoping there are no more twists and turns while he is out there working and that he will return home safely in a few months. We love you sweetie!

Here are photos Keith sent me while traveling across our great country (as well as shots of the truck and trailer damage).
