It was the best of days.. it was the worst of days...

Okay.. so first off.. I will start by saying.. what an adventureful saturday! You might be looking at these pictures and start to panic.. but no worries everything turned out just fine!

Backing up a little bit..

A couple days before Saturday

Wess: KYLEE! Do you want to go on a date four wheeling on Friday?
Kylee: Oh my! That sounds like so much fun! I would love to!
Wess: Sweet! We will pick you up at eleven am on Saturday. Oh, and do you possibly have a friend who would want to come too? My friend needs a date :)
Kylee: My roomate Melanie would love to!
Wess: Sweet! Sounds like a plan! See ya then!

And that was how this whole adventure started :)

On Saturday they were right on time! Me and Mel were stoked! We were so excited to hang out with these cute nice boys and just have a great time! So, we got to Joel's (Mel's date) house and hopped on the four wheelers.. and I was wondering why they didn't give us helmets to wear.. but I didn't ask.. but anyway.. so there was

three couples. Me and Wess, Mel and Joel, and Kurt and Ashley. And there were three four wheelers so we just rode together. Oh my it was so much fun! We got to this hidden lake in the mountains and there was this giant rope swing and everyone jumped off of it into the f

reezing lake except me and Ash.. I should have done it, but I was such a chicken.. that water looked freezing :) The boys started a campfire and we roa

sted hot dogs and we had such a fun picnic. Honestly, it was one of the funnest things I have ever done. It was so nice being up in the mountains and getting away for a little bit. The boys were so nice.. actually some of the nicest, funniest guys I have ever met.. So good company, good food, great activity, beautful

wa

rm day.. it couldn't get any better.

Well the boys drove the four wheelers to the lake and so they wanted the girls to have their turn and drive back to Joel's house. Well Me and Wess headed out first and Mel and Joel were right behind us, and Kurt and Ash were right behind them.. Well we were about ten minutes away from Joel's house and me and Wess had just went around this big hill. Right before we went over

it we looked back and sure enough Mel was right behind me. Well we look back about a minute later and I was completely dissoritented.. I had no idea where I was.. this was definately not the way we had came. So, me and Wess decided to wait for everyone, and after five minutes of waiting we decided to keep going, because Wess knew where I was at. Well my phone starts to ring just as we were getting out of the canyon.. so I answered it, and it was Joel saying "Kylee you need to come back to that big hill" and I asked what was wrong and he said "We rolled the

four wheeler.." And I asked if he was okay.. he was and then I asked if Mel was okay. He seemed panicked and said he didn't know. She was concious but couldn't get up.

Wess and me hurried back

When we got there Mel was just laying there on the hill on her stomach. there was a jeep that was "diggin" or four wheelin.. and we flagged him down and he came over.. he happened to be in the emt class and he took a look at her and called the ambulance.

The ambulance came.

They put Mel on a stretcher wrapped her all up like on all the movies and put her in the ambulance. I got to ride in the ambulance with her.. I got to sit in the front seat. I've never got to be in an ambulance before, so that in itself was quite the adventure! I was amazed Melanie didn't cry once. She had the bravest face I have ever seen.. and all of the emt's were grandpa's and Mel made best friends with them! I admire her so much!

We arrived at the hospital

I'm not too familiar with hospitals I have never been in the ER.. but man that is a happinin and busy place. It took the doctors four hours to take all of the X-rays and to figure out what to do.. the doctors in smaller towns don't always have the equipment they need.. so they decided to send Mel up North in an ambulance. They wouldn't let me ride in the ambulance this time.. And those cute boys were exhausted.. by this time it was eight at night and they had been waiting in the waiting room all night.. anyway I told them to go home, and I just started crying.. I had been tough all day, and had called Mel's parents to tell them the details.. I just broke when I got into my car. I called my friend Jared.. and Jared drove me up north to meet Mel's parents at the Provo hospital. Mel ended up being okay.. she got to provo and the doctor said there would be no surgery and nothing was really broken except her wrist. . and she was very very lucky.

Me and Jared got back to ephraim about three am.. what a crazy day! I am so thankful that Mel is okay! It has put me in such a reflective mood.. Life's can be taken away so fast.. IT makes me so grateful for the people in my life and for just every second!
