Last weekend we began the "transfer" process... Since Keith and I had decided that we were going to stay in my parents RV for the next few months or so.. we needed to come to San Antonio in order to move into it and decided to stay here until just a few days before the next job started..
So last Saturday we moved our RV to another park and decided to let someone else stay in that one until we put it in storage, and they headed to San Antonio. We drove through some terrible hail storms and finally arrived in San Antonio late, late, late Saturday night. Keith had decided to drive back up to Big Spring with his friend in order to help his friend tow his RV to San Antonio. They left early in the day, and I worked on cleaning, organizing and moving into my parents RV.
Around 1:30am I got a very calm phone call from Keith. He had been in a really bad accident. I was terrified that he was not telling me every thing and jumped in the car and drove the 50 miles to where he was... They had been coming down a hill and his friend lost control of the vehicle when wind caught the RV. The RV had fallen to its side and the vehicle they were in went rolling.
Thank GOD they had their seatbelts on. Keith only had a few minor cuts and bruises on him. His seatbelt held him in his seat as they went rolling. Had either one of them not had their seatbelt on this story would have had a much different ending. For a long time I have been an advocate for seat belt wearing.. constantly pestering Keith to wear his.. begging him at times to put it on.... JUST IN CASE.

Words can not express how thankful I am that he had it on. & now he wears it every time he gets in the car. He said it is the scariest thing he has ever experienced, wondering at any moment if the walls of the vehicle would cave in on him.....
If you DON'T wear your seatbelt.... I highly recommend that you start...
I could have lost Keith that night, if it had not been for his seat belt....................

We had some stuff in the back of the friends RV. As soon as the Towing place opened, we helped him sift through all his things, and gather ours.
The skittles had been in Keith's lap in the passenger seat... this picture is of the drivers side..
