"OH DEER!"

We spent our first three months living in Alpine, Utah. Then we decided to up and move to Nashville, Tn. Of course we wanted to go there for Jeremy's music.. but we also had a job lined up where Jeremy sold pest control all summer long. We had apartments all ready for us to move into.. a steady job.. and working vehicles to get us to Nashville. Sounds like a dream come true.. right? :) Well.. we say goodbye to our loved ones- not knowing when we would see them next.. we say our goodbyes to Chuck and Gretchin.. or "Gretch and Chuckin" as Candace always accidently says.. we get everything in storage.. and our adventure had begun. We decided to drive two separate cars since we didn't know how long we would be there. So Jeremy drove "Dub" and Candace followed in "Deborah." We decided to go the very scenic route.. I counted a whole 2 trees while driving through Wyoming. But I am very glad we were protected from the wind by those cool wind blocker things on the side of the freeway. Well.. things were going great! We were on our way to Denver, Colorado where we would spend our first night at Brad and Julie's House (Jeremy's brother). The first night? How about the first week! As We were driving into Denver, Colorado a deer decided to take it's life as he jumped right in front of Jeremy's car. I was traveling right behind Jeremy.. we were on the freeway.. and I saw the entire thing. Here's how it went. We were going about 80 miles an hour (don't tell my grandma.. she always tells me to not go the speed limit.. but to go slower) and all the sudden this cute little prancing creature decides he wants to play "chicken" and darts across the highway to try to get to the other side. Well.. he makes it about half way across the freeway.. until Jeremy slams into him. AND THIS DEER FLEW!! He did like three 360's.. which I don't want to do the math to figure out what that is.. but it is A LOT! And he flew off the side of the road. Instantly I was running over pieces that were falling from Jeremy's car. Well to make a long story short.. we pulled off to the side of the road and were helped by some very nice people. Jeremy's car was pretty damaged.. there were deer guts all over it.. and little deer hairs all down the side of it. We did not have enough money to get it towed away.. so we decide to drive another hour to reach our destination. Jeremy drove with his hazards on, and I followed behind. We got pulled over by about three different cops.. in which I learned that when a cop pulls over your friend that is in front of you.. don't pull off the road behind the cop.. but pull off the road in front of your friend. :) Lesson of the day! :) Finally we made it to our destination.. it was late.. we were tired.. and we just killed a poor little deer. We took it into the shop the next day and found out it was going to be two weeks before the car was able to be fixed. Now I know that Brad and Julie REALLY wanted us to be there for two weeks.. actually I know that Abby REALLY wanted us to steal her room from her for two weeks.. but we decided we needed to get to Nashville. So.. we piled as much as we could in my car.. we both hopped in.. and off we went. I must admit the drive was a lot more fun with Jeremy than it was by myself. Things went smoothly.. we were able to stop by Brandee and Ian's place (Candace's sister) and stay there in Oklahoma for a couple nights. We ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant while we were there.. and we walked along a pretty path next to a river. We had fun staying with them and we appreciate them and Brad and Julie for letting us stay with you guys! After a couple days in Oklahoma we headed to Nashville. To be continued.. :)

Our First Blog

Howdy! Do you like our background? It was BY FAR the coolest one on here.. no offense to all you other bloggers who don't have cool robot/spaceship/flame/blue/space backgrounds! Anyways.. we are Jeremy and Candace.. and this is our first blog. We are new at this so if there is like tiny writing somewhere that you can't read.. or like white text on a white background.. we are terribly sorry. Anyways.. Lets start off by writing a little bit about ourselves. We like watching Jazz games.. Jeremy just turned the big thirty years old.. We like to play sports.. Jeremy is an amazing musician.. Candace likes to roller blade (and is the only one that roller blades on campus).. Well that's enough about us right? :) Tootles!
