My husband ~ What a guy!!!

So we spent 4 long days in California trying to find a house! We looked at like...25 houses! It was A LOT of houses! We found a couple that are very workable but nothing that jumped out. We're back home now and we are finishing getting all the financial stuff in order. Hopefully, we'll be ready in about 3 weeks to do it all over again!!! =)

Anyway, Hailey had a birthday party to go to yesterday (Mon) so we were going to pick her up on our way out of town. We hit some traffic but nothing too terrible. All of a sudden the car in front of us started swerving really badly. Then Steve yells out to call 911. Freaked me out! What we saw was horrible. The guy in the car was hitting the female in his car. Brutally. Elbows and such. He was so preoccupied with her that he wasn't paying attention and was swerving into all 3 lanes. Steve was on the phone with highway patrol and was giving them a account of what was going on. We gave them the make/model of the car and the license plate number. The highway patrol actually asked Steve to follow the guy at a safe distance. So we did. The guy pulled onto the shoulder real abruptly and tossed her out of the car. He then took off down the offramp and left her walking along the side of the freeway. We pulled to the side with our hazard lights on and asked her if she was ok. She says yea, she's fine and keeps walking. The highway patrol said that they had someone on the way and to stay with her. We just slowly stayed behind her then realized that he had pulled over at the end of the offramp and was screaming at her from a few hundred feet away. She just kept walking towards him. He then got back into his car and started going in reverse up the off ramp. Cars were having to move out of his way. He then hit the side guard rail which ignited his anger even more. He started yelling at her again. We were told to stay with them, that help was coming. She started to get back into the car, but he speed off. He pulled over again and she kept walking towards him. She eventually got back into the car and we started following them again. Still waiting for the police. He ran a red light so we got stuck but we could still see him. We managed to catch up and at about the same time 3 police cars showed up. They pulled him over right away. We were able to then go up the street and turn around (since we were going in the opposite direction of where we needed to be). As we came back passed them we could see that he was cuffed and on the curb, she was in a cop car and the police were searching his car.

Oh my gosh were we shaking. I would like to think that we saved her life and the lives of the drivers on the freeway since he was driving so badly. It would've been only a matter of time before he just hit another car in his tyraid! We just had to pray for her that she doesn't put herself back into that situation. It was real scarry to see a man attacking a women...in the car no doubt!

I was proud of Steve that he took the time to get involved. You know some people would've kept driving and said "that's sad" or called the police but not get too invloved. I'm proud of him... =)
