Driving home for Christmas

So this is our scary adventure driving to New Mexico from Colorado for Christmas. We thought the roads would be o.k., because the news said they were and once we got to the 3rd pass that we had to drive over, the sign said that chains were required. So Mark put our chains on and by now it was a blizzard, there was snow covered the roads and it was hard to see. We started driving and we realized the chains were to big and the drivers side was hitting the side of our car and making a horrible sound. There was nothing we could do, because we couldn't pull over there was no side of the road, so we kept driving and then the drivers side chain fell off. Right after that we hit a icy spot and it shot us to the right and we hit that snow bank and then it shot us to the left which was the cliff side (the side you die on) and luckily the snow bank was so high that we hit it and it stopped us, once the snow fell off our car we could see that we were hanging off the ledge a little bit. I was sure panicking, but trying not to hyperventilate. I kept telling Mark not to move, because i still thought we could go over anytime. Luckily a plow truck was behind us and after 15 minutes of sitting in our car he was able to pull us out. Then because of the chain hitting our car it messed up our defrost and our wipers. So we had to drive a few minutes down the road while i kept wiping the windshield so Mark could see, before we could pull off and fix them. We got them fixed and we still had to drive 20 minutes down the pass to get to a town. It was dark and we still only had 1 chain on our tire. It was very stressful. We finally made it to Chama and there was a huge storm there, so we were stuck overnight at a motel and the next day wasn't any better. But we went ahead and bought new chains and drove 4 hours home, even though it was only suppose to take 1 1/2 hrs. Needless to say we were glad to get there.
