I realized I haven’t updated about our recent car accident. Thank you for all your prayers and sweet words. We really appreciate all our loving, caring friends. We are still praising God that He PROTECTED us!

Our Civic is fixable to the tune of $9000….ouch….(obviously, we are not the ones paying for it) we were hoping it would be totaled since we didn’t want to have to deal with an “almost totaled” car again. This happened to us 5 years ago. We had our new Forester for 2 weeks and we were traveling up to Boston and a guy in a RED SPORTS car cuts off a car 6 CARS ahead of us and we were in a 6 cars pile up. Seth and I were driving separate cars b/c we were going to give his old honda civic to his brother. Both cars were destroyed and the old civic didn’t make it and the Forester came within $1000 of being totaled, BUT they fixed it and we have had problems ever since. That is another story. Oh, and that accident happened 2 days before my first Christmas aways from home. Yeah, not too fun.

See why I don’t trust people on the road! Here is what has happened in my life and why I am freaked out by other drivers:

-When I was 17, I was taking a girl I babysat to her friends house. I was sitting at a stop light and a HUGE truck slammed into the back of us.

-Five years ago, a guys cuts us off (story above)

-When I was pregnant, again I was sitting at a stoplight and another TRUCK slammed into me. (remember that drama…had to be rushed to hospital to make sure Abel was ok.)

-And now this. We were just going through a green light and we get slammed into because SOMEONE wasn’t obeying the law.

It takes me years to recover from accidents and poor Seth…I know I can drive him crazy when we are in the car. I think everyone is out to get us and not paying attention, but can you kinda understand why I am like this. I am always in the wrong place at the wrong time and if I am had this much bad luck with BAD DRIVERS…how many bad drivers are out there?

I’m experiencing some back and neck pain and I am dealing with the doctor visits and such right now, but I can’t complain. We are here and I have my boys! Life is too precious!

On a lighter and more happier note….here is my very happy and loving son!
(if you look closely you can see his VERY large swollen gums…he STILL hasn’t got his molars…it has taken over 3 months…come on molars, we are so anxious to see you!)

And this one makes me laugh….trying to squeeze into a little basket.
