I'm Alive!





filling out the police report (oh poor pregnant driver sheesh)

In this one the car door is shut as much as it can be. It was snowing in the car on our way back, too bad you can't see completely but it was pretty crazy how damaged her one door was.


TOO TOO Many car crashes for one weekend!

So I won't give a very detailed description of the first one because it's boring and well I basically hit ice and scrapped the bumper of a parked car (which the owner of had been hit 2 times already that day). HOWEVER I will say this: it was a miracle that I did not injure my car and that I only scratched his! Man oh man! I came home that night feeling a bit scared about having to pay for his scratches but mostly just grateful and relieved that I wasn't going faster than 20 miles an hour and that the owner was so nice AND that I was safe and not injured!

SOOOOOOOOOOO let's get to the exciting freeway accident which then occurred Saturday afternoon! I was with my 3 friends coming back from a bridal expo in Salt Lake (which was really fun-good food :) ) and my friend Melissa (who is pregnant p.s.) is driving (she drives a suburban luckily). So we're going about 70 in the middle lane when all of a sudden a little yellow car cuts in front of us and zooms off. Then it all happened really fast:

I see out of the corner of my eye this white car and the sound of breaks. The white car comes head on to the drivers door (I'm sitting behind the driver) and then the white car spins out of control repeatedly across the freeway to the left side. Some how we end up on the right side of the freeway with out hitting anything or anyone. So police come, we call 911, ambulance fire truck etc. Still the girl does not come out of the white car. They shut down the freeway for 2 minutes and pull her car to the other side and take her out on a stretcher. Everyone in our car was fine. SOOOOOO WHAT HAPPENED?

Our conclusion is that the white and yellow cars were racing, the yellow sped off and the white lost control. The girl in the white car is not seriously injured to my knowledge, her neck just hurt and she some how could not remember anything that had happened...hmmm...

SOOOOOOOO It's a MIRACLE!
Why do you ask?

-we were in a big car- in a smaller one someone would have been injured for sure
-no glass shattered
-Melissa wasn't texting, distracted,or going to fast when hit
-No other cars were damaged in the process

I feel so incredibly blessed! A car full of 4 girls-2 engaged to be married in the temple, 1 a soon to be mother, and me a soon to be missionary. Wow. I am so incredibly grateful to a Heavenly Father who is constantly aware of His children and who watches out for us when we don't even realize that we need watching out for! ------this last picture was at the wedding expo I thought it would be good to end on a happy note!

Is Melissa usually texting, distracted or driving too fast? Maybe you need a new driver. . . .
