Okay so just today I was thinking how lucky I am that I've only had one ticket and that was when I was sixteen. (Just never been caught) And I have never been in an accident. (Just when I ran into my brother-in-laws prized chevy dually, sorry about that Mike) Well that all changed while I was coming down Washington today with all three of my girls! Do you ever have those moments when you think " Are you serious right now!"
So the first thing I do when we get into our car is say "Does everone have their seat belt on." Thinking that since I have reminded them that of course they will promptly strap them on. Well never again will I do that. Stinken Hannah is going to be the death of me. I'm just so thankful that my kids were safe and that the other two vehicles passengers were not harmed either.(except for their cars)
I can't tell you how nice these people were after I had t-boned them. They were asking me if I was o.k. They gave me hug and said sorry we had to meet under these circumstance. I had a lady wait with me until Mike got there. I had another lady stop and give my girls a snack. I 'm thinking this whole time "I have just put your cars out of commission for a while and you are being nice to me." I couldn't believe these people were for real. I honestly don't think I would have given a person a hug for running in to me. It has really made me stop and think that things could have been so much worse and that I am one luck lady to have been spared so much.

I know what you mean. This past July I got in a car accident with my three kids. I rammed into some old people's car (newly bought car). I think of the positives. I totalled my car and finally got a mini-van. Yippee.
I'm so sorry! Glad to hear you and the girls are alright. I'm also glad that you ran into nice people!
I'm so sorry Taryn!!! This was on Thursday? Wow, you had a crazy day!!! Is that the day you all overslept and were running behind, right? I'm glad everyone is alright!
I'm SO GLAD you and your kids were alright. =)
Taryn!!! O my gosh, How scary! I'm so glad everyone is ok! Glad you guys will be moving closer to us!
Tayrn! I am so glad that you are all okay! And that is so great of those women to be so kind, it makes me think about how I would react.. hopefully like they did. We miss you guys so much and hope that the move is going well. Hope your new place is all that you hope for, but know we are missing you here!
