So I haven't posted since 2008 (well Dec 31,2008) because I just haven't felt it. I was/might still be really dissapointed with how 2009 started. I'll give you a smidge of insight into how we started 2009, but not too much as we are still dealing with it all.
So I'll start with Dec 31 - Hubby and I had decided that we wanted to stay close to home since the streets are generally LOADED with drunk party goers after midnight (maybe even before) on Dec 31 - so we headed over to our Pastor's house. He lives less than 10 mins from us, as a pose to my parents who live about 30 mins or my inlaws who also live about 30 away. Anyway, we partied it up eating good food (Fajitas) playing games (UNO, Concentration) and watching fireworks (we live further away from the city that it's ok to do them here)
Anyway so at 2:30am Jan 1, we left their house to go home. As we are approaching a stop light, hubby(who is driving) notices from the rearview mirror that a big car is coming pretty fast and is going to hit us. We are almost at the stop and out of nowhere the big car hits us from behind. It felt like we were in movie. Things just started moving fast and I couldn't believe it. I grabbed the steering wheel because we were going to hit another car and I jerked it my way to avoid the car and we ended up in the middle of the intersection. There are a lot of other details that I could go into, but we have not finished dealing with this and I am not sure what I would want to say.
I will say this. The car that hit us was in fact a big car - it was a HUMMER.
Accidents happen, but this was just tough. We are very blessed to have survived a hit from a HUMMER, but what a heck of a way to start the year!
My next post will be what I would have written probably the next day (Jan 2) if we had not gotten into a car accident... which by the way, hubby's car is totaled... : (
Hasta!
Adri
