Broken...

So this weekend was pretty insane. Friday was full of work, homework and trying to take care of my house and sick kitten, oh and did I mention more homework? After all that fun stuff, I was looking forward to Saturday. We had plans to go out to dinner with my family for my siblings birthdays! (Happy Birthday Dusty and Boots!) We had a great time with the family and ate some yummy food. Well during dinner my honey got a text from our good friend Todd. He invited us to go to the Utah Blaze football game at the E-center. So we left after the festivities and headed up to Salt Lake.





As we headed to the game we all of a sudden saw the car in front of us swerved to the left into traffic. (We were both in the far right lane about to exit off the freeway) And there was a big ol' trash can sitting in the middle of our lane. Split second decision and we swerved to the right. Our car started fish tailing. fish tailing some more. starting to straighten out. And then out of no where, our car decides to start spinning in circles. and run into the cement wall. and spin again. hit the wall again. and stop. So there we are on the freeway having spun in circles and smashed into the cement wall. We hadn't hit anyone else (A miracle!) and we were only a little banged up. Very lucky indeed. This guy who saw the whole thing stopped to make sure we were ok. So nice of him. And said he was shocked we did not roll the car we were spinning so fast.


We survived! I am so thankful that Scott is such a good driver. I know he kept us as under control as he could. If I was driving- who knows what would have happened. Our poor car is totalled and we have only had it for 10 or so months. It was brand new. *sigh* I am glad we are ok though! You can always buy a new car... but you can't buy a new honey.

  3. Omg, I am so sorry. I am glad that you are okay though! I got into a wreck recently also, it is not fun, and dealing with insurance companies is a pain in the neck.

    Hopefully you heal quickly from the whiplash. :)
