Date night anyone?

Well…for those of you haven’t heard yet…Jared and I have had quite the weekend. On our way to St. Louis for a most fabulous date night…a 19 year old girl decided to blow a stop sign while crossing the highway…the highway we were driving on. She pulled out right in front of us (she said she didn’t even notice our car…nice)…Jared noticed what she did and immediately slammed on the breaks. So fortunately she didn’t hit our car head on. Instead…the back of her car clipped the front of ours. Our poor car looks like some sort of deranged monster took a bite out of the front of it. We’re ok though…just a little sore today…the other driver was fine too. She quickly admitted that she didn’t take the stop and wasn’t paying attention and that it was her fault….which it was. It was a crazy long night…part of which was spent sitting on the side of the road…waiting for the cops to finish writing up the report and waiting for our ride to pick us up.  We got back home and decided that we weren’t going to let it ruin our night…and that sitting at home would only make us paranoid and stressed. So we got the truck and headed back for the bbq we were after in the first place. It was delicious! This morning has been spent on the phone with insurance…the place where our car got towed…and the place we were having it moved to. We’ll find out on Monday what the total damage is. Luckily, since we’re not at fault, the girl’s insurance will be taking care of everything. We’re just thankful that it wasn’t any worse…and that cars can be fixed. I’m sure it will take a few days for the nerves to calm down…or for our stiff necks to feel better….but we’ll get there. So that’s life right now…good times.Â
