What a ride!

So much has happened in just a few short months … In June, I got married, in July I was in a car accident … the question is – what does August hold for me?

During the process of getting married, I learned a lot of things. There are things that I knew already – like there are people that are inpatient. This is my first marriage as well as Dan’s first. So, we knew we wanted to make our relationship permanent. That meant getting legally married. The young lady at the courthouse seemed a little irritated that we were not familiar with the proceedings … sucks for her. ROFL – long story short, we are now LEGALLY married. There are some people out there that would argue that I we aren’t – and I say to them – ok, if you say so. My marriage license says otherwise.

On July 26, Dan and I had a pretty busy morning/afternoon … we went to the dealership to get maintenance done on my car (a little overdue). It was no big deal because there was a car show going on, so that kept Dan occupied. Anyway, by 130p my car was ready … man – o – man she was riding smooth – I should have had the work done earlier. He and I headed out afterwards to have brunch. Our meal was decent and then we headed home just to chill for a bit.

We headed out again to head over to the church for 5p mass. Mass was what it usually was for us – refreshing. After mass was done we were feeling pretty good and started our journey back home …

What I remember is: MercyMe singing “The Change Inside of Me” … then I said to Dan, “Oh God. Dan … he isn’t stopping.”

My car was hit on the driver’s side.

We were shoved off of 17/92 onto an abandoned home’s lawn. The bushes and tree branches helped my car to stop.

I was HYSTERICAL.

Dan helped calm me down. He called my parents. And a passerby called the police.

Thank God – we were not hurt.

Right now we are waiting. It sounds like my car is fine. They tell me I should have it back by Tuesday …

Desire, ask, believe, receive.
