The other day when I wrote I was thinking "we need a new picture for our blog" Well now we've got one:) So who knew I would be writing again so soon!!:) It's not Chris this time - it's Megan. This morning I received a phone call from a woman that I didn't know that told me Megan was ok but that she had been in a car accident. She then put Meg on the phone I couldn't understand what she was saying she was crying so hard, so the woman got on the phone again and told me where she was. I left Tay, Jacob and Katie at home because they weren't ready to go. I told them that I would take them to school later after I took care of Meg. One of the first things that came to my mind was "Please Heavenly Father let someone that Meg knows help her until I get there" I was very worried about her after hearing her on the phone. Heavenly Father heard my prayer and blessed Meg. One of her best friends mothers happened to be driving by and pulled over. She helped Meg fill out the police report and she called me to update me on Meg and how the accident happened (since I still wasn't sure what happened because I couldn't understand Meg). This car belongs to my dad he has just been letting Meg borrow it, it has Idaho plates and just Tuesday my dad renewed the plates that had expired ahhh...timing. Poor Meg was very worried about grandpa's reaction to a "smashed" car. When I got there Meg was a wreck. I'm sure that if you are reading this it might be bringing back memories of your first accident so you know how Meg feels (I know I do- all to well hee, hee). I finished filling out the paperwork and hugged my Meg a ton, reassuring her that "life is an adventure" and that she is now a teenage statistic (first year of driving- get in an accident), and that at least it wasn't her fault. My first accident was my fault - I hit a Pimps car in Washington DC (very scary).
Chris got there while the policeman was still there. We took this picture of Meg - love the mascara running all the way down to her chin:) After reading the police report I laughed because the other drivers car was not hers she was borrowing it from a dealership while her car was in the shop!!!!
Ohhh... you want to know how it happened well..... Meg was going south and the other driver was at a stop sign, the other driver "says" that Meg was slowing down so she thought Meg was going to turn right so she pulled out (DAAHHHHHHH!) T-Bone! (she was going less than 35 mph). There was not alot of damage done to the other car but as you can see Megs car is toast. I drove it home. Which was dumb I should have had them tow it. Half way home I had to pull over- something from the wheel well was wrapping around the tire. I pulled over and tried to rip it off but it wouldn't come, I also found this black box type thing that was just hanging down dragging on the ground so I ripped it off. Also you can't use the driver side door so I was crawling back and forth over the passenger seat. A dear sweet neighbor saw me and pulled over to help me. The first thing he said was "What tree did you hit???!!" Haaa, haaa!! I reversed the car and he pulled the black thing from the tire. Then we proceeded to pull the bumper off and a couple of other things (don't know what they were) and we also shoved the headlight that was hanging down that I couldn't pull off into a hole that I found. We were having a great time. I finally got the car home. Poor Meg just about died when she saw it she said "What have you done to the car?" Haaaa, hhaaaa What have I done?? Got Jacob and Tay to school. Meg didn't want to go to school so she ran errands with Katie and I. Went to the Boyscout store and then Sam's Club and Harmon's to get groceries for the Boyscout/Young Men Camp out tomorrow (Chris is in charge of making the taco salad dinner) then grandma, Katie and I took Meg out to lunch. She keeps complaining of different body parts hurting - especially her head will just watch and see if I need to take her to the Dr. Just got off the phone with other drivers insurance they are trying to pin this on Meg!!!! Don't talk to me right now I'm steaming mad!!!!!! The other driver is claiming that there was another car in front of Meg that turned right and that Meg went around it and that's when "Meg T-Boned her." I will remain calm!! She received the ticket. The insurance company is saying that because of the discrepancy between statements that they have to investigate further before we can get a rental car. Also the agent is suppose to come out tomorrow to look at the car. After that phone call we received another phone call that Chris' great aunt passed away. At 6:30 pm I took Meg to the doctor she was having pain in her neck and back. Doctor gave Meg medicine. She said that this will help with the pain that she's going to feel tomorrow:)
High note: Chris won the West Area Award!!! He and I will be going on a much needed trip for 2 days. Chris was telling me that he only got picked because "he's going to die" but I told him no way that is so not true. People at work know how hard he works, how devoted he is, how much he cares about his work and his fellow employees. How many guys do you know that try to go back to work 4 weeks after having a MAJOR surgery or go to the ER Sunday night and then go to work the next morning? I don't know of any! Thank you to all that helped in anyway to get Chris nominated. He and I are looking forward to being in the sun!!! (already asked grandma to babysit:))
Tomorrow is Tay's b-day and Chris and Rye go camping. May tomorrow be quieter.
Chris has hurt his back somehow and is finding it hard to walk. I think I feel my eye twitching!!!!!:)
Love, Ricki
