The Big Crash!

 We were involved in a pretty big accident the other night.  I am so glad that McKaleigh and I were the only passengers.  The short story is this:  We were on our way to find some bathing suits, coming from one of McKaleigh's volleyball games.  It was a really close loss and McKaleigh was kind of sad that her last hit kind of added to the loss of the game.  We were stopped at a red light when all of a sudden we were hit.  It was loud, there was glass all over from the back windows shattering, and there was smoke from the impact.  We were rear ended by an 18 year old kid in a very large Dodge Ram.  In case you were wondering, we are doing just fine.  We both had a few days of soreness and some aches, but we were lucky and our old minivan will have to get a pretty big face lift! 

Now, on the bright side...McKaleigh now knows what to do when involved in an accident.  She know what paperwork to give out, and how to fill out a police report (which might come in handy since she will be driving in less than a year!).  And, the biggest payoff is our rental.  We went from driving our minivan (which I do love).  To this big beast, an Infiniti qx56 - which is AWESOME!  Alex sings songs about it when we drive it to school, Colton loves showing it off to his friends and I feel like a high roller driving down the streets, but alas, it has to go back to the rental company in 2 weeks - but for that time, we are living large!
