An exciting, yet scary FHE


Hmm, interesting picture, right? And post title? Well last Monday evening while driving back home from getting ice cream for a Family Home Evening activity we were hit by another car who while trying to pass us on the right, and driving too fast for the road conditions (we had received about 6-8 inches of snow that day) fish-tailed and slammed into the front passenger corner of our car. We were hit hard enough that we landed on the median.
Thankfully we are all perfectly fine. Of course we are innocent parties so now our car is in the shop to get fixed and we received some money (very little) to replace Curren's car seat and a little extra. Only caveat, we have to sign a release that we won't go after the insurance company for any medical compensation.
I miss my car. We're driving a Chrysler Aspen, nice car, but it drives way different. It's very floaty as Rick says so I can't feel the road very well. Plus, although it's supposed to be a full-size, 8 passenger SUV, it's smaller than our Sequoia. Oh well, better to be a little inconvenienced than to have any of us hurt from the accident.
