Living Life Sunny Side Up

My weekend at the lake was supposed to be relaxing and carefree. Saturday morning was rainy and wet but I was determined to go down there and have a great day. I was safe and buckled myself into my brand new Jeep. I said my three Hail Marys, just like my mom and grandma had always done before any traveling trip.

I was just past Jefferson City when I lost control of my car on the wet roads. I slipped and slid and finally skidded to the other lane  and slammed into the guardrail. My first thought was I wish that guardrail wasn’t there! Long story short, I called 911 and the State Troopers showed up. They took care of me and changed my tire. I was pretty calm, except for a few tears just looking at my poor car. My poor brand new car! I couldn’t look at it. It made me sick.

I’ve never been in an accident. Not a single scratch…nothing. Today I took her into the car doctor and they said she won’t be ready for 3-4 weeks! Wow. Everything works out though. Always! I’m so thankful Shawn’s dad has an extra car that he is letting him borrow. Shawn will let me use his car until mine gets fixed.

When I was telling a few friends at work what happened they said I looked so calm. Well, the thing is it really sucks that my car is ruined and my money has to go to the damages, but I’m seriously just thankful that guardrail was there after all. My angel was watching over me.

I’m glad nobody was with me and I’m ok. Material things are just that. I’m not going to put pictures of the damages. That’s depressing and the last thing I want to look at is that. Shawn ended up driving me to the lake the next day and we met up with our friends Megan and Chris. They took us on their boat and we had an awesome time.

When I was driving home after the accident, this Kenny Chesney song came on.

How weird that a song like that come on.  I really believe in angels.  Have I said that already?   I’m usually a really private person and wasn’t going to share this with anyone.  Here I am though, telling people because some people know and those that don’t will find out from others.  So here it is…on my blog. Ok, that’s all I’m going to say about the accident.  Let’s discuss happier things now.
