Car wreck and a crazy Friday night...
Well I'm pasting this from my facebook so bear with it. This happened to me on Friday the 22nd and the part missing is that it has been evaluated now and is around $5000+ for repairs. In other words it's totaled and I'm looking for an new used car. Also the part about my dad and me waiting for 3 and a half hours for a tow truck has been left out because I forgot in the original. enjoy reading the story :)
Ok just as a FYI around 4:56pm today I was heading to work. Nothing abnormal there right? WRONG! I (being super smart and cautious (yeah right) )tried to zip by on my merry way to work. Little did I know that my van (yes insert silent chuckles here) has almost no traction whatsoever. That being said I found out that God must be trying to get something into my thick skull because I took a corner at the top of a hill and kept on sliding. My dad (having found me laying on the side of the car looking freaked out) said it looked like I slid a couple hundred (yes thats "100+") feet and gone at least 25 feet straight back. Talk about a sliding record for minivans! Thankfully my personal self was alright (except mentally shaken even now), but the car is another story. When I slid I hit a metal barrier (like those dividing highways) and while it stopped my car (thank God) I was thrown around a bit (no airbag collision though) and the car was pretty banged up. I have dents in both passenger side doors and my front bumper (whats left of that slag heap lol) is crunched like an eggshell. My dad thinks its pretty much going to get evaluated and scraped (well I get back some money then it gets scraped). The possibility of a fixed van is slim (and even so insurance now goes up woohoo! :/), so I'm pretty much car-less and relying on parents for transportation. At least on the up and up (if you see one I still don't) I get to go actual CAR shopping soon.
Just goes to show you if your not doing something God's way he'll show you who's boss ;) I know I'm kneeling in prayer more then ever now and I hope you guys will keep me in your thoughts as well. |

Wow. I don't know where to start. I'm glad you're okay! And sorry about your van =( But very glad that you're alright.
