Thankful









As you can see we have had an eventful weekend. Last night we headed to Athens for Matt's friend's wedding rehearsal & rehearsal dinner (and wedding today of course). Matt was the soloist for the wedding. We had a great time last night and stayed in the Hampton Inn which was actually a really great stay. Until this morning when we tried to go across the street to the Walgreens. We went to turn left across two lanes of traffic. First lane stopped for us to get by so Matt went.. car coming very fast in the second lane. We both saw it, I screamed very loudly. The most terrifying thing ever. We are both fine and walked away without a scratch. I can't believe it. I am so thankful for our safe car that saved my life and probably Matt's as well (I was in the passenger seat). You can see the 3 airbags that deployed and saved my life. Windshield cracked, passenger windows shattered. So thankful. Thankful for my husband. That was about 11:30 this morning. We spent the next two hours getting the car towed and being picked up by Matt's friend Steven who drove us around town as needed until Matt's parents arrived around 2 to take us to the church so Matt could sing in the wedding at 3. So we are down to one car for the week.. debating on getting a rental. The car will take a few weeks to repair (IF it's not totaled) but in the mean time my sister is letting us borrow her car when we go to Augusta next weekend and bring it back with us. Thank you Erin!!!

Also thanks to Matt's parents we made it back to Atlanta in time to see a live show with Alton Brown from Good Eats. It was so awesome! A little too long for us though.. after 3 hours we finally left b/c we are so exhausted. Looks like it's time for bed now.. please learn from our mistake not to turn like that when someone lets you go!! (of course we have heard that too but who pays attention to the warnings?)
