With the exception of our photography gear, we no longer own anything worth over $200 (and that might be a little high of an estimate). The most valuable thing I can think of is my engagement ring, and that was about $175. (Tipit w/pearl by Charlotte)
We had a car. A dependable, fuel efficient, PAID OFF, perfect-for-our-growing-family car. Until Sunday night. Long story short, we were doing a sign install for Matthew's job and I was pulling over to the side of the road, Matthew jumped out of the car, and all I remember was hearing him yell and then impact. I was rear-ended, and the back end of the car exploded. Luckily I didn't have time to brace for impact and the car was in drive with my foot on the brake, so I was able to release the brake and minimize the jolt on my body. Still, I have a few bumps and bruises as well as a very stiff neck. We spent the evening in the ER (I can feel the swine flu germs growing on my body) and they did an ultrasound to check on the baby and it's heart rate is strong and it's very much a wiggler.
So we're still alive and still being provided for, life just got even more interesting for us. We're thankful that nothing more happened. A few seconds later and Matthew would have been standing behind the car at the trunk. It terrifies us to think of the possibilities of what could have been, so we're trying to dwell in the knowledge that God took care of us and it was the best-case scenario of a bad situation.
Now to get a shower and off to the chiropractor....
how incredibly scary! Thank goodness you were smart enough to release the break, I wouldn't have thought of that! My sister-in-law got in a huge car accident when she was 9 months pregnant...and everything turned out fine as well. how insane.
