A fun birthday and not-so-fun car accident

Wow, I can't believe my
baby is one year old already! It's been an incredibly
exciting and fun year. Ian's party on Saturday was
great -- we had a huge turnout of many of our
favorite people. Ian had the traditional first piece
of chocolate cake -- along with the traditional mess
all over himself and anything nearby! I would post
some pictures, but our camera is not working right
now, and other people who took pictures have not been
able to send them to me yet. As soon as I get some
pictures, I'll post them. It really was a fun event,
and one that I'll remember for awhile.
In other news, Tuesday (two days ago) was an
interesting day for us. On my way to work, I got
rear-ended at a stoplight and hit the truck that was
also stopped in front of me. I was driving my
in-laws' Jeep Wrangler that we're borrowing for a
short time since Eric's truck is no longer safe to
drive. The Jeep is fine except for some bumper
damage, but the cars that were in front of and behind
me are probably totaled. Ian was with me, but all he
got was a sore tongue from biting it at the time of
the crash. I'm a little sore, but that's it. I thank
God that nobody was hurt, and that we were in the
Jeep instead of my Sunfire. If we'd been in my
vehicle, it probably would have been totaled, too,
and there might have even been some injuries for me
and Ian. God was taking care of us, as He always
does. There are, of course, some insurance and
familial issues to deal with as a result of the
accident, but I'd much rather deal with those kinds
of things than for Eric and I have to
no
vehicle of our own,
and/or for one of us to be suffering physical pain.
It's always interesting what happens when you're in
the wrong place at the wrong time!
Anyway, we're all fine, and we're going on with life.
We're looking forward to a visit sometime this summer
from my sister and brother-in-law who live in Alaska,
and Eric is gearing up to teach in a couple weeks, as
well as finish his thesis proposal. We're busy, but
it's a good, productive kind of busy where we still
have time for family and friends. Praise God!
