-2.5 weeks ago our water heater started leaking (it was 30 years old after all). Thankfully, Matt had it replaced before I got back from our vacation! :)
-Devin got a double ear infection while we were on vacation and it probably peaked the night I left him at my in-laws (sorry!). Thankfully, my Father-in-law quickly started him on some antibiotics for me. Oh and the same night, there was an earthquake not far from my in-law's house. Weird!
-Then, low and behold, Luke got the flu, which I really should start expecting because it happens pretty much every time we visit Utah. Thankfully, it didn't last longer than a night.
And the one that takes the cake....
-After all very long day of traveling from SLC to CLE, and complete pat-down, search through every single bag, item, child and stroller I was traveling (all because they don't have "one of those fancy machines that costs like a bijillion dollars(according to the TSA girl)" to search unopened baby food! Which I have traveled with several times and never had a problem), we finally arrived in Cleveland.We called daddy as we were taxiing in and he was on his way to pick us up. We jumped off the plane and the dreadful phone call came from an unknown phone number that Matt had been in a car accident. Luckily it was his voice I was hearing on the other end, so I knew he was okay enough to call me. All he said was, "I got in a car wreck call the Kiene's (our heros! Oh why do they have to move! sniff, sniff) to pick you up." Thankfully, Marilyn picked up and soon enough she rescued me from the airport. Thank you Marilyn!!!!!! A hundred times!!!
Well, Matt was going under the speed limit, not texting or talking on the phone, driving straight through a green light when pretty much out of no where an oncoming car turns left right in front of him. He didn't have enough time to stop and smashed into them, lost control and hit a pole. And the car that turned in front of him, spun and smashed into another car that was stopped at the stop light going the opposite direction. The airbags deployed and Matt has suffered from some whiplash and bruises. We are so grateful that he is okay!
Our van is totaled and right now we are living on a prayer, hoping that the guy who was at fault has car insurance.
It was a long day, but it never felt so good to be back together as a family Friday night.
Here's a picture Matt snapped with his ipod. He said that even inside car the dash board was cracked.
And since he's been a hardcore soccer player all of his life he doesn't think this bruise is anything special, but I think it's huge, purple and disgusting! The picture doesn't serve it justice.
Oh and then the next day I had the flu.
Booo!
We're ready and waiting for some good things to come our way now.....any day now.... :)
