Accidents happen

This morning I was on my way to Pensacola with my dad and kiddo's to buy Jimmy's Christmas present and was super super excited!!!! However, I ended up being in my first car accident, well, the first one where I was driving anyway. I came down the exit ramp on the Interstate and stopped at the end to wait for the traffic to pass. I looked in my rear view mirror and here came this grey car super fast and slammed right into me! I had no time to get out the way and even if I did have time, there was a bunch of traffic coming. I just had to let it happen. We pulled off the road and went through an hour of waiting for the police to show up. During that time I called my insurance company and talked with them for a while and got stuff squared away. Thankfully, we opted for filing a claim through the girls' insurance company and will supposedly get our bumper fixed for free and get a rental for no charge while it is in the shop. Sweet! We will see how that works out though, you know how insurance companies are... So, here a a few pics of the damage...

just a little crack and a few scratches on the bumper of my truck...

there was a dent here when we bought the truck so I honestly couldn't tell the officer whether or not there was any new scratches. He decided that the top dent and scratches were from the accident.

her car had a large dent, lots of black scratches, and her head light cracked

as well as a long line of black down the front panel...

Thank the Lord it wasn't bad at all and no one was hurt! I had my dad and all 3 kids with me, so I am extremely thankful for His protection! I am also thankful for a big SUV and full coverage insurance, I knew I wanted an SUV for more reasons then just the room :-D

So how did we end this event? Getting in my truck and it being completely dead! The officer laughed and said it would be $20 for a jump, then said he was just kidding. :-) He jumped us off and away we went to buy Jimmy's Christmas gift!!!!

Drive safely everyone!!
