Oh The Weather Outside is Frightful

So far this year winter has been pretty mild.... in fact the ski resorts are all worried that there will not be snow this year. We have only had a couple storms come in that have laid few inches of snow on the ground. Danny and I welcome a mild winter with open arms. We both HATE the cold weather and the snow. Well, yesterday just happened to be one of days that we got some snow. Danny had a very unfortunate event happen, he was in a car accident and totaled his car. He hit a patch of ice and did a complete 360 on the freeway from the middle lane and hit the cement barricade. Fortunately he was not injured. It could have been so bad, we feel so blessed that it was not worse and that he was not injured, just a little sore. The insurance adjuster came out today and declared the Accord totaled. We just purchased this car about a year and a half ago, it was used, but it still felt like a new car to us.

Danny and I do not have the best luck when it comes to car accidents. Our first year of marriage in Aug of 2004 I was in an accident with my mom in the car, and the car was totaled (the accident was not my fault) we had just purchased that car from my brother-in-law about a month before the accident. About two weeks after that Danny was in a small fender bender (it was his fault...dang cell phones). Then last summer 2007 i was hit by a semi (again not my fault). In January of 2008 we were at a wedding reception and we noticed that someone had hit Danny's car, of course they did not leave a note so that came out of our pocket. I know it is hard to believe but there is one more.... 1 month ago Danny was sideswiped by another car( this was not his fault) we just got his car back about 2 weeks ago.

We feel very blessed that through all those accidents we have never been hurt. After I had gone to pick Danny up yesterday he told me "I am going to spend all day looking for a job somewhere warm." I am so grateful that Danny is okay and still with me today. It is incidents like this that make you realize how truly blessed you are.

This weekend we are going on a cruise with Danny's family we look forward to getting away and hopefully relaxing and not worrying about what kind of car we want to get, how much we want to spend, and when we want to make the purchase.. I am so bummed to I was supposed to be the one to get the new car next!!
