Thankful!
We are thankful for so many things in our lives. My wife an I have each other, our kids and our families. We have passion for each other and passion for life. I've been blessed to have the opportunity to work for a great company for the last nine years and have recently added A~ to that "work family" as well.
Tuesday of last week we were given another reason to be be thankful...
We were all in the car, and we are all alright for the most part though the boys are very adamant about us "slowing down" regardless of how we're driving and their hearts skip each time we have to stop quickly at all.
I have to say we're really lucky that the damage done was all that there was. As we were going through an intersection in the evening, a 19 yr old kid cut short the corner from the turn lane and tried to make it onto an on ramp before we got there. He didn't make it. Almost, but no. I was able to swerve enough to only catch the back tire of his jacked up jeep but it was hard enough to set off both of our air bags and whack us around a bit. A~ was on the side that caught the brunt of it and smacked her head on the ceiling hard enough to break a few CD's that were in our visor cd-holder. Fortunately, the guys jeep had so much lift and big tires it avoided a lot of contact points, it could have been a much worse accident.
So, now three of us are on ibuprofen and my hip and lower back are killing me and A~ has on / off headaches but hey, we're all here. And we're thankful.
I hope your Thanksgiving was great and that you were able to get together with family and friends, enjoy some great food (hopefully some of your home grown goodies) and relax.
All the best to you.

So glad none of you were badly hurt. Scary stuff.
Yikes! Glad most of the damage was confined to the car! Take two jelly beans and call me in the morning!
I'm glad you're all okay. Sounds like a pretty scary and awful experience.
Get an attorney, now!
Jeez Paul! Glad you guys are all ok!!!!!
Mate, thankful indeed. So lucky that the other clown had a higher car, but that doesn't excuse him from being a reckless driver! Great news that you and yours are okay.
