Our Accident



Ava and I were in a car accident last Tuesday. We are both fine, neither of us or the other passengers involved were injured. Praise the Lord! We were on our way home from Kohl's. I was driving down a road that has been under construction for some time now. (Roberts Rd for those of you that are familiar) A guy that was coming out of his apartment complex failed to yield at a stop sign and ran right into my car. It was on Ava's side as I have two carseats so she cannot be in the middle. I panicked immediately and was in total Mommy Freakout mode but when I got out of the car to get Ava out, I heard his little girl screaming. He had his 14 month old with him. He was very aplolgetic and asked if we were okay, which we were, then I asked him if he and his little one were alright and they seemed to be fine. My next question was please tell me you have insurance. He has full coverage. So we called 911 and the police came. Figures it has to happen on the only day I leave the house in a strapless sundress to run into Kohl's. So there I am in a strapless dress on the side of the road, feeding my baby because she was already screaming for a bottle prior to the accident. Luckily, Chris was home so he was able to get to us in minutes. As of now my car has about $8,000 damages. The other car involved is totaled. We are still ironing out details but I hope to get out of my lease since the car is so damaged. I don't feel safe driving the car even if it is repaired. We also have every attorney and chiropractor's office in the Columbus area calling......it's very annoying! This was my first accident ever and it was such a scary experience but like I said before just so blessed no one was hurt. The car and be replaced, we can't!
