We Finally Got Excitement!

I was thinking this weekend that I should post, but I thought what should I post about? We haven't had anything interesting or exciting happen, and I doubt anyone really cares what my opinion of John McCain or Barack Obama is. I do have some thoughts about Sarah Palin that I'd like to share, but I want to get them organized in my head before I put them on paper (screen?).


Anyway, we did have some excitement yesterday! Here's a glimpse:

Yes, the Escort met a Jeep up close and personal last night. Jeremy was on his way to work, and he was the last link in a chain reaction crash. He was sideswiped by a car that was swerving to avoid a car that turned out in front of it. So, thankfully he wasn't at fault. He did get really wet, though, since his window was shattered, and it was in the middle of a driving rainstorm. He wasn't hurt, either, but he will be picking glass out of his shoes for the next year! :) Right now, we're making due with one car, but thankfully my uncle Dan is coming through with a car for us to borrow tomorrow evening so I can get to church. Unfortunately, we don't have a car rental clause on our insurance, and the agent said we could rent a car and then try to get the money back from the other insurance company, but I'm not too confident about that. Apparently, the woman who caused the whole chain took off.

There is one good thing! We had to take both cars in to get them worked on because the "Service Engine" light was on, and we have to get that fixed before we can get the emissions tested, and we have to get the emissions tested before we can get new plates. But since the Escort needs some serious body work before we can get the plates renewed. So, now I just have to pay for the van to get fixed. I'm going to call whatever governement agency handles plates to get a temporary tag so we can work on the Escort next month.
