A little Unfortunate Event......
Yesterday on our way to church, we were rear ended by a drunk driver. We saw him swerving & driving like the crazy man he was & knew he was totally wasted. He was behind us & I told Brett just to pull over & let him pass, but it was too late. The guy sped up & just rammed into the back of our car. Nobody was hurt. The girls didn't really know what was going on, & I was a little bit shocked but that's all. We called the police & they came and did a full accident report and took the other guy to jail. He was 2-3 times over the legal limit.....at 8:45 in the morning. Why are people so stupid?
As for our car, it is fine. Just some ugly little scratches & the bumper is cracked. I filed our claim today & the car is getting repaired. The bad news is that we aren't sure if the other driver has insurance....luckily we have full coverage, but I don't want to pay that deductible. Anyway, this could all go down smoothly, or it could be a big pain in the rear. Since the guy got arrested, there is a chance Brett would have to testify in court (although the cop says they usually try to keep the other party out of it) and blah blah blah.
We feel so blessed that everyone is okay & that we are insured. It's always been hard for me to pay for auto insurance because in 6 years, we've never had to use it. But now I am glad we have it. Also, we have a cute rental to drive around for the next few days :).

That's scary! I am glad you guys are alright. You're right some people are sooo stupid! I think they are a lot harder on drunk drivers here then they are in Utah, at least that is what I heard so I guess we'll see. See ya on Saturday.
That just makes me so mad that people are so selfish to put others at risk like that! I'm glad you and your sweet little girls are ok. And I hope that stupid guy has to pay for everything!
Did you take pics of your car?
I am glad you guys are all okay.
Keep me posted on how things go.
OUCH!!! I am so glad you guys are all okay! Best of luck with the mess!
What a PAIN but I'm so glad you guys are all right and your car wasn't damaged too badly. Good luck with all the insurance company hoopla. :P
Wow! That really stinks! Glad to hear nothing major happened and everyone is alright. Andrew was just asking me yesterday if you guys got a new car. He saw Brett at the light. Now we know why he was in a different car. :) Hope everything gets fixed quickly for you. Let us know if you need anything!
Happy you guys are alright and nothing serious happened!
glad you guys are ok. sometimes it is cheaper just to pay for the repair yourself rather than paying the deductible plus i think your premium goes up for 3 years or something. i would look into it before you decide. yes people are so stupid!
