Brenda & Dirks Accident

So I was on my way home from picking up my paycheck on Friday. It was around 2 so I was going to stop and get Dirk a snack at Wendy's. I was waiting to turn left into the parking lot when I got hit. The car that hit me went out of control and hit another car going the opposite direction as me also. When she hit me I didn't know what to think or say and Dirk said "Somebody just hit my Jeep!". There were several people that called 911 and that stopped and helped. The girl that hit me was a little banged up. The guy in the other car that got hit was fine and had no damage to his car. Dirk and I are fine. We are a little sore from the impact and Dirk has become very clingy and won't get in the car unless I'm with him. This is my Jeep being put on the tow truck. This is when I started to cry.

This is the car that hit me.

This is a picture Luke took at the impound lot.

This is another picture from the impound lot. The Jeep was in the middle of traffic so the officers wouldn't let me go by it at all. They took out the car seat and my purse for me.

So now we are homeless and car less. (hahaha) Now we are just waiting for the insurance companies to get everything straightened out.

I survived! We finished cleaning Monday and handed the keys over that night. It was so hard for me. We took Dirk over when we gave the keys to the buyer. He asked where is all the stuff? When we let him say goodbye to his room I cried. It has been very emotional for me. I'm really gonna miss our place. I know that it was just a chapter in our lives and it's time to start a new one. I know also that the next chapter will be better then the last. We are kinda settled into my parents. I really haven't unpacked a lot of our stuff only Dirk's room (I want him to feel comfortable). Dirk is adjusting better than I thought he would. He told me the other day he like G-ma's house because it was bigger then his. I have some pictures I will post soon of our old house. We haven't got our computer and phone up yet. So if you try to call us, we won't have a house phone until this weekend (it will still be the same number).

MOVING!!!

So if you haven't already heard it, we are moving! Yes we sold our place this week and have to be out by the end of the month. Luke's goal is to be out by Tuesday (I think he might be crazy, but I love him anyway). So we are running around and packing. We will be staying at my parents house until we find the home of our dreams. This is just a quick update I will be posting more on "The Move" soon.

I just don't know where to start. We have been so busy lately. So here's what's new and old and somewhere in the middle. It's MAY and so you know that means we are busy at work. I have been lucky enough to do some stuff from home. That really helps everyone out. We started watching my cousins 2 year old one day a week and that has been a blast. Dirk looks forward to having a buddy to play with. They get along so well and I think it will be good for Dirk to be around someone his age. We have our place up for sale and are praying someone will buy it soon. We are not to stressed yet it has only been a few weeks. We have seen lots of friends lately and it has been fun to catch up. We had lot of fun going out to dinner and hope to get together more often. Dirk is getting better at his ABC's but it still saying SOB hopefully the video I have works. We can't get him to sing on camera, but if you see him he will sing in person. He's a crazy kid.

The countdown until Brooke moves is almost to the end. We are all said to see her go. She will be moving Monday (after Mother's Day). She isn't done packing yet (it has been hard with the baby). We have been trying to hangout a lot. Brooke has been trying to visit everyone but there is never enough time. I will try to keep everyone up to date on how the move goes. She will be back in June for a visit. Then in August they will move back for a while before the big move to California.
