Counting our blessings

Eric and I have gone through alot of changes in the past couple of months....Eric lost his job in the middle of June, and he graduated from the Aviation Institute of Maintenance July 17th. His former employee did away with his position and it all worked out....because it gave him more time to study and focus on school and prepare for graduation. Well, right after he graduates...and on our way to North Carolina this past weekend (Friday July 18th) we got in a car accident. Eric was driving "my" 2007 Avalanche, my cousin Ryan was in the front seat, and I was in the back. Ryan and I weren't wearing our seatbelts, but amazingly didn't get hurt. An elderly lady pulled out in front of us in a Chevy Lumina and stopped in the middle of the road.....so we hit her and then went down into a ditch. My dog, Rigley was in the back of the truck in his cage....and was scared to death, as you can imagine.

We didn't let that stop us and ended up still going to North Carolina, partly b/c Eric's family were already there from Knoxville, waiting for us.....and we figured we didn't want it to ruin our whole weekend. So, I am in a rental car now and we are waiting to hear if the truck is totaled or if it will be fixed.

Yesterday, my boss came in my office and told me I will be working from home starting next week......so I am super excited. I have been praying for this since February....and what great timing this is! :)

This is a picture of us after the accident....counting our blessings!!
