Used to love it, Now I hate it



Yes I used to love the snow and now I don't. Because of my back I am not able to enjoy the snow sports like I used to and after this is am done with it. Here we come Texas (they rarely have snow and if they do its only a little). On Saturday around 7:30 I was on my way to work driving about 15-20 MPH on 800 East (Harmon's road) and hit a slick spot and ran off the road. I hit into the back of a parked Suburban that had about a 4 inch lift and totaled my car. The windshield shattered, smoke started coming in the car from under the hood, and the airbags deployed and hit me right in the stomach. I went to the car owners door and told them what had happened. They were the nicest family from Argentina. When they opened to door and I started to tell them what happened they didn't even seem to care about their car they just rushed me inside their house and said what can we do to help you and the baby. Trav showed up about ten minutes later and the family told him not to worry about the car but to get me to the hospital. We went to the emergency room and they rushed me over to Labor and Delivery to get me hooked upto a machine to monitor Boston. I was in shock and scared about Boston's safety that I don't really remember the hospital or the wreck. Once again Heavenly Father blessed us more than we can even begin to think. After monitoring Boston for 6 hours they found nothing wrong with him. He was moving and his heart beat was perfect. I was blessed also. Other than bruising and swelling on my stomach from the airbag and every muscle in my body being sore I was safe as well. Trav went back to the families house to get the car towed to a impound place and check back on the family and the condition of their car. Amazingly there was not a scratch on their car (I know how is is possible that our car is totaled and theirs didn't even have a scratch??????) They were so sweet and told Trav to stop in sometime and let them know how Me and the baby were doing. I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who watches over and protects me from harm. We are so grateful that Boston is doing well and moving alot more than he used to (I love it when he moves but having someone kick you where you are bruised kinda hurts). Thank you everyone for you calls and prayers we appreciate them so much.
OK so I don't totally hate the snow. I will miss it but, I am just a little afraid of it right now and will enjoy the brake from it. I am sure one day Boston will have so much fun playing in it and I will love it for more than its beauty.

I am SO glad you two are okay! By the way, I showed Jason that picture of Trav with both sizes of Jordans, and he about died! They are so cute and I'm pretty sure it made Jason excited to have a son in the future to wear matching shoes with. So cute!
