talk about horrible timing…..

There's never a good time to have a wreck, no one ever says "oh this couldn't of happened at a better time." But there couldn't of been a worse time for this to have happen. 

Heading to lunch last week on my break from work I was going to meet my friend Jenna. We'd been trying to meet up for a week or so now and we finally found a date that fit us both. 

Sadly enough I didn't make that lunch date and now I have a week (God willing) to reschedule. 

Sitting at a red light waiting to turn left and the cars in the first lane coming my direction weren't going. I waited and waited and waited, finally I went…..I had a green light, they had a green light but no body was moving. Not thinking at all that a car could come from the other lane around the corner. It was a compete blind spot because the cars in the lane that weren't moving were large SUV's. It didn't even register to me that I couldn't see around them. I knew the cars in front of me weren't moving and I must have been clear to go. Boy was I wrong, WAY WRONG. I saw it all happen, as it was happening I was thinking there is nothing I can do, little did I realize it had already happened. I head it, it was so load. All the air bag deployed on the passenger side, my drive door one deployed and the one on the steering wheel deployed. There was dust / smoke from the inside of the airbags that filled my car. I could barley breath the smell was so bad. 

I was in complete shock, this did not just happen. She just hit me, yes it was my fault because I turned but really WHY….WHY ME!!!!!!! I sat there in my car for a minute to gather my thoughts before getting out. I walked around to make sure the other driver was ok and she was. Thank You Jesus! 

Walked back to my driver door and I heard someone yell my name, I look behind me and it was one of my co-workers Kristen. She's actually my assistant in my class.

She asked me if I was ok and I shook my head no, I was in complete shock. My wrist had swelled up like the size of a golf ball and I was worried sick that something was seriously wrong with it. She pulled her car to the side and got out. I had her call Jenna to let her know I wasn't going to be able to make it. I called the hubbs to let him know what happen and to tell him I was ok. (other than my wrist) I literally spoke to him for about 2 minutes and then had to let him go. 

I just kept telling Kristen "I NEVER GO THIS WAY", all because its easier to get to were I was going did I go that way. NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN. 

I've been in a fender bender before, been rear ended but nothing this major or serious. I was at a loss, even more so that my husband was FIVE HUNDRED + miles away. Kristen called the police and emergency responders to come. She then called work to let them know what was going on. Clearly I wasn't going to be able to make it back to work. BLAH, not what I need right now. I called Sarah, my friend that I'm staying with here in Cola. When she answered I asked her were she was, because I wanted / needed her. Her response was "on a school bus headed back from Z's field trip." My heart broke, I just wanted some one there. She immediately asked me if I was ok. Jenna had already called her and told her what happen, which she interned called Cory her husband and told him what happen. As soon as he heard he was on his way to the accident. I called Cory to find out where he was, and told him I needed him. I was hot mess, Kristen who was on her lunch break as well waited till Cory and Jenna showed up and then she left. While we were waiting for them to get there though I kept telling her that I didn't want to go in the ambulance by myself. I was seriously freaking out about the thought of having to go in the ambulance by myself but I knew I needed to get my wrist looked at. 

At this point I had kinda of gathered myself but then Cory showed up and I lost it again, falling on his shoulder. What am I going to do, my wrist, what about work I said to him. The police officer looked at C and asked if he was my husband, again hello water works. I looked at C, he looked at the Officer and explained that I was living with them and the hubbs was in TN. They agreed I needed to get my wrist checked out but EMS said they would not be able to take x-rays at the hospital because it was so swollen. They told me it was the blood vessels in my wrist that had busted. They said I could go to the hospital on post and C could take me. That seemed much more doable, no ambulance ride for me. The tow truck drivers arrived and pulled the cars apart. Hers looked a lot worse then mine once they were apart but still neither were drivable. Freaking out because I'm suppose to leave at the end of May to head to TN for good and now I don't know if that'll happen. WHY? WHY ME? WHY NOW?

Sarah and I had just talked over the weekend about how I had never had to go to Moncrief Hospital for a emergency or to the UCC. Well I guess God felt I needed to make a visit there before I left. After collectively about two hours, x-rays, and 3 different pain meds, my hand wrapped in a brace I was headed home. Nothing was broken which I was pretty sure of already. The swelling had gone down, but I needed to wear the brace to keep my hand and wrist from moving and control the bleeding inside my wrist. It hurt like crazy, the picture blow (is the next evening after it happened) does it no justice at all. As crazy as it sounds this looks good compared to the 3rd and 4th day. It was so purple and back and brown. I had fears of going to sleep because I wasn't sure what would happen. It was totally messing with my head. I took the next day, Wednesday off work to relax and recover a bit. Gave me a chance to get things figured out with my car as well. 

The following Monday I went over to the body shop were my car was to get a few things out of it and to sign the papers so they could start the repairs. When I walked in something to the left caught my eye through the window, I looked away and then back at the window. That looked like my car, so I walked over to the window and sure enough it was and I lost it. The tears started flowing, the gentleman behind the counter said you must be the owner of the Pathfinder. Yes, I am…..was it that obvious. 

He walked me out to the car and went over what needed to be done. He said that its a lot of little things that simply need to be screwed and bolted back on. A little body work but not a lot of major work. $11,300.00 worth of work, YIKES. He assured me that he is going to do whatever it is he can to get the car done by the 30th of this month. I've got my fingers crossed. I'm hoping and praying I have TWO interviews lined up for the following week in TN and I really don't want to have to reschedule. I've already notified them about what is going on and they were very understanding, which was a sign of relief. 

I keep reminding myself things could have been A LOT worse, we both walked away from the accident. My car is repairable and I've got some amazing friends here in the South that jumped and helped me with out any hesitation at all. 

As heart broken as I am to leave the South, I am so ready to get home to my husband. I talked to his mom the day after it happened and she said he told her he felt so helpless not being here to help me with everything. Breaks my heart!!! I miss my love more than anything.

Lunch Treat!!!

I can't say enough about how blessed I've been to work for such a awesome school. The girls I work with are great. They've really welcomed me in and shown my the ropes of the school and the in's & out's. The kiddo's are absolutely adorable and cute as a button. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to pack them away in my bag and bring them home. The parents are AMAZING!!!!!! They go above and out of their way for us, teachers. We take care of their sweet babies all day and they sure do know how to return the favor. Today one of our mom's (who I've happen to become friends w/ outside of school) brought us lunch. How freaking sweet is she to do that!!! Back up to yesterday.....her granny fell and broke her hip. So she was having surgery today way across town. Her daughter (who's in my class) was having tubes put in her ears today, so she wasn't at school. Yet she still finds the time to stop by when she didn't even have a reason to be up there just to bring us lunch. We were having a great day, it was going really smooth and she just added a cherry on top. I am reminded every day one way or another why I stayed at EDS vs. leaving last November. It's a great school with great parents and great staff. I know I say all the time how I can't wait to move away from here and go on to our next duty station but I know I'll miss school / work. I've worked my way up to a lead teacher in such a short amount of time and I think I'm actually the youngest lead at the school. I'm quite proud of myself and my class. It's nothing at all like the CDC on a military installation. In fact its a million times better. It's going to be hard to find a school that's even remotely close to EDS when we do move. I can't believe we are already half way through the 2012-2013 school year. Summer's gonna be here before to long, crazy!!!!! I love what I do!!!!! 

30 days of thanks!!!!

For the past month I've posted on my facebook what I'm Thankful for, for that day. I'm always so Thankful for these things and not just during the month of November but all the time, each and every day. I just thought it would be fun to share them with everyone and remind myself how good of a life I have on those days I start to complain and think I have a ruff life. No I don't live a perfect by any means but it could be a heck of a lot worse.

I love you bubby, not much longer now!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wishing you a Happy early Thanksgiving!!! (even if this is a little late) The hubbs and I had plans to celebrate Thanksgiving tonight since we wont be together this year on Turkey day. Last weekend when I went to the commissary I picked up a few things so we could do a little thanksgiving dinner together. We hadn't talked about it at all, doing a dinner that is. It was pretty much just known that we were going to miss this holiday together. It was by our own choice at first and we were ok with that. Then come to find out the hubbs was going to have CQ on Thanksgiving. How he got so lucky is beyond us but some how he did. I felt awful for him but in a way things kind of worked out for us. I had plans to go on a trip with my mom and a few of our friends. So I didn't feel completely horrible for leaving him. Although still I don't think it helped much. It's a big Holiday and he was going to be all alone babysitting watching over a bunch of Privates. 

Our dinner was simple and perfect for the two of us. There wasn't any big elaborate planning or prepping. It was put together within about a hour & half and we were eating shortly later. 

I love this man to death and any time we get together we try to make the most of it. Life on the trail is crazy and the hours they work are horrible. So we make moments like tonight special in our own little way. It may not have been your typical family thanksgiving but for us, just being together and being able to celebrate was enough. As we know and have many friends that are separated from their loved ones this holiday season. 

Our Thanksgiving spread!!!
Cheesy Bacon Potatoes, Ham, Green bean Casserole, Stuffing, Sweet Potatoes, Cheesy Bread,
and for dessert Pecan Pie!

My plate, round one!!!

I'm so very thankful for the life the we have together and everything we have been through and even thankful for whats to come. Its a journey and I couldn't be more blessed / excited to be able to spend it with my best friend.

DAY 89

Every morning the hubbs will come give me a hug and kiss goodbye before he heads out to PT. He always wishes me a good day and says he can't wait till 5pm. (when we both get off work) Of course now this is at like 4:30-5:00 O'clock in the morning so needless to say I'm still a bit out of it and sleepy. So on my way to work in the morning a few hours later I will text him and tell him how much I love him and that I hope he has a better day then the one before. And of course I as well tell him how I can't wait till quitin time!!!!!! "OH IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOME WHERE" He will always text back when he gets a free minute and it just makes me smile. But not today I had no reply back from my morning drive, lunch time came and went and still nothing from him even after I texted back again. I know he can be pretty busy during the day but that's just not like him to not reply. Well I went back to work and finished out my day, a little worried in the back of my mind hoping everything was ok. When I got off work I quickly checked my phone and there was two messages from him explaining how someone had HIT HIS CAR!!!!! I immediately FREAK and call him to get details, if you know either of us at all you would understand and know that both our cars are like our kids. I guess that's happens when you both drive a $35+k car.

 So from what I understand he was parked were he normally parks and some guy (who happens to be a Caption) was trying to parallel park behind him. When all of a sudden he slammed in to the lovely bumper of our Subaru scratching it up pretty bad :(. A few minutes after he went in to the office looking for the owner of the "white Subaru w/ Hawaii plates". One of the hubbs buddies he works with new he was talking about his car and went and got him. I can only imagine his reaction when the guy was explaining what happen. They went out side to take a look and the guy had already left a note on our car in case he wasn't able to find the owner. I'm so thankful for honest people like him. He could have easily left and drove off not saying a word but he was honest and kind hearted. The hubbs said he wad really nice and the both called USAA right them to file the claim. The crappy part about the whole situation is that the guy had called USAA earlier this morning to file a claim. He lowered his garage door on his car. I really felt bad for him because it really wasn't a great day for him. I hope that his insurance doesn't go up to much. If we had a crappy car and didn't really car we would probably just blow it off but that's not us. We take great pride in taking care of our vehicles and maintaining them. Thankfully we have a appointment on Friday at 2pm to get the car looked at to see how long its going to take to get fixed. I'm hoping it will be a quick fix and we wont have to deal with a rental car. At least we aren't going to be out any money on this one like we were when I hit someone in my blue Chally :( opps.

You have got to be kidding me!!!
