So we started off the day with a great lunch at Olive Garden. We were so full of Salad and Bread sticks that we thought we better keep to our word and take Dantzel to a park to play. The kids love it. James even got to try out a big kid swing. He totally loved it! Dantzel had a blast as well playing at the park with all the slides and toys. She also met a little girl that she just had a ball with. I didn't get any pictures of them together(darn). Oh Man, so I tried putting on the videos we took but, the thing isn't working. Maybe next time. :(
As the day went we finally got to the reason we took the whole day off. We went and bought Brandon a new closet full of work clothes. It is always nice to buy clothes for Brandon because he only has to try on a few pairs of pants and then decide which ones he likes. From there we just go grab different colors of his favorites. Shirts are a breeze. We just grab the colors he wants.
From there we went over to the Rec Center to play Volleyball. That was the other reason we went to St. George. Just our luck the whole place was closed for maintenance. So we decided to just go home.
So we get into Mesquite and Brandon decided to go to Dairy Queen to get a Artic Rush. We pulled out of the parking lot and were stopped at the light. Our light was just about ready to turn green because the turn light was starting to change. Just before we know it we fell and hear a big BANG! We got hit from behind. Brandon's drink flew and got all over the car. I turned around to see if the kids were okay. Then got out to see if the person who hit us was okay. Brandon was asking what the heck happened. I guess the 17 year old girl blacked out and hit us. When I went over to talk to her she was crying and wanted to use my phone to call her parents. I let her. I asked her why she blacked out and she said "I do it all the time" I said WHAT??? She said "I mean I used to do it all the time but it has been about a year since the last time it happened". And then she said "I have never blacked out while driving". I was thinking that is because you haven't been driving very long and you shouldn't even be driving if this isn't the first time it has happened. Any how, we are all okay. I am still sore from the whip lash. Both Brandon and I had bad head aches last night. I have another head ache this morning but it might just be from all the stress of the accident. I hope I don't start getting bad head aches now. I guess we will just have to give it time. So our day went from great to bad. As silly as it sounds, I am very grateful she hit the back of us and didn't just black out right into the middle of the intersection. Things could have been a lot worse. We are very blessed to just have a messed up bumper and sticky inside car. Hopefully I don't have to go a long time without a car while it all gets fixed back to normal. That wouldn't be fair to me. Hopefully we can get a rental car or something. :)
