KABOOM!!!!!!

This was after my mom pulled some of the glass out...

Before.....

After...Norton Glass Company saved my life!!!!


BOOM! It sounded like a bomb went off. My mom and I were headed back to Wichita today from Norton. We were maybe 3 miles out of town when I met a semi. As we passed him he must of kicked up a rock (I guess) and sent it flying through the window behind me. A split second earlier it would of come through the driver's window. Scared the P**S out of me!

Got the car pulled over...got my bearings....quit shaking and turned around and headed back to Norton. Found the nicest people at Norton Glass Company. They removed the rest of the glass still hanging in the frame, vacuumed my car out and then taped a piece of cardboard over the window so we could get home. You cannot say enough about the people in a small town and what they will do! I owe them more than the $20 he finally let me pay him!

Of course me being the scrapper wanted to capture the moment despite how frightening it was and today was the day I left the house without ONE camera. Yes..it is true. I NEVER leave the house without one of them in my purse. My phone camera saved the day for just a bit...until it died. I did capture 2 pictures. My window gets busted..no camera to document it...not my day. Wait a minute...yes it was my day. My mom and I decided that my dad was looking out for me and made that rock hit a SPLIT second LATER...saving it from going through my window and lord only knows what would of happened. Thanks DAD! After driving a while I decided that maybe he was telling me that I was lucky so I bought a Powerball ticket...will let you know how that turns out! LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!

Glad to be home in one piece and enjoyed my quality time with my mom!

Happy 1st Anniversary!!!

One year ago today!!! Congrats you two!

Daredevils!

First official picture together!


Wow....has it really been a year! One year ago today we were getting ready for Shelly & Brandon's wedding. Doesn't even seem possible! I will speak for them and say they have had a great year! We have had so much fun sharing in all the craziness that is for sure! There have been many nights when Shelly & I have fallen asleep in the living room while Joe and Brandon solve all the world's problems in the "man cave" till wee hours of the next day! :) I know that Joe feels so blessed to have had Shelly as a sister (in law) for all these years and now I get the chance to have a new brother (in law)! Brandon has fit right into our family like he has been here for 20 years instead of 2 years! Brandon may wonder what he walked into almost 3 years ago but we are sure glad he did. He loves my sister and that is the most important thing of all! I am so glad they found each other and get to go on the "crazy" ride called marriage and allow us to tag along! So here's too many more years you two!!! WE LOVE YOU!
