The Anniversary and The Incident

As of yesterday, Zach and I, have been married for 5 years. It doesn't really feel like it's been that long, but it also feels like it's been much longer. To celebrate, he took me out to lunch on Thursday, on Friday we went to see the new Transformers movie. It was really good! The best one out of the 3. I think I might plan for us to go to dinner tonight too, but we'll see. I have a $50 gift certificate to restaurants.com that I got from Bing Rewards, and right now would be a perfect time to use it since restaurants.com has $25 certificates for $2.

Anyways, yesterday was kind of crazy. First, Zachary almost had his ear taken off! He was doing a paratrooper jump into Utah Lake. I'm not positive what happened. Something about his helmet broke off, and I think he didn't tuck his chin under, and the parachute nearly sliced his ear off. He said his ear lobe was dangling and only being held on by 3 pieces of skin. Plus, either his bracket or the wire on his braces came unattatched and his orthodontist won't fix it until Monday. On top of all that, I got in my first car accident where I was the driver. I am so glad that I was the only one in the car! So, I was going from my parent's house to my house. I was just minding my own business when this silver Pontiac starts running through a stop sign. I slam on my brakes and have to swerve to miss him, and I do miss him. He finally stopped about halfway into the lane. I think, Oh My Gosh, that was the closest I've ever been to getting in a car accident. Then, I stop at the red light. I am preoccupied thinking about the almost accident when BAM, the same silver Pontiac rearends my car! I don't know exactly what I was thinking after that, but I got out of my car and started screaming at him. He signaled for me to pull off the road. So, I got back in my car and pulled off to the side of the road. Then I proceeded to get out of my car and continue to yell at the guy saying things like, "WHAT THE H**L WHERE YOU THINKING" "HOW IS IT THAT YOU NEARLY RUN INTO ME ONCE AND THEN ACTUALLY RUN INTO ME?!" His response to the last remark was I don't remember almost hitting you before. WHAT!!!!!????!!!!! I kind of calmed down after that, enough to make sure he was ok and really get a look at the damage. His hood was messed up and my car just has a foot long dent in the bumper and a bent license plate. Again, I am so glad I didn't have the kids with me. I am not hurt, but who knows if the kids were in the back seat, if they would have gotten hurt. So, even though we had kind of a bad day yesterday, I am thankful that my family is safe because it all could be so much worse.
