The night before we were in a pretty scary car accident. It had been snowing all afternoon and we were on the way home from Provo. We made it all the way to main street in Springville, ironically remarking how we were glad we hadn't been in an accident, when our luck turned. Out of nowhere, a truck in the next lane lost control and veered toward us. We barely had time to react before it slammed into the rear passenger side of my brand new 2011 Mazda. It sent us into a tail spin and the snow from the top of the car covered the windsheild. For a fleeting second, we had no idea where we were headed and how much longer we'd be on this earth. I remember saying a quick prayer in my heart, pleading with God to not let us go into oncoming traffic. My prayer was heard, and we had luckily spun toward the side of the road. We were glad to learn that no one was injured, and even more glad to find out that the vehicle that hit us was insured. Although the road back to normalcy will be a long one as far as our car situation goes, we couldn't have had a better message sent to us on our 6 month anniversary. It was a sweet reminder of how short this life is and that we are sealed for ETERNITY. Even if (heaven forbid) we had been killed, we are together forever. I don't think there could be a better way to remind us of that than this accident.
Happy 6 months Craig! I love you and I can't wait for the next 6 months and the adventures they bring!
