What a beautiful way to start the day!!!!

My first official "real" accident. I say "real" because I spun off the road last year on a rainy day and landed (missing a telephone pole - God is GOOD!) in someone's driveway. When Michael arrived he asked if I had moved the car and I told him, "I haven't - this is where I landed." He was shocked. But this accident was "real" in that I do believe the car was totalled and I landed in a ditch. I was in the turning lane when a lady came over two lanes of traffic and hit me on the right passenger tire. We found out later that the tire was horizontal - which explains why I lost my brakes - and the car kept going and ended up in a ditch. I will stop to say that I again missed a huge pole that holds those electronic signs. God is GOOD! Once I landed in the ditch the airbags deployed and I noticed the windshield was cracked and I saw smoke. My 10 week old, Braden, had been asleep until the hit and he was now crying. That scared me. I immediately got out and grabbed the carseat and went up the hill to sit down. Braden was fine - as was I - just a little shaken thinking of what could've happened to him. Michael arrived on the scene about 15 minutes later and took us to the Emergancy Room and we both checked out fine. Again - God is Good! I ended up with minor burns on my face from the airbag and a chipped tooth. Both can be taken care of! It is amazing how God can be there for us as we're just driving down the road on our way home on a typical day. Life could've been changed (more than it already is) drastically that day. Braden could've been hurt or killed as well as myself hurt badly. I had just left friends at work 30 minutes prior to the accident. You just never know when someone you are talking to one minute can be gone the next. Thank You God for allowing us more time with our loved ones! God, You are AWESOME!

Welcome to my blog site! I hope you find something interesting on here!

Life in Tennessee has been interesting over the past 4 1/2 years. There is a lot of life lived in that time which lands me to the present - being a mommy to Braden! Michael and I got married in December of 2000. We met at Hobe Sound Bible College in 1993. We dated on and off during my 2 years there. After 2 years I moved back to Pennsylvania. We ended up talking again a few years later. While I was a nanny in Virginia I decided to visit him in Tennessee. It was during that trip we discussed getting married and decided to just set a date! Long story short - I moved here and we got married December 16, 2000. Michael is the Youth Pastor at our church. The job in itself has taken us on A LOT of trips. For example: Braden is 10 weeks today and he has been to Indianapolis (for General Assembly), Dollywood (Middle High Youth Camp) and Disney World (Youth Trip). He is definitely a travelling baby - and does well! About Braden: we decided to wait 3 years before starting a family - and the Lord decided for us to wait 4 years. So - along comes Braden. He has changed our lives immensely. He is a wonderful addition to our lives - couldn't imagine life without him - now we can only hope for a sister!!! More on that in a couple of months...........
