Saturday!

My Saturday was very eventful! First, we headed to see my Grandma Hall in the Hospital. On the way there, we were on the highway. This truck in front of us tried to pull over... right into the spot where we were. Mom says he was trying to get us to slow down, because it was one of those "Wide Load" escort trucks. We slowed down, and, well, the car behind us didn't. Next second- screech! crash! The whole car shook. Our heads hit out headrests. We all just sat there for a second, before it hit me- We just got in a crash! Genius, yes? This was new to me. I look out the back window, and The car behind us is... what's that word they use? Totalled. The entire front bumper, headlights, and some of the engine is gone. This doesn't bode well for our van. I get out and look at it... nothing looks different, except for a dent in the bumper. (I realized the black traction part of the bumper was missing later.) Anyway, we drove a little to a spot where we could pull over, somehow those other guys did too... Then police junk, filling out forms, called insurance, blah blah blah. We drove away. The other guys- not so much. They got a tow. Poor guys.

Later, though, we went up to Heber to visit the McKnights! I haven't seen them for over a year. Me and Brayden were friends like... post pre-school. We played games. We ate dinner (There were 14 people!) and then we played some more. Even I succumbed to Rock Band. The guitar is pretty fun (at least on easy mode...) but I didn't know any of the songs. It was all fun.

From recent posts, I guess you are LDS. If you are not, correct me. But if you are, know this I am LDS, and it seems to me that the Lord was watching over you. Sorry about the crash.

Yes, you are correct. We think so, too. And don't be sorry! We're all just fine, and the Van's not even that bad.
