it all began with a CRASH!!

It is true. 2013 started with a crash, a car accident to be exact.

On January 3, the first day back to school after the holiday break, Kaitlyn asked if she could drive my Pontiace G6 to school because her Chevy Cavelier was out of gas. No big deal, right? She has done that before. Well...on her way from from school.... She started to cross Highway 89/91 on a green light when some one in a red car, heading westbound, ran the red light in front of her. She was very shaken but not stirred! Seriously, she didn't even get whiplash. She does have a bruised rib that twinges every once in a while but nothing that keeps her from doing anything she wants. :)

But, my G6 on the other hand looks like this!

Luckily, the person who caused the accident had great insurance. After a bit of stress, two weeks with a rental car, and one week with just one car, I am now the proud owner of a Hyundai Elantra! I did something I've never done before and am still shaking my head about it. I think I will warm up to the idea but right now it is so foreign to me, I can comprehend it. I leased a brand new car! Yup, I'm driving around a spiffy, 2013 shimmering silver wonder. I don't have pictures of me standing in front of it so enjoy a stock photo.
