Day of thanks!
Since my accident Monday, I have felt a lot of gratitude for all the many blessings in my life. I feel truly blessed that I walked away from the accident with only a few scratches, and even more grateful that the baby is totally fine!
I am so grateful for my amazing husband who will do almost anything for me!
I am thankful for all my family. They make me happy and do so much for us.
I am so, so thankful for the Savior and His sacrifice for me. I am also grateful to know that He is a part of my life and is always there to comfort and protect me.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend BYU and get a college degree. It has been long and hard, but I know that it will always be a blessing in my life.
I am grateful to have so many conveniences such as a car (well hopefully soon), cell phone, tv, refrigerator, warm clothes, blankets, good books to read, etc...
There are so many other things that I am thankful for, but we'll save that post for another day :)

Farewell Young Friend
If you've been reading our blog since at least March, you'll know that we got a new car this year. It was a beautiful, cheap, reliable car. I say 'was' because our poor Corolla is no more.
Haha, as if the back was the worst...check out the front:
Now for the story. I got a call early Monday morning from Christy. She got in an accident on I-15 near Point of the Mountain when the car in front of her suddenly stopped. According to her, she saw the car stop, realized she couldn't swerve into another lane because the other lanes were still flowing smoothly, and then slowed down as much as possible (the rain certainly didn't help, I'm sure). The police estimated that she hit the car in front of her going 30 mph.
When it was all said and done, there was a 4 car pile up with the Corolla smashed in at #3. Christy said she was okay, but just to make sure the baby was okay, she went to the hospital (her mom picked her up while I met them there - thanks to Rob Sanders for the ride). Fortunately, all of the humans involved were okay. Unfortunately, our car was not.
But the story has a happy ending. I just got off with the insurance company and the car appraised at $4300! Take out our $500 deductible and we just got $800 more for the car than we paid for it. Not too bad of an investment (although it would make a very dangerous investment strategy). However, we have lost a dear friend. Farewell, Corolla.
Oh - and we're in the market now, so if you know of any cheap cars, send them our way. We're borrowing my parents' VERY old car in the meantime and we are eager to get rid of it.

Christmas Craziness...
I realize that it's still early November. In fact, I have pointed that out to Christy numerous times. Nevertheless, our home and car were filled with Christmas music as soon as the radio started playing it (curse you 100.3 and 106.5) and now this...
But at least it looks good, right?
