Car Wreck


First and foremost -everyone is OK, but yes Brian and I got into a car wreck last weekend, obviously fairly bad -luckily Connor was not with us. We were leaving Margot MacDonald's beautiful wedding reception at Hoslton Hills Country Club and unfortunately chose Magnolia Avenue to travel home - the accident happened right in front of good ole Catholic High where an oncoming vehicle turned left without yielding. Brian did not even have time to hit the brakes -we hit them at probably 40 mph. Brian and I only had some bumps and bruises, the other vehicle did have 2 children in it, one not in a carseat - she was sent to the hospital for observation for 24 hours - no outstanding injuries found. A female passenger also had a injured vertebrae - again released from the hospital. It certainly is a wake up call and reminder how quickly life can change, and how blessed we each are for everyday.

Mandy - that freaks me out. I am so glad to know you both are OK. And you are so right about how fragile and precious life is...

Mandy, I'm so sorry. This looks terrible but Tom and I are so, so happy that no one was seriously injured. It really does put things in perspective and remind us all to be so thankful for what and who we have in our lives.
