Car Accident!

So the day before my birthday somebody was nice enough to give me a gift. Here it is:




So I know this entry is over 2 months late but I told Dad I was going to post the pictures.

All of us were in the car. We were pulling out of our little apartment complex when this happened. We had to cross a busy road and there isn't really a safe way to do it unless you take a right, go down the road a ways, and if you get lucky flip a U. I thought I could go so I started. Another car showed up so I stopped. The car behind us thought we went and gunned it, thus hitting us. For being so close, he hit us hard. It was a couple of "punk" dressed kids but they were surprisingly good about it all.

Well, now it is fixed. It may have possibly fixed our alignment issues too because the last time we checked it is much better. Before it couldn't be fixed with shimmies, now, apparently, it can. I will have to show you the difference later because I don't have the information with me right now.

Did You Know?

Take a close look at this picture.

Was I the only one that missed that Nathan had a go-tee? The funny thing is...

I was THERE!

Lost and GOTTEN!

So several weeks ago we were up visiting Grandma and Grandpa Winston's. Amanda was preparing for the day in the bathroom. Ella was helping by watching her rings. She had them in her hands and was going towards Amanda when she stumbled. One, or more, of the rings flew out of her hands. One of them, yes, it would be the wedding ring, landed in the air vent that comes out from the floor. This air vent did not have one of those 'traps'. It was just a tube that acted like one of the slides you go down at a waterpark.
I tried reaching my arm down to get it. I was able to get my entire arm down put the angle was too steep. The ring slid further down than what even my "monkey arms", as Nathan once called them, could reach. We also tried a vacuum. It was Grandpa's idea and was a good idea, but didn't work. Luckily they had a crawl space. It was quite clean down there. I ended up having to undo the tubing from the vent and retape it back up. Anyways, here is some pictures of the experience.
