A Crazy Few Weeks!!!

It has been a really crazy week, and we are looking forward to it finally being over. This past week Nathan and I and Michael have been in Canada visiting Nathan's family. We were originally planning on going home yesterday, which was Tuesday the 4th. Then we realized we had a flat tire and needed to get it fixed. Nathan and his father took the car to the shop and while they were pullling into the station, another car decided to back out and didn't even look around him. They backed right into our little car!!!!!!!!!!! We don't have a picture of it right now, but I will post one later. They ended up doing about $3,100 worth of damage!!!! It's a really sad story. The other car was a pick up truck and they went right into the passenger door and the back door. The back door window is broken and the only thing that has kept it from falling apart has been the tinting. I'm just really grateful that Michael wasn't in the car at the time of the accident. His car seat is right by that window.

So now the plan is to go home tomorrow and we have to put duct tape on the window to keep it from falling in and then get the whole window and doors replaced in Idaho. We might just buy a new car.

It has just been such a big hassle, but a really good learning experience. This has been our first accident and we're really grateful that it has happened when we're near family who knows what to do and knows what we can demand from the other insurance (lost wages, rental car, etc.) Hopefully we can get it all settled and organized before school starts for Nathan.
