Roommates, Boyfriend, & Car Crashes.

Wow, so it's been an insanely long time since I've updated this blog. So much has happened since the last time I updated. I really don't even know where to begin!

Anyways, I just wanted to write down certain things that have crossed my mind.

My roommate, Shadie, & her boyfriend Jed are going to get married this August! Can you believe that?! It was only last August that they met!

Well, since Shadie will be moving out after the summer time, I've been thinking about some of the changes that I'd have to face. It will definitely be strange having a roommate that isn't Miss Shadie Ann. She's such a good roommate, even better friend, and probably the greatest "sister" that I'll ever have. I'm glad she and Jed are together... I really can't think of anyone better for her!

So, the troubles of "a new roommate" have been weighing on my mind... but I'm sure it'll all work out alright. I'm pretty sure Perla, one of my other roommates, and I will be sharing a room next Fall. She's so much fun. I guess it's just hard for me to get used to the idea, haha.

Oh! Hm, Scott came to visit me during Spring Break! It was so much fun. He's so amazing and so good to me :) I really am a lucky girl. Haha. He went through the trouble of asking my parents how they felt about us dating... and if it was alright if we did. Gosh, NO ONE has ever done that for me before. Scott really is something else. I'm so happy with him! He makes me happy.

Let's see... my spring break was March 6th - 16th. I celebrated my 21st birthday with my family & boyfriend. I got to go to Salt Lake and see stuff around there with Scott. Oh, but the biggest thing that happened was probably my car accident. Ugh.

Some girl was reading at the wheel... and she rear ended me at about 30 - 35 mph... Yeah. We were stopped at a light behind some other cars... and she wasn't paying attention. I was at the wheel, Scott in the passenger's seat, and my brother, Darryl, right behind me.

The car hit where Darryl was sitting... (no worries, he is fine... none of us were hurt too bad)... but it was pretty shocking. (Click it or ticket, by the way) ...you know.

But through this experience, I was able to see the hand of God in my life. Before we were hit, we were kind of just sitting in the car... not really talking or anything. My hands were on the wheel... the car was stopped behind the car in front of us... normal, right? Well, when the car hit us from behind, my car went flying forwards (about 10ft - 12ft) ...and headed right. It wasn't in my mind to even turn to the right until the car started going in that direction...

I knew that it was Heavenly Father... guiding the car out of the way... He made it possible so that wouldn't hit the car parked in front of us. I know this. It's amazing how we can really see his Hand... how little "miracles" like that can bless us, even change us.

Anyways, that's pretty much all I wanted to share... haha. I'll leave you with pictures of my Corolla after the accident. Oh! By the way, her insurance paid for everything... including my new Honda Civic 2006 :D haha. yay!
