Last Wednesday, I was in a serious car accident….rear-ended heading east on Highway 183 between Bryant-Irvin and Hulen St. All cars had come to a stop, as two lanes were merging into one. I was at a complete stop, when a car hit me going at least 50 mph. I had a concussion and still have some neck pain, although a chiropractor has helped me to recover quickly. I’m so grateful that Sam and Nate were not in the car. As you can see from the post-wreck photos, the back seat was torn up. Just another reminder to count my blessings and to pray for safety on the road for all drivers…

Bye-bye, Subaru. We purchased you in Casper, Wyoming, on Curby's 33rd birthday. You carried us to Charlottesville, Virginia, as our sole vehicle, transporting our boys safely home from the hospital after they were born and being reliable throughout our PhD journey. You carried us to Springfield, Illinois, and you brought us home to Fort Worth. Just one month ago, you passed 100,000 miles...and now it's over. Just one more trial we're facing...through it all, we're thankful for our blessings.
