Keeping up my reputation


Well, as many of you may know, I have a knack for getting into car accidents. I figured with me being home for the Holidays and my parents having one car that I have yet to wreck, I may as well get the job done. Tyler and I were heading out to Anaheim last night to meet up with a few of his friends. I was telling him how comfortable I felt driving on the freeway, because as I was going 75 I was the one speeding. The freeway slowed down and eventually came to a stop. I had merged into the carpool lane and explained to Tyler that in CA I never cross the double yellow lines(I used the dotted section) We were sitting at a standstill in this carpool lane when I looked in the rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of a truck swerve into our lane (to avoid the stopped traffic in his own) and head straight for us at what appeared to be quite a fast speed. I held tight to the brakes and informed Tyler that we were about to get hit. Now, I say that all the time (I'm a very nervous driver) but this time I knew it was a sure thing. Tyler however didn't believe me so he turned around to look. Just as he did the truck slammed into our bumper. I was only a bit shaken up (which is amazign because normally I lose control). The other driver and I chatted for a bit and we waiting for a tow truck to come get his now useless truck. I was amazed at how bad his front end looked compared to our backend. It took quite some time for an officer to get to us (according to the dispach girl they were working on something "bigger" then our two cars in the carpool lane of the 60 freeway.
It all turned out to be alright in the end. The kids dad seemed pretty ticked off by the time he got to us. I felt bad for him. Tyler and I still made it out to Anahiem.
Tomorrow I will have pictures up of our newest friend....stay tuned!






Disneyland!!!



Waiting for fireworks



Tyler took me to Disneyland as a part of my Christmas gift. We had alot of fun. When we first arrived the park was empty enough for us to hit all the major rides without much of a line. We watched a few shows and parades as well. We waited 2 hours in the cold for a fireworks show that didn't happen. You will see how happy Tyler was about that in the pictures. It was a really fun day!





Merry Christmas
