Well Christmas completely snuck up on me this year! It seems like just last week it was Thanksgiving!!!! I'm sad to say that this year is probably the worst Christmas I've ever had! =[
It seemed the weekend was going to be great. Friday Nathan and I worked together to finish up the project/presents I had to finish. Then we exchanged our gifts.
Saturday we completely finished all present wrapping and what not. Then about 5 we started up to Waynesville to get Ashley for our Christmas with our mom. We got to Mt.Vernon about 9pm, I don't know about everyone else but I had a good time seeing my mom, I was just glad to see her for Christmas. We left about 11pm and got Ashley home about 1:15 - 1:20. Then Nathan and I started back home. I drove to Waynesville to take Ashley back, so Nathan said he'd drive cause I'm not too good at driving at night, and I was really tired. He was so sweet and told me to go ahead and lay back and go to sleep. I told him I didn't want to go to sleep because I wanted to stay up with him so he didn't get tired and I could keep him awake. But he said no go to sleep so I did. The next thing I remember was hearing a huge crashing sound and feeling the car jerk. I sat up and realize we were stopped on the side of the road, and then Nathan said we'd got in a wreck! I've never been in any type of car wreck big or small so I was definitely shook up. When I completely woke up, calmed down, and finally realized what had happened. Nathan and I got out of the car to check the damage. The whole driver side front to back was damaged, so bad that Nathan couldn't get his door open or window down, he had to climb out of my side. We called my brother and he came and picked us up and the highway patrol stopped and let us sit in her car to stay warm, and wrote up an accident report and gave us a ticket because what Nathan hit was the middle guard rails and it damaged 2 of them.
Nathan was really upset that he wrecked the car, and that we got a ticket. He kept saying he was sorry he ruined Christmas. I felt horrible because I wasn't blaming him at all, and felt horrible that I didn't just stay up and keep him up. I have just been thanking God that we weren't hurt at all, because when you think about it, we could have been really hurt or even worst killed! They say falling asleep driving is worst than drinking and driving!
So yesterday (Christmas Day) instead of going to up to Kansas City as planned we sat at home, watched movies all day and just hung out. It was definitely a sad day because we both wanted to be with family yet were stuck at home. But like I said I'm just glad we are both ok. So I guess today (Monday) we will find out about the car, and the damage of it. I honestly think it will be totaled. I mean I'd be surprised if it wasn't! So I will update sometime this week!
I know our Christmas wasn't how we planed, it was pretty much horrible and not wanted at all. But if God brought us to it, He'll get us through it! I again thank Him for keeping us save! And I pray that everyone had a wonderful and save Christmas and a BIG Happy Birthday to Jesus! =]
Stay Blessed
