Hey everybody,

I'm recouping from a long week of GMA and concerts. It was quite an eventful week. The good news....... We won a Dove Award!!! Yay!!!! Bad news....... I wasn't there to accept the award because I got in a wreck on the way to the Doves. AND NO IT WASN' T my fault!!! I was in the right lane about to exit off the hwy and the guy beside me swerved into me while trying to avoid the brake lights in front of him. Leigh and our friend Jessie were in the car with me. Thankfully, no one was hurt. It happened in 5 oclock traffic and could've been really bad. It was quite funny actually as I stood by the side of the road in my Dove outfit on the warmest day we've had this year. Someone we knew pulled over when he saw us and took Leigh on to the award show. I was thankful she made it in time. So, that left Jessie and I to wait for the police to come. I can't imagine what people were thinking as they drove by and saw us standing there all dressed up. The funniest was pulling up to valet at the Doves once we finally got there and me trying to get out of my door that would barely open. REAL COOL!!!! The valet was looking at me like "What in the world?"

Now, I'm driving a mini van while waiting for my car to be fixed. I'm really not the minivan type, but I'll have to say that they drive really nice:) Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Overall, I'm grateful that we were all safe. Its another reminder that life's detours can cause me to once again be reminded of how blessed I am for the people in my life and that cars and stuff don't really matter. Hope the pictures make you smile. Have a blessed day.
