This past Friday, Sara, Wookie and I went to our local Seafood Festival. We had a great time, ate as much seafood as we wanted, did a little shopping at the vendors and sat on the beach listening to great music.

On the way home, about half way home, we were sitting at red light, behind about 8 cars from the light and WHAM, a drunk driver slammed into the rear of my SUV. He hit us at such a fast rate, we were shoved into the Pontiac in front of us. His Honda was no match for my SUV and was damaged a lot more then my SUV or the Pontiac. The man driving the Pontiac was so VERY kind! God bless him. The drunk driver was just so drunk! All he kept saying is, "I'm sorry", WHEN he would speak that is. The police had a hard time getting information from him. He was arrested and taken to jail. I hope that man gets the help he needs so he never drives drunk again. GRRRR now I have both front and rear damage to my SUV, bummer. Thankfully, I have a factory installed Tow Package, because that helped protect the frame. OH thank goodness.

All of us had seatbelts on and Mr Wookie was in his carseat. The EMTs were so impressed with Wookie's carseat, they had never seen one. Sara and I both are very sore, we woke up with full blown whiplash and have been taking it easy the past two days. Sara's left shoulder is sore and I have a bruise on my left shoulder from my seatbelt. Over all though, this was so much different then back in 1999 when we were hit. THANK God!

The police, all were very nice, the EMTs were all very kind and the man we hit, Ralph, in the Pontiac was amazingly wonderful. Please keep these people in your prayers, as well as the man that hit us, please pray he gets the help he needs.

Blah,
Melanie
