Steve's Car Wreck

Let me start off by saying that Steve is okay! He was in what he's calling a "Minor Car Wreck". I tend to exaggerate (stop saying "amen"), so we'll just stick with his description. I will tell you all what I told him... let me tell ya how I got the news...

I was on my way home from work and I called Steve (I always call when I'm leaving work) and the first thing he says is "Did you get my email?". I said, "no, why?". He then explained the car wreck. Before I tell you all what happened, let me just say that I was SO glad that I talked to him before I read his email. Steve knows me too well (knows I would've freadked out), and I know him too well (knowing he "under exaggerates" and wouldn't want to worry me, so he'd make it sound better than it was)- so me knowing this could've been a "freak out" session for me if I had not talked to him first. He emailed and said "I'm okay. I have been in minor car wreck, not my fault. Getting a tow truck and a rent car. I love you."

Okay, so here's how my brain would've read that (if I hadn't talked to him first)- Steve knows I would worry so he didn't want to freak me out, so he calls this "MINOR". But about 3 years ago I was in a car wreck where I was rear-ended on the highway and spun around. The car was not badly damaged amazingly, and I could drive it away... WITHOUT A TOW TRUCK! So, in my brain, I'm thinking... "okay if he needs a tow truck... it's not MINOR!". That being said, I would've freaked out at that point. So, the Lord definitely allowed me to talk to him on the phone first to save me some stress!!

So, "what happened?" you all are asking... welp, here ya go...

Steve was driving through an intersection (with a green- not yellow, not orange, not red light!) and someone from the oncoming traffic tried to make a left turn across Steve's lane. That's when Steve T-Boned her car! Evidently the girl did not pay attention what-so-ever because she didn't see him coming. You can see by the pics below that Steve hit her in the "mid-front" section of her car... which means she didn't come CLOSE to making that left turn!











Steve is okay, not even sore.. so praise the Lord for that. The girl was okay as of yesterday, so we're hoping she wasn't hurt. (I know when I was in my wreck I didn't hurt until the next day- so I'm hoping that doesn't happen to her).

We are waiting to find out if the car is considered totalled or if they will be able to fix it. We may have to be doing some car shopping! Praise the Lord for Dave Ramsey... that's all I have to say!
