I just want to end this day by expressing my gratitude for my Adrian. This evening, we were in a serious car accident. Other than being very banged up and getting more and more sore as the adrenaline is wearing off, everyone is OK.
We had just turned onto HWY254 in front of Mossy Creek Camp Ground, heading home from Gainesville, when a driver lost control going around a curve at an extremely high and dangerous speed. The police measured 127 feet of skid marks, so he was probably taking the curve at around 60 miles an hour. The driver's car was heading right for us, head on. It was like a dream and I saw the car coming right through our windshield.
Adrian maneuvered the car in a way to avoid getting hit directly head on. I remember his voice sounding like an angel as he said, "We're going in the ditch and it's going to be OK." and then BOOM! Our mini van is totalled. Air bags on the side were deployed. Mollie's life was saved by her car seat AND the side air bag. She has a booster seat but I am SOOOO glad she was in her old five point harness car seat even though she is old enough for just the booster. If you could see what the door on her side looks like, you would know why I am so glad she was fully protected by the full car seat.
Jolie, Sydney, Fischer, Adrian and I were all wearing our seat belts. I would hate to think where we'd be right now had we not been wearing them. Nicholas was at Su Su's (my mother) house, so he wasn't in the car with us.
We are safe drivers. We don't speed. Adrian has the nick name of being a granny driver because he doesn't break the speed limit. But because of his focus and his caution, he saved our lives this evening and avoided a more serious accident.
As for the young man who was driving so crazy, we said a special prayer just for him tonight. He didn't even have a driver's license. We hope and pray he will take this lesson to heart and be so grateful he didn't seriously hurt or kill anybody.
Good night everyone who reads this. Please always buckle up when you get in the car. You never know what's around the corner. Lots of Love, Abigail

AMEN! So glad that everyone is safe.
Wow!!! I am so glad that y'all are all right. That is so scary. Way to go Uncle A on your good driving skills to have prevented the accident from being even worse than what it was. I hope y'all feel better from the soreness caused by the accident and any other bumps, cuts, or bruises!!!
SOOOOOO glad you are all okay...yay Adrian!!! You have earned your theme song now!
OMG Abi! I am so very thankful Adrian stayed calm & kept you all safe! I love you all bunches! Hope all your bumps & bruises heal fast & those of the other driver heal slow so he won't be too soon to forget the accident he caused! Love you!
How horrific! I am glad to hear y'all are okay - soooo scary. Andrew got in a car accident when we were first married as he was sitting at a stop light - he wasn't even moving! You never know what's going to happen.
