Hey, man, now you're really living.

So, naturally, nothing is ever easy. Right? Right. Last night, Chelsea, Sarah, Mike, Charlie, and I decided we wanted to go to House of Pies, sort of as a goodbye thing or whatever. Yeah. Well at around 11 o'clock we were leaving to come home, and we were close to the 610 loop and so we just decided to take that instead of taking Westheimer the entire way home. WELL. Long story short, we got in a wreck on 610 (a road I have NEVER driven on before... go figure.) Anyway. Everyone was ok, I hit got sideswiped when I was switching into another lane... luckily we were ok, the other guy swerved and hit the barrier. He was okay too, though, which is clearly the most important thing. It was a huge nightmare and the cops came and I got a citation for unsafe lane changing (and BY THE WAY, I checked both my mirrors AND turned around and looked... the guy could not have been any more in my blind spot if he tried. Obviously not a very defensive driver...).. now we're just dealing with the insurance and getting my car fixed. Suuuuuuuuuch a nightmare. It really freaked me out. Last night I could hardly sleep, I just kept thinking about how much worse it could have been... We could have swerved into traffic or something... my 2 best friends were in the car with me... I just don't know what I would have done. I am feeling incredibly guilty and haunted by how careless I was. I am SO thankful to God that He was there and protected not only the five of us in my car but the other guy I hit. I just feel really bummed out. But I am so glad that everyone is okay.
