I AM OK! Don't worry when you read this post!

To friends and family,

Some of you have already heard, but today I was in a pretty bad car accident on Hwy 20 on my way to North Carolina. I am ok!!! Don't worry, Layla and I are fine, she is still kicking around and playing Tarzan and Jane in my tummy. The truck is badly damaged and my body is very, very sore. But thank goodness because it could have been much worse. People slammed on their brakes in traffic going about 70 moh and I was the last one to get the memo and went careening into the woman in front of me. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the air bag did not deploy. The truck, however, is not driveable and is still in Lexington, SC.

Please pray for us seeing as how money has been tight because we were trying to save up for the baby. Looks like things just got tighter, but the most important thing is that we are ok and home in Augusta with Kristin who fortunately was able to come get me.

Anyway, been a long day...I am pretty tired and sore with aches all down my neck and back. My tummy is still wiggling around and Layla and I might go get checked out tomorrow just to be safe. Matthew does know and everything is fine, I didn't have to go to the hospital or anything to severe since my sister was able to come quickly to check on me and pick me up.

For fear that Matthew might have a heart attack, I am not posting the pictures of his truck online. Just know that fortunately, I was IN the truck and not my car and the truck took the brunt of the impact.

Love to all friends and family. Thank you for always being there and taking care of us! Without family and those we love and adore, we simply would not have the beautiful life that we have! I will update tomorrow with how things are going.

God bless.
