Happy October! My birthday is in 14 days.... Just thought I would let you know =)
Well, Some bad and good news. I will give you the bad news first, then top it off with some good!
So the bad news... On Friday around 6pm, Mom, Kel, Josh and myself were all heading over to our friends house (the Kincaid's). And when my mom came up to a stop light, we were rear-ended. Hit by one dude first, and the guy behind hit him, making the first dude hit us once again. No one was hurt!!!! Praise God! But it was pretty bad! The dude behind us was going pretty fast when he hit us. After awhile of being on the side of the road, my dad came to be with us. It was a really hard time! I was feeling really dizzy/faint like... so I stayed in the car most of the time. I was checked by the firemen and then again by the paramedics. And since I am 18, I had to sign a form saying I did not want to go to the hospital. (Oh, by-the-way, not sure who my little brother told, but I do not have a crush on the fireman, I just said he was cute! Big difference! haha)
After my grandpa was doing working, he meet up with us as well. We finally left around 8:30 0r so. My grandpa (with Josh) driving my dad's work van, my dad (with Kelsey) driving the Expedition, and me driving my grandpa's SUV. So mom rode with me... making me a little nerves... having her teach me how to drive all over again, even though I have my license. haha During the weekend, Mom, Kel and I all were sore, and I had whip-lash for a few days. Josh was fine! Lucky!
And the latest is, the Expedition was checked out yesterday (Wednesday), and it is totaled. Which we knew already.
Now time for the good news, which is a few things. First, my aunt Andrea (my mom's youngest sister) is going to have another baby!!! We are all very excited! This will be her and my uncle Hugo's (oo'go) third (Diego 4, Lili 2). She is expecting it to be dude in May. So when the baby is born, my grandparents will have 8 grand-kids all living in Pensacola.
{Oldest to youngest - the age we will be when the baby is born - DOB - Dad and Mom. }

The second good news, is that my dad and a friend of his might be going up to VA this weekend to get our stuff. We are trying not to get our hopes up, but we are praying! =)
Here are somethings prayer request... feel free to pray for only one thing! But please keep us in your prayers!
- Since the car accident, we don't have a car anymore, that was our only one. Please pray that God will provide us with a mini van or another Expedition.
- I am still searching for a job. Nothing around here is working out. I did apply for Target again, got an email saying they are not hiring right now. Gave a vet my resume, called a few days later like they said, and told me that they had not spoken to the Doctor yet, but would set up an interview is something was opened. Have not heard from them yet. And I also handed out a few more resumes to other places.
- Please pray for my dad who will prob/most likely will be making a trip up to Virginia, pray for safety/and a speedy return/ and that the truck will not break down or anything like it did the last time we moved from FL to VA 12 years ago!
