This week we decided to take a little road trip with the babies. We got in late last night and were checking into our hotel about midnight. Brent went inside to check us in and get the luggage cart. Our car was off the road but right next to it. He put the cart behind the car and walked over to the driver's side door to turn car off. About that time, we heard a car speeding up fast behind us. He ran to the other side of the car and the next thing we knew, there was a truck right next to us about ten feet in front of us. It slammed it's breaks on and started in reverse full speed. We could see sparks flying and it was heading towards our car. I jumped out of my seat and started towards the back seat. The truck then geared back to drive and sped off. It left behind a post that it ran into and ripped out of concrete. It was stuck to the front of the truck! He went in reverse in attempts to pull it off. It ran into it and drove off right before he came up by us. The post still had about a foot of concrete all the way around the post. Thank God that wasn't a person. Thank God that fifteen seconds later a cop came flying by us chasing that truck. I'm praying that person is in jail and getting help.
I couldn't breathe and I really saw all our lives possible ending from a truck running over or smashing into us us. Brent and I looked at each other and just couldn't believe it happened. We went to bed talking about it and woke up talking about it.
You never think it will happen to you, but it can. We aren't promised tomorrow and no one in our family is either. If I've learned one thing in the past several years, that would be it.
Knox had a hard time falling back to sleep in the hotel because he was itchy, but I didn't mind holding him one bit. I can't imagine my life without these smiles, even in the stressful moments.

ReplyDeleteOH MEGAN! So thankful for God's protection over your precious family last night. I cannot imagine the fear you felt climbing into the backseat. Just rejoicing with you that you all are safe and sound. Not that you needed a reminder to count your blessings-- but crazy moments like that sure do make things snap into perspective really quick.

ReplyDeleteMegan, that is so scary. I'm so thankful none of you were hurt. God truly must have his arms wrapped safely around you guys.
ReplyDeleteI agree we do need to cherish each day.
Hug those babies tight!
How horribly scary! There are so many idiots out there. I wish we could somehow corral them all and put them in their own little city with instructions never to leave. I'm so glad everyone's okay.
ReplyDeleteThank God everybody was okay!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is absolutely terrifying. THANK GOD no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're okay! That stuff is so much scarier when you have kids. I had a car back into me just as I got in to leave the parking lot. The damage to the car was fixable, but the fact that the other driver backed into the exact spot my mom had been standing while holding my baby girl not one minute before really shook me up.
ReplyDeleteHoly wow girl. I am so, so glad everyone is okay. How scary.
ReplyDeleteBut what a beautiful picture of three beautiful people. Enjoy the rest of your trip lady :)
This picture of you and your little angels is wonderful! Thanks for sharing and thanks be to God!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all are ok. Scary start to a trip!
ReplyDeletePraise God you are all 4 okay!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is not cool! Glad to hear you are all safe though :D
ReplyDeleteThe scariest part of having a family is knowing that they can be taken in the blink of an eye. My husband lost his father and brother to a drunk driver and even 14 years later it's hard to swallow. Will always be. So thankful you are ALL safe and sound. You've known enough sorrow for a lifetime.
ReplyDeletewow that is scary! thank God you are all ok!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad y'all are safe!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that is so scary! so glad y'all are ok! That pic is absolutely adorable and perfect!! Love love love! :)

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Megan!! How incredibly scary and yes in a blink of an eye! I'm sure you held onto your babies tighter all day after too! It's true we never expect the unexpected to happen. I'm so glad you weren't hurt!
ReplyDeleteWow what a crazy story. Glad you are all okay. That bottom picture of the three of you is the sweetest!
