Well, it was bound to happen someday, and today was that day. I got in my first "my fault" car accident. Alright, so "car accident" is pretty strong for what happened, but it still freaked me out nonetheless.
(And I know you're thinking, well this is April Fools. She's just kidding. I wish I were!)
I was pulling into the super narrow parking spot at the library and clipped someones (shiny, Navy, new-looking) Honda and left a handful of beautiful white streaks across their front bumper. Awesome. Even more awesome- there is a good foot long scratch on our van, and our hubcap is broken.
All while this is happening Isaac is saying "Mom, its bumpy. What that noise? I hear a noise mom." So I told him I broke something. And to up the stress level he keeps saying "Mom, you broke something? You hear that noise? What'd you beak mom?"
I left a note, and went on with my day. Hours passed and I never heard from the person. I thought I was off the hook. Then I get a phone call:
caller: "Hi, Heather? This is Kyle"
Me: "Um, hey."
caller: "Yeah, you hit my car"
Darn. He remembered! Luckily he was really nice about it and didn't think it was a big deal. He almost thinks its not even worth fixing, but he's going to take a closer look.
Oh well, I guess life goes on! I'll tell you what though- I'll be walking to the library from now on!!

SOOOOO lucky! Seriously. I hit a brand new car once...though, I should say barely scraped, because that's what it was.
You honestly could not tell.
It cost me $900 to fix.
I am still mad, 3 years later. :)
Oh, dear. I am so sorry! Those parking spaces at the library are RIDICULOUSLY narrow. They really need to do something about that.
oh darn it! i hate that haha, we've had our fair share of "run in's" lately! haha :)
sooorrrry love. at least it wasn't as dramatic as mine <3 ha
LAME. hope it works out.
i love the picture of the kids on the side bar, audry's smile seems sneaky to me, like, she knows something i dont.
we miss you guys!
I'm so glad you obeyed the law and left a note! My little sisters passenger side got completely smashed in while she was in Wal-Mart and the person just drove off without doing anything responsible!
Totally ruins your day, huh? I got in two accidents, both my fault, in the first two months after getting my licenses. Now I'm a grandma driver.:)
heath, Sorry about the car stuff. but thank you for the birthday card. I appreciate it. I might call, but you know boys, they are flakey with that type of stuff. Tell the tall guy I say Hi and, although still not quite as competitive as the two of you, am jones-ing to play some "Pounce" with you. Maybe New Years ;)

Sorry to hear about the little bump! Did he decide to make you fix it? What is your new calling?
