I got a scary phone call yesterday at work. My brother asked if I had a few minutes to talk and sounded pretty serious... he never does this, so of course I was a little worried. Thankfully everything, and everyone, was okay...but he got in a car accident while leaving school. Someone driving on the main road was going nearly 50mph in a school zone and hit him on his front drivers side as he left the parking lot. They both, somehow, walked away without a scratch.
Even though he was alright, this overwhelming feeling came over me for the rest of the afternoon... I can't imagine if that wreck had gone another way. It just made me want to squeeze ALL my loved ones at once and tell them all how much I love them! Fortunately tonight, we happened to be having everyone over to finally celebrate my grandpa's birthday and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I'm excited to make dinner -- we're having a huge taco bar, with homemade guac, chips + salsa, and spanish rice! That's my kinda night!
Spending time with my family is so important, and I'm really lucky to be so close with them.
I'm just thankful its a day closer to Friday! Have a great Thursday!

Aww, so scary... definitely stirs up lots of emotions. SO glad he's ok! I've seen you and your brother interact on IG and I have to say, it makes me pretty envious :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary! Especially when it's a family member. I'm so glad everybody was okay. Yay for being almost Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's so scary. I was in a small accident where the air bag deployed [2 weeks before my wedding] and it was the scariest experience. Everyone walked away fine, but goodness it was super scary and really made me think about what was important. I'm so thankful everyone is okay! Hugs to you and your brother!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear everyone involved is ok! Extra hugs for sure!
ReplyDeleteAww, your poor brother. I'm glad everyone is okay!
ReplyDeleteBless his heart!! So scary, but so glad he is okay and that no one was seriously hurt. Enjoy the dinner with your family!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I'm so happy to hear that everyone was okay! Scary moments like that really make you pause and re-evaluate how you're living (or not living) your life! I know you'll wrap all of them in a big hug tonight!
ReplyDeleteThat's so scary, glad everyone came out ok! Dinner with everyone will be extra special!
ReplyDeleteSo SO glad Brandon is okay!
ReplyDeleteSo scary! I'm glad everyone is okay. Who goes 50 in a school zone?!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that he is ok friend. I know that had to be scary and not fun at all. Little moments like that are so surreal. I'm glad you got to have some family time and just hug your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is scary. I'm glad everyone is okay. It's easy to take things like family for granted, but we shouldn't. Things can go from good to bad so fast.
