Hi guys. Thanks so much for all your prayers - I know they made a difference! Evan is fine. He has a sprained neck, a gashed-up knee, and a lot of bruises, but other than that he's totally fine. Basically what happened is this: a guy in a Volvo shot across six lanes of traffic and came up one lane short. He screeched to a halt in front of Evan, and since Evan had nowhere to go, he ran into him and then bounced into a gas station area, where he ran into another car and a gas pump. All of this was the other guy's fault even though he didn't do the actual hitting. The other guy isn't insured- of course :P- but Evan has uninsured motorist insurance, so his insurance company should take care of the situation. Also his medical bills, since Evan was put in an ambulance almost immediately because of his neck pain. (They don't mess around with neck pain.) Anyway, we have no intention of suing anyone. Hopefully things will go well and we won't have to do much.
I finally got a call from him at 10:30, left work, and went to the hospital to pick him up. I was so relieved to see him walking and okay. We went to the apartment so he could rest a while, and then spent the afternoon driving around getting things taken care of. His cell phone was crushed in the wreck, and he doesn't have a land line, so we went to pawn shops trying to find a similar phone he could plug his card into. He ended up ordering one off of Ebay, but it won't be here till tomorrow or Wednesday. Then we went to his friend's house to pick up the Thing. I guess I should be thankful that he has something else to drive, but it made me so sad to see him climbing in through the back again, three weeks after we thought he was finished with crummy vehicles. I know God has a purpose in all this, but I can't help but feel a little futile. What was the point of buying that car? I guess we'll never know. There is good news, though...Evan's dad says that as a wedding present, he's going to help him get a good car or truck. As in, something reliable and semi-new, something that doesn't need hundreds of dollars (and hours) of repair work. I am so thankful for that.
Anyway, after all that we were both pretty bummed, so we went to my parents', and my dad took us and my brother to see The Bourne Supremacy. It was excellent. I think Bourne is the new Bond. :) Evan was hurting pretty bad after the movie, though. I had never really seen him sick or in pain before, and it was awful. I wanted to do something for him, but there wasn't much to do. So I prayed a lot. Thankfully, by the next day he was a lot better.
On Saturday, once we were sure Evan felt good enough to go out, we got a lot of things done. We finished our Target registry and did our Home Depot one in one shot. Then we booked our rehearsal dinner, which was a huge load off my mind. Also, last week we signed a DJ whom we all really liked. She recommended a more reasonable photographer (the one we've talked to is pretty expensive), so we're meeting with him on Wednesday. I have a good feeling about him. After that, the only really big thing we need to book is the florist. Woo hoo!
Sunday was a nice day. At church, the wife of one of our Sunday School leaders shared about their recent mission trip to Guatemala. It was very eye-opening. (Did you know Guatemalan children only go to school four hours a day?) I also got to talk to
admael between services. Her new haircolor is very cool. :) After church we went to lunch at Mozzarella's, which Evan and I enjoyed more than usual since we're cutting way back on our eating out. In the afternoon I took a refreshing walk, and later Ryan came over to eat spaghetti with us. I also made an apple pie for Evan- it's his favorite. It was much better than the last one. My cooking is improving! Yay!
So that's what I've been doing. Despite the drama, it ended up being a pretty nice weekend. Our time together was even better knowing how much worse the accident could have been. I can't wait to be married. 110 days! And tonight Kathy is coming over! I haven't seen her since her wedding. This is the longest we've been apart in...well, a long time. :) So I'm excited about hanging out with her. God is good.
