Well, Thursday day my mom and me went down to salt lake and picked up some new crafts at Wood Connection... Its like porn.
Then we stopped and picked up my WEDDING DRESS! ...I was so happy to finally bring it home! I had already picked up the hat, bracelet and brooch!
We ate at Costa Vida, one of our favorites...we printed off a couple pictures for the bridal shower this weekend.
After Kelly got home I drove over to his house and he helped me with one of my crafts its just letters for Nelson. I thought it would be something that we could have up year round and I did it in some basic colors. Kelly, actually did an AMAZING job. How many guys can you get to sit down and paint wood?! Well I sure can.
I went to leave later that night and my car wouldn't start... the starter was fine but it wasn't getting any gas to it.. So Kelly tried and tried starting it and he finally said you know what just take my truck! I have drove his truck several times I wasn't scared to take it and in fact I was very careful with it. I know its his baby even though he wouldn't admit to it. He does love it, which I don't blame him.
Early Friday morning, my mom and I ran into Riverdale to get some stuff at Joann's and Target. I drove Kelly's truck and thought it wasn't going to be a big deal. I tried to take back roads. Well on our way home we were coming down 5900 S. in Roy. When suddenly the van in front of me started to stop, I thought we were just slowing down until my mom yelled "BRAKE!" ...I hurried and slammed on the brakes. I didn't hit the van in front of me but I just looked out the rear view mirror to see what the guy behind me was going to do. He was also in a Ford F-350 truck. The next thing I heard was screeching brakes and then a little crunch. Kelly's truck was hit on the passenger side of the bed. Leaving the tail-lights broken, a bent bumper, tailgate was a little kinked and the side of the bed was bubbled over the tire well! After we were hit I instantly started crying. Not so much because I was hurt but I just had taken out my Fiancé's truck.
What had happened to cause the lady in front of me to slow down was that there was a pedestrian that was on the cross walk, he didn't have a flag with him nor was he going to stop so if she wouldn't of stopped. There was a chance that she could of hit him or I could of. The pedestrian normally has the right-of-way but at this time he shouldn't of been crossing the road at all for how many cars were there.
There was an off call paramedic who stopped to see if we were okay and he also called dispatch for us as we waited for a cop to come we saw two more people cross the road without a flag and they were not even paying attention it could of easily started another wreck...oh wait there already was one.
The pedestrian wasn't really all there he stopped and asked if we were okay but I don't think he even knew he was the reason that the accident started. ...Makes me angry. The pedestrian didn't stop and stay he just kept walking down the street.
Although, the guy behind me wasn't driving his truck just like I wasn't driving my own vehicle. He had dropped his car off at Ed Kenley and they had gave him a 'loner' which just happened to be a brand new Ford F-350 Diesel 2012. The same style as Kelly's just a different year. Although that truck was so new it wasn't even in the system for the cop to even look it up. Which started other problems because they don't stalk those cars with insurance and registration. Let alone how do you know which insurance it will go through? Ed Kenley's insurance or the guy who was driving it insurance? The cop was going to give me a citation because I didn't have my license he understood that it was my Fiancès truck and that he carries his insurance with him. Luckily my mom got a hold of Kelly and got all that information so we didn't have to try and get it to the cop later. Although lucky enough for me and the other guy neither of us got tickets.. the cops computer wasn't working. He was getting frustrated so he said he wasn't going to.
The interesting thing we learned is that cops don't find fault. They can't issue citations but they aren't the ones who blame anything... that is what the insurance companies do. Also we learned that I am not the best with trucks between the mailbox dent in my dad's truck and now kelly's truck. Kelly saw the truck later last night and he was okay with the fact. Obviously its not the best thing that could happen but he knew that it wasn't my fault and that it would all be worked through.
I was so scared all day that he was going to react really mean or something. Maybe because I am an emotional girl, but I just was frightened. Earlier this month we met with Kelly's Single Ward Bishop. He just wanted to give us counsel about marriage. He brought up a scenario that ..'maggie might come home with a dent in your truck and you can re-act one of two ways. You can say its okay I am glad your not hurt and I'll get it fixed.. Or you can be mad about the accident.' Kelly luckily acted the first way. We were very lucky to how it all happened and turned out. I just wonder had we been in my car or my mom's how much worse it would of been. We didn't feel much of an impact but you definitely would of with a truck that size if you were in a car.
What A Great FRIDAY right!??
On the bright side Marci took my bridals and they were AWESOME. A guy even let me sit on his Harley.. My dad was jealous and once we showed him the picture he said thats an Anniversary model that probably costed 26,000 bucks. WOAH. The guy was really nice and funny about it he drove it on to the curb and walked across the street trusting us with his bike. It was pretty dang awesome! :)
