I think I need to update you all about the last three days.

First of all I got my hair done. I'm blonde again and I love it. I didn't realize how much I missed it!

Then Mike and I went to sign a contract for "The New House". We didn't think we would get an answer for a few days, but the lady only stepped out of the room for about two minutes and then came back in to tell us that they will accept our offer. (holy cow!)

On Thursday morning we headed up to Keystone for Jake's birthday. Mike thought we needed to bring two cars to fit everything and everyone. I didn't want to drive but I gave in. We stopped to pick up the boys and they rode with me. I was relieved that I would have some company for the drive. Well, we ran into some morning traffic. The lady in front of me slammed on her brakes REALLY hard. I slammed on mine and swerved into the center lane to avoid the back of her SUV. I realized we were all OK. And then I realized that the front left side of my car clipped her bumper as we swerved. The "the rich mom car", as my sister calls it, has a pretty bad boo boo. I feel terrible for her. I AM really grateful that I had both of my hands on the wheel, that I wasn't on my phone or eating, that there wasn't much damage to the other woman's car, that I have insurance, and most of all that the boys were safe. It was pretty traumatic. I have never been in an accident before.

No we are all up in Keystone having a lovely time. I went snowboarding yesterday despite my traumatic car accident. I even drove the poor little damaged rich mom car all the way up. Thank goodness for the boys. They told me that I did a good job avoiding that car, and they played journey to cheer me up. Who would have thought 16 yr. old boys could be so amazing?

Can you believe all of that happened in the last 3 days? Me either. That's life, I guess.

Happy 16th Birthday Jake!!
