Whiplashed!

We left to go to my aunt's house on Monday(24th) in Sparks, N.V., for Thanksgiving and on Tuesday( on our way back home from shopping), we got in a car accident! Ugh!!! We were on our way home going straight( no stop sign) and this girl pulled out in front of us trying to turn left. My aunt was so upset because she had bought her car only a month ago. I was the passenger and the other party hit us on my side. When we got hit, the air bag did not deploy. I guess it was because it was not head on. My side of the door wouldn't open so I had to get out from the driver side. My neck is sore, I have a really bad lower back ache, and I have a bruise on my upper right chest from the seat belt. It bothered me so bad that I had to make a trip to the Chiropractor today. The X-rays showed that I had some work to be done on left side of my neck and my lower spinal cord. This week started rough, but hopefully the rest will be good. Even though this car accident wasn't major, it reminded me of the one I was in 13 years ago and I am so thankful that I wasn't seriously injured. Here are couple pictures from the accident:

The car behind the SUV was the girl that was trying to turn left, but obviously couldn't make it on time...
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I am so grateful for many things. I have been blessed and I am so thankful for them all. There are many, but here are 10 things I am grateful for...

1. Heavenly Father
2. The Gospel to know that Families are Forever!
3. My Husband
4. My Daughter
5. My Friends
6. My Siblings
7. Our Home( Apt.=) )- We will buy a house someday
8 My trials
9. Our extended families
10. Our Safety- Our place is really getting ghetto! We would like to move ASAP=)
