Jeremy's wreck

On Monday, June 9, Jeremy was on his way home from work when I asked him to stop by Kroger to pick up a couple of things. When he attempted to cross Goodman Road to head home, he was struck by a Hummer H3. The impact was so hard that our Camry was spun around 180 degrees and it was a total loss. We thank God that Jeremy wasn't hurt. He did hit his head and he was sore for a few days following the accident, but that was it.

The Camry was a third vehicle for us. We bought it from my Mom last January. Jeremy used it for road trips for work and driving to and from work a few days each week. He also has a small truck that he drives, but only one passenger can fit in it. In addition to our Altima, we felt that we needed another vehicle that all four of us could ride in. That way when Jeremy uses the Altima for road trips, the girls and I would have another car to use.

We were able to get a great deal on a 1999 Ford Expedition. A friend's parents were selling it so we knew that it had a good history and only 86,000 miles. It doesn't get the best gas mileage, but it will be a great third vehicle. We plan to use it for road trips since it is so roomy. And, I will drive it when Jeremy has to take the Altima out of town. Rachel loves it and since it is red like her Daddy's truck, she calls it "Mommy's truck".
