Lots of happenings

So much has happened over the last two weeks and I am talking other things not Christmas. First, of all our shower decided to leak into our master bedroom so we had to tear out the old one and replace it. And as you may have already guessed this just is a hugh task. Lots of mess and lots of time especially when your husband is working lots of overtime. Well it is finally done! I think we can start using our new shower tomorrow when everything is dry. It looks really nice and will be really nice to have our shower back. Our new shower has a place to sit which should be cool. I will have to take a picture for you all to admire.

The next big happening was very scary. My oldest daughter Courtney was in a car accident. She drove home from BYU with her roommate Kristin so she would not have to drive home alone. Kristin lives in Arizona. Courtney was also going to help finish mixing the new Noteworthy album for a couple of days and then fly home. The Friday before Christmas her and Kristin were trying to make a left turn in one of those lame left turn things where you just have to wait until you can go no arrows. Well, the light turned yellow and the cars were slowing down so they decided they could go but at the sametime they decided to go a big truck decided to try and "make" the light before it turned red. Well, the big truck t-boned the little honda right on Courtneys side. Thankfully, the car had airbags which I am pretty saved Courtney from some serious injuries or maybe even death. The truck was going about 50 mph. Both girls are going to be fine. Kristin had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days because her brain was bleeding. She is home now recuperating and mostly just has some pretty bad headaches. Courtney was released the same day after lots of tests and even a catscan. Courtney is still really sore especially on her right side and has lots of dizzy spells. She also is very nervous in the car and likes to sit in the middle of back seat and sometimes she crys because of flashbacks. But hopefully, all this will pass and she will recover fully. I am sure they had angels watching over them and am very grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who watches over us. Things like this really make you think about how quickly life can change.

Courtney and Katie have to head back to Provo early because Noteworthy is opening on New Year's eve for Rockapella a pretty well known acapella group. They were on the show Carmen San Diego. I am very sad that they have to head back early but this will be a fun experience for them. Katie also moved into a new apartment and so she will have a chance to get everything organized before the new semester starts.

We had a very fun and blessed Christmas. A Christmas angel sent our family such an amazing gift (thank you so much whoever you are, we can't thank you enough for your kindness!). We spent lots of time with family, ate some delicious food and remembered our Savior. We even had a Happy Birthday Jesus cake. Hope you all also had an amazing holiday and that your New Year is filled with lots of happiness.
