So...last week was a week Ryan and I never want to live again. It started out great because we got to visit our friends in Charleston and do a little landlord duty. Monday morning we needed to run some errands and visit my old offices, but on our way to pick up our stuff and the trailer we would be pulling home, we got in an accident. We were stopped at a red light when out of no where we heard this awful noise then BAM! We were hit so hard it pushed us through the intersection (thank goodness no one was coming the other way) and curled the frame and ripped the bolts from the bed of the truck. The EMS had to check us all for head and back injuries, all were minor, however, I am still having some pretty serious issues. What a blessing we were not more seriously hurt, Laralee's car seat did it's job. Too bad we have to replace it, it's only 5 mos old.
So, Ryan gets out of the truck to look at the damage. The trailer hitch and bumper were useless. How were we getting our trailer home?! It gets better, the driver that hit us was driving his girlfiriend's car and he didn't have proof of insurance. After two days of talking with our insurance and Ryan sitting at the girlfriend's house until she would speak with him, we got the ball rolling. They rented us a car while we thought that Ryan's truck was going to get fixed. Then more bad news...the truck was a total loss. So, with the help of Matt and Lee we found a place to rent a truck to pull the trailer home, to get us back to Georgia while we figure out what to do to replace Ryan's truck. By the way, this whole time we were camped out at our friend's, the Stubbs. Our 2 day stay turned into 7. Thanks to them for their kindness and understanding during our little crisis. We finally got home Friday, Ryan drove the Nissan and I drove the HUGE F-150 and trailer. I have never pulled a trailer before, wow was that an experience.
Here are some pictures of the trucks.
