A December to Remember

Last month we closed on our new house and I totaled my car. In the same day! I left work early, excited to meet Jacob at the closing. I was looking up directions on my phone while on the freeway and next thing I know my car is looking like this:

I am an idiot, of course, for looking at my phone while on the freeway. Amazingly, no one got hurt. So, friends, please don't use your phones while you drive. I work at a place where everyday I see people with serious injuries as the result of accidents, so I of all people should have no excuse for this. 

In this picture you can see the white truck in the background that I drifted into. I'm lucky I didn't end up completely under the truck. He ended up facing the wrong way in traffic after I hit him. No real harm to the truck, and we were the only two vehicles involved. 

Eventually I made it to the signing, and this little beauty became ours: 

She needs some work, but we are really happy with her!

Having a house is awesome. I know it's going to be a headache at times, but we are so ready to be done with renting. More pictures of the house to come. Thanks to Pinterest for helping me spend hours and hours deciding how to decorate. 

After all the above mentioned excitement, we enjoyed a quiet Christmas with my family in Provo. 

Here's to a very memorable, and very expensive, December.
