thats one way to move

In a bizarre way, we've started our move to the new house

Today was the walkthrough at our house and my parents came up last night so they could see it. On the way there we got rear-ended! We had just stopped at a red light and heard screeching tires and then a jolt as the car behind rammed into us, pushing us into the car in front of us. ugh....thankfully no one was hurt. We had to pull over and call 911 -- I am pretty sure that's the first time I've ever called 911. We had to wait for the police to do a police report, and let our realtor know we were going to be late. Good thing she was there since I didn't know the builder's phone number. They were able to wait for us, so we didn't have to reschedule, and the house looks good! Our builder showed us everything at the house (shut-off valves, etc.) and we were able to put tape any place that touch-up paint is needed.

The truck was damaged in the back - the bumper is banged up, you have to move it to open/close the lift gate, and worst of all the exhaust pipe was smashed in, causing it to not have much power, and also make awful sounds any time we try to accelerate. Rather than getting on the highway in it (not safe), we thought it would be best to put it in the shop on that side of town and get a rental car until its fixed. so, we put it in the shop, got some food at Burger King since we were starving, and drove home in a pontiac vibe, quite a different ride. my poor parents, didn't quite know what sort of excitement they were in for when they decided to ride with us to see the new house.

The adrenaline was pumping when we got hit, I couldn't quit shaking for quite a while....

Is it asking too much to have a normal day sometime soon??
