Slowly…

Well, 2 weeks is better than 2 months, haha. 

Here is an ever so SLIGHTLY (stressed, slightly) photo related story:

Last weekend we were ALMOST on our way to photograph a wedding.. running a bit late, hopped into the truck.. threw it into reverse, put the hammer down and then….

SLAM!!!!

I hit my wife’s car.  No.  I REALLY hit her car.  Wow, a fullsize truck can sure do damage. I destroyed a headlight, the hood, the grill, and punctured the radiator (please don’t fine me for leaking coolant!).  Then I looked at my truck.. oh yea, just a bent bumper and a little paint damage.  Not wanting to be any later, I hopped back into the truck and away we went to the wedding.   I was SO mad at myself.  It took me about 10-15 miles on our trip before I started thinking rationally and making plans on how we might deal with this issue.  I love Shawna.  All the while she remained calm, listened to me and tried not to rake the coals.

By the time we got to the wedding venue, we were pretty much ready to joke about it.  The bride and groom of this particular wedding were good friends, as well as many of the family and friends that attended the wedding, so we had a fun time relaying to story and joking about it with them. 

I called to file a claim, my first ever, on Monday, and my insurance company has been great about it.  We’re still working through the details, but right now it looks like I might have done so much damage to the car that it could be totaled.  Wow. 

So. Yeah. That’s what everyone will be making fun of me for, for the foreseeable future.  Enjoy.

How about a set of entirely unrelated pictures? Enjoy!
