176.

alright, i told you i had a good excuse for missing some pictures.

sunday night we had a sort of talent show/Christmas party at our church.

ben and i were on our way home at about 10:30 and ben was driving.

apparently he just dozed off for a second and the car started going into the ditch.

i yelled at him and grabbed the wheel which sent us flying toward the opposite ditch.

bad idea.

we went up the embankment, went airborne and rolled once or twice into an open field.

the whole thing felt like a dream and i only remember closing my eyes and screaming through the whole thing, so i'm not exactly sure what happened.

when i opened my eyes we were thankfully right-side-up, ben had blood running down the side of his face, my left shoe was gone and my phone was nowhere to be found.

none of our doors would open, but the windshield was gone, so we climbed out of the car to go get help.

we realized we were about 3/4 of a mile up the road from where some friends of our live, so we walked to their house and got them out of bed.

we didn't know the extent ben's injuries so the ambulance came and took him to the ER where they did a CT scan.

everything checked out fine and they released him around 2am.

i only have a few scrapes and bruises and a very, very sore neck.

we are so very grateful that things didn't turn out worse!

God is so good!

He even protected our guitars that were in the trunk and He allowed my phone to be recovered too!

i feel drained, but blessed. :)
