Is everyone just loving the snow as much as I am?! Well, Erik and I woke up this morning to about 6-7 new inches of snow. We both had class at 8:00 so we were in a hurry to get out the door. We got out to the cars, and both of them were buried in the snow, Erik dug the Maxima out, I got in and started to pull out of the drive-way, but of course, got stuck. After numerous attempts of gunning it out of my little ditch, it was no use, he had to save me.
We decided that I'd better just ride with him in the 4-runner. We drove along Harrison and the roads were pretty slick, but Erik has 4 wheel drive so we thought we'd be alright.
About a block away from Ben Lomand High School, a car, 2 cars ahead of us decided they wanted to flip a U-turn in the middle of a snow blizzard. The car in front of us swerved to a stop, and we tried to stop, but the road was too slick and we slid right into the back left side of the car.
Luckily we are both alright, and no one else was hurt. Except for the 4-runner.

The front right side was totally smashed in, breaking the headlight, and bending the fender into the tire, so we were immobile for about 2 1/2 hours. 
We also left with a hefty ticket for "following too close" it is $112 and to get the car fixed will probably be at least $500, which is how much our deductible is. 
Erik's mom came to the rescue and brought us a crow bar and Erik bent it out so that we could drive home. We made it home alive, and will not be leaving again until absolutely necessary. Hope everyone drives safe!

Oh Sammy, I heard about this.... I'm sorry. What a crappy situation, especially because it wasn't your fault and there was nothing Erik could do about it. Taylor had a similar thing happen to him in the Jimmy right before we met. Fortunately, no serious damage occurred so he didn't get it fixed, needless to say there is still a giant dent in his bumper (it looks just like the 4 runner minus the smashed in head light). Glad you guys are safe and sound
I am so sorry, that sucks so bad. I am glad you are ok and that the car isn't too bad. Good thing Erik was with you.
Sad!!! That sucks! Oh, and I love the song from Enchanted that you have playing on the blog!!!!
That sucks! I'm just glad that it wasn't a really bad accident! I had to drive to layton that day and it took me over an hour to get to work...it was awful! I'm just glad the roads are finally better.
