saturday errands turn into a day at the er

Saturday started out as any other...getting up and ready to run to the grocery store, pick up a present for my nephew's first year birthday party, grab lunch, etc and during our running around Michelle and I got rear ended.
Michelle's truck was stopped back behind the white line at a red light (where the car that hit us is sitting) and the saturn slammed into us pushing us right into the intersection. The force was so great that the hat Michelle was wearing came right off her head!
The truck took the damage pretty well and yes that is the bumper from the other car attached to the truck's bumper.
His car wasn't so lucky! We went up to the hospital just to make sure we were ok. Michelle took a lot of the force and was put in a neck brace for precautions. We missed the birthday party (sorry Dylan!), and we cancelled the rest of our errands. We stopped at Denice's for hugs and food (thanks Denice!) and then went home to rest. Plans can change in a flash!

Oh man, that's a bad Saturday of running errands! Glad it wasn't any worse than it was. Nice job on getting out and taking pictures at the scene. They'll come in handy when the case goes to court!!
