the Curse of February

Historically speaking February has been a bad month for our family. Cassie always gets tired of being cooped up all winter and she gets the urge to make major purchases. For instance, in Feb 2002 she decided we needed to buy a house ($$$$$). In Feb of 2003 she decided that we needed a new car ($$$$). Well this Feb I had hoped that this trend would be tempered because we have no $$$$ (Georgetown tuition is $$$$$$$$$$$). Anyway, she is an amazing woman that can always find a way to get what she wants. I guess she figured if we needed something then we would have no choice but to buy it. Apparently she wanted a different car.


On her way to the doctor's office on Friday morning Cassie took matters into her own hands in her quest for a different car. She hit the rear side panel of a small truck as she was going through this intersection. Both drivers say they had the green light and there were two witnesses, one for each side that agree with the drivers. Luckily, no one was injured. Cassie has some bruising, on her abdomen, from the seatbelt, her forearm and a little whiplash. We took her to the doctor and she was checked out but he sent us to the hospital just in case and they ended up admitting her because she was having some minor contractions. (side note: I really don't like being at the hospital unless I am getting paid for it)


Papa always said if you're gonna do something, do it right. She done did good.

In all seriousness Cassie is doing fine. She is still a little sore and she stayed home from work today to rest and recover. The baby is fine and after 24 hrs in the hospital her contractions went away. We had another ultrasound and we decided to find out what we were having (any bets?). Well, it must be a girl because it wouldn't cooperate and so we still don't know. Coming soon, "The quest for a new car"

Sorry to hear about the ol' Passat. :( Did you want your other car back? I haven't done anything with it yet, though we were planning on it with some tax refund money if I can ever get them done.
Tell Cassie we're glad she wasn't hurt worse than she was. Our thoughts and prayers are with her.
