Slight delay!

OK, so I obviously didn't post my budget information when I said I was going to, but I do have a very reasonable excuse!

My ex took my fiance and I to eat some burgers yesterday, and when my fiance and I got back in the car and started to head back home we were involved in a fairly serious wreck. Another car turned in front of me at the last second and I didn't have enough time to stop, so we collided, almost head on, at about 45 mph. Luckily everyone involved seemed to have fairly minor, although painful, injuries.

Four out of the five of us went to the hospital. I just mostly had a lot of soreness and a contousion on my knee that required four stitches. My fiancee has something wrong in his knee that he has to go back and see an orthopedic specialist for today, they think he may have broken a ligament or something. We were very concerned he may have had internal bleeding where the seat belt went across his waist, but the first tests didn't show any, they are going to make sure again today with more tests. One passenger in the other car seemed to be fine although irrate with us even though the wreck wasn't our fault, she was screeming "you did this, why did you do this" (quite unsettling right after a wreck). The driver went to a different hospital but from what I understand she just had some bad knee problems. A seventeen year old passenger of the other car who rode in the ambulance with us was banged up pretty bad because although she had her seatbelt on, she was wearing the shoulder strap behind her back. She was having back pains but the x-rays showed no back injuries, it was just the overall soreness that we all had. Her face was cut very badly.

I can not describe how blessed I feel that my fiance and I were both wearing our seatbelt, our air bags deployed, all the nifty little safety features that the car dealer was telling me about when selling me the car worked just as he said they would... I know from seeing my crumpled up front end that this wreck could have been so much worse!!! I honestly think we could have died if it weren't for those safety features! I thank God for watching out for us the way he did!

I'm most thankful that I didn't have my daughter with me. I keep thinking what if and it's driving me crazy but I can't seem to stop it. They said the baby should be fine because I'm so early in my pregnancy the baby is still completly shielded by the pelvic bone. The number of blessings I have received in this horrible event are innummerable!

I will post back on budget stuff and such once I've pulled myself together a bit more!
