...is the only word I can think of, but somehow it doesn't do justice to the gratitude we are feeling! We were on our way to the Real Salt Lake soccer game because we scored cheap tickets. We were just getting on the freeway and were going about 65. Phillip was driving and this guy tried to get in our lane. Phillip tried to avoid hitting him but there was another car so he moved back but that dumb guy was pushing us over again and it made us overcorrect. We spun and flew across 4 lanes of traffic where our front end hit the median and then flung around and hit my side of the car and we slid another 100 yards along the median. We couldn't breathe because of the airbags and I couldn't get my shoes on, but luckily we both were able to get out of the car. My glasses at some point flew off into the backseat {maybe because of the airbag}. We couldn't believe the distance we traveled without being smacked by another car, and the fact that we finally came to a stop on the shoulder against the median so we weren't blocking traffic. We had to be checked out by the firefighters and EMT's, but more than anything we're just bruised, and banged up. Sore feels like an understatement this morning! Phillip's back hurts {which is always a recurring thing due to all of his accidents}. My right arm is very sore and bruised because of hitting the median on my side. My neck and back are sore too. My left shoulder hurts because it was stuck in between the seat and center console {which totally bent}. And I knew my upper legs hurt but it wasn't until I got to take a shower that I saw all the bruises and welts which were from the airbag. Anyways. We said a prayer of gratitude at our first opportunity because we were able to walk away from a potentially BAD accident. My in-laws brought their camera {the one time I took mine out of my purse} and we got pictures after they had already moved the car and were putting it on the tow truck. We got a few of the skid marks across the highway and median, but we forgot to get some of the damage underneath.
