That’s what you’ll see now if you look at the rear bumper of Amber’s Aura. I went to Subway to pick up some food for dinner. I ordered and paid then walked out the door just in time to see the guy who had been in front of me in line backing his SUV straight into the car. I swear if I hadn’t been there yelling at him he would have just driven away.
I called the police and basically learned it would be worthless for them to come out unless there was more significant damage. So we swapped insurance information and I drove home wishing Quizno’s had been open (the first choice for dinner). Obviously this was totally his fault since our car was stationary in a parking space and I wasn’t even in it. Looking back on it, though, I realized I really should have checked around to see if anyone saw what happened so they could be listed as a witness for the claim. Even though it was clearly his fault, I don’t want to get stuck paying the $500 deductible. I already called State Farm and gave them all the info for our claim, so now I get to sit back and wait for our rep to call to figure out what happens next.
Hello All! For those of you who haven’t met me, I’m Amber (Carson’s wife)! Carson has been trying to talk me into starting to blog, so I figure I’ll give it a shot I work for a prominent daycare center (1-2 year old room) here in Madison and yesterday was the first day for our summer program. It is always stressful and physically draining when you have an entire classroom of new kiddo’s who have never been away from home for more than a couple of hours or slept an entire night in their own bed. On a bright side, this week we got the shingles on our roof… Well, they are on the roof in a pile, not spread out yet. But they did pour our garage floor and our front porch! Thanks for listening (or reading)! B-Bye!
Well, I finally finished putting together the first set of video clips on the house. I used iMovie ‘06 on the iMac and after a few setbacks, finally finished a 9 minute video. I’m pretty happy with it on the iMac, but I’m less than impressed with what it looks like on YouTube. I’m still playing with the export settings to find the best results and I think next time I will use a more readable font or at least make it larger. If you know of other (free) video sites that would offer better quality, let me know. As of today, the house has most of the first floor walls framed out, but those clips aren’t ready yet. Enjoy!
