A Total Loss

We were on our way to Texas, but took a little detour in Denver. At around midnight on the 20th a tire (and wheel) fell off a truck in front of us, and because it was so dark, we didn't see it until it was too late. We hit it going around 75 mph and hit another truck to the left of us. Luckily, nobody was hurt- except the Jeep. The Jeep stayed in Denver and we kept going to Texas in a rental. We found out a couple of days later that the Jeep was a "total loss" and we would be leaving it in Denver for it's final resting place. The person who caused the accident never stopped, and so it was considered a hit and run. We had a great time in Texas (more pictures to follow soon)...a little shaken up, but still a healthy and happy family.



You can see some of the fluid from the engine leaked on the concrete.

That totally stinks! But on the brighter side...did your visit to Denver make you want to move here?

Hey there, Jenae. I randomly came across your blog and thought I'd say hello. I can't believe you have two kids now. It looks like you, Brett, and the kids are happy and well. Anyway, take care.
