| Well, I'm back. And since that entry was a little anger-filled, I'll try to make this one a tad more upbeat.
We are all ok. Thank 'god'... All 9 of us are so lucky to be here today. I don't even want to think about how much worse the wreck could've been. I am so thankful to be sitting here right now and to be able to have Lauren to go through all this crap with. And to think I wasn't going to go that night... This may sound weird, but I'm glad I went. I'm glad I was there, you know... like, I can't imagine how I would've felt if I would've stayed home and gotten the call that Lauren and Brooke were in an accident and I was supposed to be there. It's confusing... but I'm just glad Lauren and I were in it together and we can be there for each other when everyone else that was involved lives so far away. I can't even remember half of the stuff that happened. When something this dramatic happens, you're just in a state of shock. My adrenaline was running and I didn't even realize I was hurt. I just wanted everyone to be ok. You just don't think in situations like these until you calm down and realize the extent of what has happened. It's times like these that make you realize what you have and what you could've lost. It's times like this that change your whole outlook on your future... and your past. I'm so thankful... I can't even put into words how happy I am that everyone is ok... I mean, there were a few that had some pretty serious injuries, but it could've been so much worse. Ahhh, I keep repeating myself. Anyway, we're lucky.... very lucky. This experience has made me realize quite a bit. I don't know where I would be without my friends and family. Before, I just took them for granted. Now, I realize that I need them in my life... more than anything. So thank you to everyone that's been there for me and Lauren in the past week. And to those of you that spread the rumors, talked behind our backs, and used us for our story--- Screw off. We don't need people like you in our lives. We have enough great people... why need fake ones?!
So the knee is ok says the Doctor. He thinks it's just deeply bruised and it's going to be sore for quite awhile. Found out Monday I have a broken rib... It's like my 2nd rib and she said that's really hard to break. Kinda scary... I don't even know where I landed in the vehicle or what happened to make it break. Anyway, I still have a concussion and I tend to get dizzy very easily. Like just a sudden movement of my head makes me wanna go puke or pass out. It's crazy... That'll be over soon hopefully. Still sore... but it's getting better. You should see Lauren and I walking down the halls... We're like old ladies. It's great. I took off the thumb splint because it was annoying... and I really don't think it was helping a fracture. Umm, I still have a black eye. It's pretty badass actually. And I broke some blood vessels in my eyeball, so I have a fairly large red spot on my eye. It's gross... people can't even look me in the eye anymore... :) I love walking into a large crowd and watching everyone just stare and talk about Lauren and I. Yes, we were involved in a wreck... No, you don't need to talk about us. We made a mistake, ok. We know this. It's over and done with, so I'd love for stupid people in the community to stop talking about us. Thanks.
Ummm, let's see... I'm grounded for approximately 6 years. So yea... umm, I'll be at home if ya need me. Just kidding... maybe 6 months though. Who knows. Lauren and I had to talk to Mr. Fenn and Mr. Wax today about our school punishment. She'll miss about 3 track meets and I'll miss about 3 soccer games. I'll take the punishment. I know I made a mistake. We all did. And we've all paid for it and we'll continue to pay for it. I'm just sick of lectures... As if we don't know what we did wrong... people continue to grill us on the mistakes we made and how they hope we won't make them in the future. Well, no crap.
So anyway, Lauren's pictures finally showed up on my computer so I'm going to steal them.
Lauren and Brooke... They are the cutest. Sorry about your coat Lauren :(
(ok, so this might not show up... but if it does this is...) Emily, Me, Lauren, and Brooke. Despite everything that happened prior to this picture, we had fun. Met some awesome people-- especially Emily!! I'm pretty sure her and Lauren are twins. No doubt about it...
Well, I'm gonna go get ready to get stared at by old people at the game and the Underwood crowd due to the black eye. Then I'll be home after that... so call the cell if you need me.
Henderson out! |
