Audrea's Car Accident

Well, again Mom has put me on the task of updating the blog on what happening on the east coast. So here's our recent big event! I (that's me, Audrea) go to the University of Central Florida which is about an hour from our house, so i drive there five days a week. So on Oct 5, I was driving to school same as always, except it was an icky rainy morning. I was about 15 minutes from school on a particularly narror road. I had edged over to the side of the road as always because i was a bit uncomfortable with how close i was to oncoming traffic. At the point of the road i was on there was a good 6 in drop off the side of the road. There was absolutely no shoulder, so when my passanger side front tire fell of the edge of the road there was no way for my little Honda to get back up. Well as if that wasnt bad enough my tire blew and i was set sliding out of control on wet grass right into a utility pole. It's hard to explain exactly what happened after i hit the pole, but if you can image the front bumper somehow got wrapped around the pole and the back end of my car was thrown up from the force of the hit and dropped back down about 10 feet away. the air bags deployed and boy do those things hurt! But anyways, i got out unscathed, which is a blessing based on what happened. The nicest elderly man who witnessed the accident stopped and stayed with me until Dad was able to get there and the police had everything worked out. He was a blessing. We did go to the ER after just to make sure everything was ok, i mean i did have whiplash which is no fun, but it could have been worse. The car was deemed a total loss. Now, 3 weeks later we are battling a claim with orange county roads for the damge. right now they are claiming they are not liable for the damage to my car because there was no road damage when they investigated. What their records fail to show was that we called in a report to them the day of the accident and the damage was fixed on the next working day. Thankfully, my cell phone takes great pictures and so we were able to document all of the damage to the car at the scene and also the road damage that caused the accident. But we keep reminding ourselves that i was very blessed that day and so we take each new difficulty as it comes and remeber it could be worse.

Well, thats about it on this story, we will try to keep ya'll a little more updated on our happenings in Florida. We love you all.

Orton Family Halloween Thingy

Hey everybody,

Mom wanted me to post picture of our Halloween get together. Lyndsey had the idea to get together and do something for Halloween and since we couldn't be there for the Haupt party we decided to carve pumpkins too! Basically we all just got together tonight and had dinner and carved pumpkins. Mom entertained us with her kindergarten Halloween music and we all just talked, laughed, and joked while enjoying each others company. It was a ncie change to being stressed out and we really haven't had many chances to spend time together lately. But as for the pumpkins, the artists are as follows: Samual and the Grim Reaper, Lyndsey and Brad with the big witch, Uncle Ken and Aunt Vonnie with the funny jack-o-lantern, and Audrea (me) with the witch on a broomstick. It was tons of fun and we hope everyone had fun at the Haupt Party.

Miss ya'll and Love ya,

The Orton Klan
