We finally heard back about the house we put an offer on. Apparently they now have 7 more offers on the table and the bank has decided to accept the "highest and best offer", so it has essentially become another silent auction. We turned in our new offer yesterday and hope for the best.

Last night we were invited over for dinner at a friend's house. They are really cute family from our student married ward in Provo who moved to Georgia two years ago. They live in Kennesaw and on our drive (1 hour) out there we witnessed our first major accident. We were driving on the main free way and a driver in a big red truck (not a semi) holding a cigarette in one hand and a cellphone in the other was tailgating us. He then flew passed us and weaved in and out of traffic. Luckily Brad continued to watch him because just up ahead he lost control and t-boned into the cement median directly ahead of us. The momentum sent him back across all the lanes and onto the shoulder of the opposite side of the freeway. It was a miracle that no one else smashed into him and it was a miracle that we didn't smash into him. Once his truck came to a stop, the driver climbed out so he was obviously okay and another truck pulled off to help him. His truck wasn't okay though. The engine was smashed to bits and debris covered the lanes.

Not too long after, we passed another major accident where a taxi driver cut off a semi truck and was pulverized in the rear. Based on the large presence of emergency vehicles, someone in that accident definitely got hurt.

Thankfully, we reached our friends' house safely and had a wonderful time. Chloe had fun playing with their 4-year-old son and I got to snuggle with their 2-month-old baby.
