Where have we been???

This is our new baby, Sophie!! We rescued her from the Sooner Golden Retriever Rescue Foundation. I have been feeling guilty about leaving her after I get home from work, so I haven't been down to the RiverParks in awhile. Seems like the cold weather doesn't appeal to me much. Anyway, I'm slowly trying to get back on the running schedule again. I've been trying to get my runs in at the golf course across the street and in the neighborhood. Also, took Sophie a couple of time to Haikey Park, but after 2 miles she kinda poops out!
Hayley has been a busy girl too with Track season starting. She was nominated for Winter Sports Queen, but unfortunately the Basketball attendant won. Oh well, we're still proud of her. This is Hayley with her main squeeze, Blake. So everything was going great that day, after the ceremony I kissed her bye and headed home, when all of a sudden my cell rang. Hayley was crying so hard I could barely understand her. I finally heard "car wreck"!! I immediately turned around and went back. It seems this 16 year old girl who had had her license for a whole 2 weeks plowed into the back of Hayley's car as she was sitting at a light. The impact pushed Hayley into the car in front of her.

This is the 16 year olds car. Her airbags went off and she had 2 other people in the car. She told the cop her brakes failed. Yea, right. I'm thinking she was so busy talking that she didn't pay attention. Not sure how fast she was going, but Hayley's car had $5300.00 damages.

This is Hayley in the ER waiting to be seen. She was still on a adrenaline rush so I don't think the pain had set in yet. Her X-Ray was OK, but she has whiplash.

OK, after spending 3 1/2 hours in the ER, the pain finally kicked in. Thankfully she was not seriously hurt. Yes, she is back to running, but still having lots of neck pain. Anybody know any good Chiropractors or Orthopaedists????
SOOOOOOO, that's what's going on with us. Sorry to hear about some of ya'll's injuries. This has been a rough winter for some of you. Hope to see everyone soon now that the weather is nicer and daylight saving time is almost upon us. :)
