Close call


This thanksgiving weekend, our little Montoro family has moved life to the very top of our thankful list. A miracle just happened on our travels back home from Austin, in that our lives were spared. I don't think I have ever been so close to dying. We got side swiped by a large pickup. We spun twice around in 4 lanes of traffic and ended up off the road. We'd been reading the bible and I saw us get hit out of the corner of my eye. As we were spinning I was screaming to God asking him to save our lives. I can not believe we were not hit again. I just kept thinking I will never get to meet Chloe. Cars were swerving everywhere to miss us. Had a semi come we would have been crushed because for a moment we were facing traffic traveling over 70.  Also, If we had not had a big grassy spot between exits that we landed in we would be gone. Peter pointed out that we were right in between 2 barricades that would have ended our lives. The police got in touch with the other driver. He didn't even know he had hit us but his sister was in a vehicle behind him and called him to tell him he had just run a vehicle off the road. He called the police then to see if we were ok. After quickly exiting the car, doing several safety checks, and filing the police report it is amazing to me that we are back with only cosmetic damage to our vehicle.  Now we are back on the road in one piece with no one harmed and several hours of travels remaining.God is sooooooo merciful!! 
This cute face made the best of the situation by eating (of course).
