Mailbox Saga

What's worse than waking up to an alarm when you're tired? Waking up to your mailbox being smashed at 6:30 in the morning. Yep, it was crazy.... Stu and I were laying peacefully in our bed when we heard the loudest crash outside our window. It sounded like a dump truck dropping a load of cement. We looked outside and saw that a white pickup truck had slid on the ice and smashed right into our beautiful red brick mailbox. Stu was worried that the guy was going to pull away so he ran out there full speed .... in nothing but his underwear .... in the snow! It was awesome. :) I called the cops and they guy was very cooperative. It only put a very small dent in the guys truck. We have a couple different companies coming to bid it today so it should be fixed soon. Oh, and the mail man has been very helpful in bringing our mail up to the front door. :) Here are a few pictures of the whole saga.

The center is full of cement so the guys weren't able to stand it upright.
