Jake is fine...
... the car is not. Jake drove off this morning like any other morning except before he came to the end of our street and onto the main road his car exploded into flames. Very scary!! I'm so relieved that he wasn't hurt. We were really hoping our little car with 175,000 miles would get us through the next 18 months. Obviously and unfortunately the car is a total loss. On the brighter side, the golf gear seems only to have some smoke damage. I'm sure Jake wishes it were a total loss so he could get some new clubs. I'm still feeling unsettled about the whole thing, but again I'm so thankful that Jake is safe.
Hope your day gets off to a better start than ours did.

Wow...all I can say is wow. I think my heart stopped when you told me to look at your blog. I am so thankful that Jake is ok. Today is truly a day to count your blessings. Even though one of your blessings is gone now, the one that really matters is still there! Love you and give Jake my love too.
Felt the heat all the way in Walnut Creek. Incredible.
OH MY GOSH! Shelley that is so scary. I'm so glad that no one was hurt. Those pictures are unreal!
Wow! That is so scary. I can't believe there is nothing left of the seat Jake was sitting in. I'm glad he's safe and made it out uninjured!
Wow. And I thought I was having a rough day! Glad Jake is ok, sorry to hear the car is a loss. I would definately be scrapping those pictures if it was me. Have a good and SAFE weekend! :)
Unbelievable. I'm glad everyone is okay. It's like something out of an action movie!
Oh my word! Praise the Lord he is okay! So thankful for that Shelly!! How scary!
Oh my gosh Shelley! I mean, really and truly, my jaw is still to the floor. I praise God that he is safe and unharmed. It just seems so unreal. I'm sure you are counting your blessings.
Thank heavens you and the kids weren't in there as well.. and thank heavens HE is okay. Cars are replaceable, loved ones are not.
I'll be saying a little thank you prayer for you guys tonight.

You weren't kidding when you said the car was a total loss!

Sheesh!! Scary, glad he's okay...my daughter was looking at the pics and was really intrigued...she was worried someone was hurt..I assured her no one was~!
Oh wow, I bet that was so scary, I would've like passed out from a panic attack or something! SO glad that everyone is ok though!
I am so glad Jake it okay. That is unbeliveable. Not much left of that car is there?!!
Um....yikes! Glad he's okay and that his golf gear survived. Ha ha!
Thanks for all your kind concern. I hit a new all time high for blog views on Friday. I guess you all couldn't get enough :)We're still waiting on details from the insurance company, but I'm sure things will work out.
omgosh...count your blessing and l am so thankful that everyone is okay...wow...speechless.
That is unbelieveable-- Either Jake has superpowers, or heaven was especially watchful over him...so glad he's all right. ALso wanted you to know that I love Hannah's hair-- very fun change.
OH MY GOSH, SHELLEY
HOW HORRIFYING
I have a bad taste in my mouth right now with fires (go check out my blog and you'll see why)
I am so glad noone was hurt in your carfire - that's just so so scary.
Best of luck.
I just thought I would bump you over 20 comments(WOW!). Seriously I am so glad that you are all ok. Last night on Kalani's way home from work he hit a pot hole and something broke loose from under the Jetta. I think after your experience, the age of our car, and last night's incident we are going car shopping this weekend.
