Hit and Run part II...

I brought the girls to the doctor to get them checked out this week to make sure they weren't injured in the accident. The doctor was talking to Katy while she was checking her out and this was part of their conversation:

Doctor: Your mommy will always keep you safe.

Katy: (With a determined look in her eye) No, Heavenly Father keeps me safe.

The doctor thought that was sooo adorable! The girls are injury free, but just as an update the Sheriff found the guy the car was registered to and it turns out that his brother was driving. Apparently the brother told the sheriff that I took off so that's why he didn't stop. Good thing I have two witnesses. He did more than not stop, he sped off! The bad news is that after googling the names of the guy who hit me and the name of the owner of the car I found out that the owner of the car is a sheriff in the same office that is investigating my accident! If you ask me the whole thing is very sketchy. I'm a little concerned about this guy getting off. First of all the sheriff took over a half an hour to get to the scene of the accident. Secondly, he only took the statement of one of the witnesses after I repeatedly told him that the lady in the post office saw the whole thing too. Third, the sheriff investigating the case gave me the name of the owner of the vehicle, but never told me that he worked in his office - I found that out on my own. Actually, it took several days before anybody at the sheriff's office would confirm that. Anyway, I hope I'm not venting too much. I really feel blessed that we're all okay and that there were witnesses that actually stopped.

Kids say the cutest things.

I am sorry that you have to go through all of this. Hopefully it works out well in the end.

What a bummer! Sounds totally fishy. I hope that he gets what he deserves that punk! I love that Katy knows who watches over her.

Katy is adorable!! I love her! Umm I'm making a huge deal over this if it doesn't get resolved. I will go to the paper and the news and not shut up till someone does something.

What a rat! I'm glad you're ok, but i'd be fuming, too, about someone getting away with that - whether they're connected to the sheriff or not! law enforcement can be so sketchy sometimes... just ask Dan! He always has a good rant ready! Miss you!

That is the sweetest thing!

I'm glad they caught the guy, but I'd be down there demanding that they speed up the process & let them know you're onto them!
