First's

      In life, there are a lot of first's. First car, first day at college, first kid, first love. But not all the firsts are happy ones. First breakup, first debut, first fight, first loss. I believe life give you good and bad ones to have a balance in the world. I'm definitely a believer in that life gives you the bad so you can enjoy the good. If your lucky sometimes the bad wont even be that bad. I had one of those experiences late last night.
 
     Now AJ (My GF) has never had a licence in her life and she is the same age as me. I have been driving for 4 years now. Unfortunately her family went through some struggles and didn't have a car for her to practice with when she became of age. So recently i have been slowly teaching her how to drive so that she can get her licence some day. I gotta say for someone who has never really driven before, she does pretty well. So what went wrong?? Well last night we were both scheduled to close at work (we work at the same place). So it was about midnight when this happened. She was able to get off the clock a little earlier then me, so of course she took the car keys and went to take her opportunity to drive home. When i finally got out, she had brought the car around to the front but she was sitting in the passenger seat. Out of confusion i got in the car and asked what happened. She told me she scraped someones car, backing out of the parking lot. She said he immediately asked for our insurance and took a picture of it. After i settled her down we went and looked at the damage ourselves. There was our paint there for sure, but luckily no dents. She apologized again and as we walked away i noticed that it was our coworker friends husband. She hasn't been to work in a while because she was having a baby, so AJ didn't recognize him. We got home and she was still all distressed. So i texted our friend and explained the situation and apologizing to her. We didn't get a text till the next morning (this morning), saying that she was not mad at us at all. The paint wiped away easy and there was only a little scratch. She had also told us that her father works on the body of cars so he will just buff it out for them. We were very relieved to hear that and that she said they were not going to claim.

      So that's the story of my first ever "car accident" ( even though it wasn't me). It could have been really bad but it wasn't, so I'm very thankful for that. That's all for now, thanks for reading.
