On Friday, Harry came home from work and announced that he won Panthers tickets for the first preseason game of the 2012 season against the Houston Texans. The seats were great and we were excited to get out for some adult time. Harry's parents came to watch little A and we were off for a night on the town.
The game wasn't that great (Panthers lost) but we had a really nice time. We got to sit near people Harry knew from work and we were on the 6th row!
We left after the 3rd quarter and headed to the car. We got in and as we started to pull away we heard a deafening explosion in the rear of the car. We turned around to see most of our back window missing. I went to talk to the traffic police who told me to call 911 to get an officer to write a police report (I felt weird calling 911 for a broken window but I was following directions). We waited for over an hour for the police to show up which gave us plenty of time to inspect what happened. As it turns out, somebody wrapped a parking cable around our rear window wiper (which is attached to the window) and when we pulled away it pulled the window out. Harry finally chased down a wonderful police officer and he told us that we could file a police report over the phone. After he very kindly knocked out the rest of our window so it wouldn't explode on the highway, we were off for home.
Harry's dad had been kind enough to clean out 1/2 of our garage so we could park inside (it had been raining last night, too). We already have 1 quote to get it fixed and have another call in for a quote tomorrow. Hopefully with help from our insurance it won't be too much.
Thanks to Harry's parents for staying late with Alaina and for their help tidying up our garage!
