The reason I'm happy it rained today...

Yesterday was one of those marriage bonding moments that you look back in 40 years and say "Hey, honey...do you remember that time in our first apartment that you knocked off 3 glasses onto your foot and had my uncle (whose a vet) give you stitches?"

So yesterday morning we were having a peaceful Sunday morning when I heard this huge crash! I hadn't done the dishes in a while and so they were piled on the counter and Mike knocked over the glasses and one landed right on his foot and slashed it pretty good.

After getting it cleaned up he decided to go to his meetings (late) and when he got home we got some bandages to pull it together and headed off to church. He barely made it through sacrament meeting, so we headed home.

We decided the best alternative to going to the E.R. was to call my uncle and see what he would suggest. He kindly offered his services, so off we went. Mike got 4 stitches in the ball of his left foot. :) We were very fortunate to have my uncle around and also very fortunate that it wasn't worse - three glasses is a lot of glass.

Needless to say, I'm sure glad he's ok. I was a little nervous that he would want to wear flip flops (according to him it's flip flop weather unless it's rainy or snowy) and that his cut would get dirty. Hence the title...
Here he is eating so that he wouldn't pass out. :)

Oh and I don't usually feed my husband whole bottles of Sierra Mist, it was just the tail end of the bottle and I wasn't too keen on dirtying anymore glasses that might end up on the counter.

And here is his little set up: laptop, chips, soda, church calling material, and pillows for elevation. What more could he ask for?

p.s. Sorry there's no pictures of the actual cut - I didn't want to gross anyone out.

A quick picnic

The other day we got to take a quick break during one of our busy day's and go on a picnic up to 2nd dam. It was really fun to get away from the stress for an hour and enjoy some time together.
I was obsessed with wading in the water, but when I got in this happened...

It was SO cold! That's my "Please hurry and take the picture before I die" face.
This was as close as Mike got to wading...he took a picture to prove he did touch the freezing water.

:)

Only one chick digs him now...

p.s. Yes, I am wearing pearls with my P.J's. :)

Update #2

I keep putting off updating my blog because I want to put pictures up, but the only time I ever get to update my blog is when I'm at work where I don't have access to my pictures. :) So instead here's just another update.
School may kill me. I didn't think spending just 3 days out of the week in a classroom would wear me out, but apparently I'm just a wuss. However, to my credit it is a classroom of 25 second graders and I have spent the past few years mentally preparing for older grades. I'm a much bigger fan of dealing with attitude than dealing with running noses. However, I have loved finally being in a classroom for my school instead of sitting in a class listening to people tell us what to expect. It's awesome that I get all this hands on experience. On top of those three full days I am working 20+ hours a week and 11 hours (not credits), so needless to say I'm cutting it close.
Mike is doing great. He's working hard on his classes and should get some pretty great grades if he keeps up the good work. He's wonderful to help around the house, especially considering most of my days are 11-12 hour days. Yesterday I came home from school and all our laundry was on the bed and it was CLEAN! It made me extra happy. Another thing that he has picked up on is that it makes me really happy when he walks me to work because he knows how much I hate walking by myself up to campus at 6:30 A.M. He's gotten up and walked with me a few times and it definitely makes my day! What a sweet hubby!
That's pretty much all from us - I'm working 8 hours tomorrow so maybe I can bring a few pictures on my flash drive and get them up. I'll do my best.
