Accident Prone James

So, as many of you know James was in a really bad accident last Monday the 23rd. Thankfully, he was wearing his seatbelt, that was the major difference in the accident: he was, the girl that hit him wasnt. The girl that hit him was hopped up on drugs and had crossed over the center line as she was coming up over a hill so James didnt see her until she hit him, with no time to react except for "OH CRAP!" So the difference you ask? He got off with a broken jaw on both sides, punctured lung which has healed, a bruised intestine, stitches on his right knee and on his left ear, a broken toe and a concusion. Her: in a coma on breathing tubes. The difference in wearing your seatbelt has an amazing difference and I am so grateful he has always been faithful in wearing it. I am also grateful he wasnt riding his motorcycle, God made it rain that day I am convinced so he wouldnt be on it. So he was in the hospital for 2 nights which means no sleep for 2 nights. We both were grateful to be back home on wednesday and to finally get some sleep. He lucked out from having to get his jaw wired shut. The dentist said as long as he is good about a soft diet (which he has been) he should be able to get away without having to have it wired. He goes in again this week to make sure its healing and doing good. He goes back into see his doctor next week to see how hes doing and hopefully get checked off for him to go back to work. James isnt the type of person to be at home and do nothing, so its been hard for him to not be at work. But atleast he will be on vacation with me next week when Tinas here. Hopefully we wont get sick of eachother and go crazy! So far, he hasnt been the best patient, I am now seeing why women bear the children and not the men:) But I do feel for him, I feel so guilty when were out and hes eating a bowl of soup and I have a nice big sandwich! But then again, that was me not too long ago with my wisdom teeth so I dont feel so bad:)

Well, thats it for now. Thank you all for your prayers, we have indeed felt them.

Love you all.

Wisdom Teeth

As many of you know I got my wisdom teeth out April 25th. Note: All four! It wasnt as bad as a lot of people told it was probably going to be, thankfully. But I was still really sore for several days afterward and the drugs they give you for the pain made me feel so weird! Well, I thought I would share the picture James took of me right after the surgery, its hilarious! Supposedly I told James to take the picture, but I of course dont remember that. All I remember is James laughing at me and not knowing why! After seeing the picture and him telling me what i was doing I realize why:) Good times.

Wedding Pictures & Update

The whole reason I decided to set up this whole blogging thing is for family and friends to keep up with us and see how were doing. Its hard keeping in touch with family and friends, and any way to make that easier I will take advantage of! I feel horrible that we still havent sent out any wedding pictures, this July will be 2 years! But, better late than never, right?:) So, here you go. Some long awaited photos.


James and I are doing good. Were working on getting the house done, which for the most part it is, its just all those finishing touches. No, we still do not have it listed as of yet. But we are getting there. The way things are looking, we are probably not going to make it out west this fall. We dont see how it will be possible to sell and move in a matter of 2 months. James called the school and they told him as long as he takes one online class/part time he can keep his track for next fall. So If worse comes to worse we will just do that. Till then, we will continue working hard on getting the house sold. We actually have a couple people that are interested. James sister would love to buy it now, but her husband has a year of school left in Arkansas so theyre living half way between here and there. They want us to rent it out for a year so they can buy it when the contract is up, but were not so sure about that. Then theres James best friend Jareds sister and husband who would love to buy it, but they would have to sell theyre house which they paid too much for, so who knows. We shall see.

All I know is we are so looking forward to the family reunion next summer! No matter where it is, we are coming with bells ringing. Its hard to think by then it will have been 3 years since seeing everyone. 3 years! Way too long if you ask me. I just hope all those little ones will remember me by then!

Well, I suppose that is it for now. I will eventually get some pictures up here of the house. Ive been fighting the dust in it for a while, with all the remodeling its just been non stop! Ive been going crazy trying to get rid of it, but now that the majority of the remodeling is done, I can finally keep it clean, so once we get all the power tools out and the rest of the lighting hung, I will for sure be taking some pictures. Till then, know that I love you all dearly and miss you. Muah!
