This past month seems like it has been ONE THING AFTER
ANOTHER!! First came all of the problems
with my teeth, next was a badly sprained ankle.
I thought I was in the clear after my teeth issues had subsided, but boy
was I wrong. Let me take you back to
what started off as an amazing weekend!
Will and I ventured to Hastings, NE for the annual Whoopers and Hoopers
Basketball Tournament. This was the
first time I was able to meet all of these guys {& their wives} that Will
always spoke so highly of. They were all
amazing. He truly has a great group of
friends that continue to play together every year. After an
exciting win Friday night, the team all went out for a delicious steak
dinner and drinks, all paid for by Dan The Man!
Thank you again Dan!! The next
morning was an early one, but the boys ended up getting done pretty early. It being St. Patty’s Day and all, we of course started drinking. But, only after
Will scored himself a free t-shirt from Taco Bell!
Only you Will, only you. From there the beer kept on flowin as did the
dance moves at the Slam Dome – Hasting’s pride and joy. That place had some of the BEST people
watching I have ever experienced. Dan
graciously offered to drive us all back to the hotel in his pimp daddy
mini-van, lo and behold where it all started going downhill. Upon arriving at the hotel and trying to
wiggle my way out of the back seat, I stepped down to the ground [in my heels]
only my foot didn’t come down quite right.
Heels + A bad angle = Excruciating pain, immediate swelling, & of
course me bawling like a baby. I Could. Not.
Even. Walk. Once again, thank God for
Will being a strong man and carrying me up to our hotel room. The next morning I woke to what looked like a
300 lb person’s foot. It was HUGE &
I was completely devastated. I am an
extremely active person who is always on the go, so when something is
prohibiting me from doing the things I love, I HATE it. I cannot stand to be injured, laid up,
hobbling around on crutches whatsoever.
I was especially terrified after I went to the doctor and after one look
he sent me in for an x-ray. Just what I
need… Thank goodness there was no fracture, just a really, really bad sprain,
which ultimately landed me in das boot.
Pretty attractive, huh? I thought
so too. After a week of lugging that
thing around I am proud to say, I AM BOOTLESS!!
And just in time to get in shape for Arizona!! I can’t believe in ONE short week, Will and I
will be lounging by the pool and catching some rays! I need this vacation badly! Especially after this hectic past month. And Will probably ESPECIALLY needs this vaca
after having to deal with me for this past month! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he
is an absolute saint. I’m certain my
body would be in pieces right now without him there to hold it together. Thank you Will :)
On another note, this past weekend was absolutely
amazing. Gorgeous weather, spent with
great friends and of course one or two Bud Light Limes. Mmmmm, there’s just
something about BLL’s on hot summer spring days.
Sunday was spent running {walking for me} hills and riding our bikes
around Zorinski Lake. I can’t decide if
the highlight was the absolute fiasco of having to attach the bike rike, stop
on the way because the bikes were falling off, then get flipped off while
driving slowly {so the bikes wouldn’t fall off} down the road -OR- watching
Maddie come within an inch of taking out an old man sitting on a bench, because
a bug flew into her eye and she couldn’t see.
It was definitely the most adventurous bike ride I’ve ever experienced. Parting advice: Have somebody who knows what
they’re doing attach the bike rack! XOXOXOXO
