Ok, so here is one of the craziest things that has happened this year...
At the the end of September I was going down stairs (a little too fast) when I accidentally skipped the last few steps and landed on the inner part of my left foot. When I did this it pushed my bones over slightly to the left, messing up the ligaments. The doctor called it a Lisfranc injury. Anyway.. I ended up having surgery a week later. They ended up putting 3 screws on the right side and 2 pins in on the left side to hold it all in place. It was wrapped up for 2 weeks, then I had a cast put on it for another 4 weeks (all the time not being able to put any weight on it), which made doing anything VERY difficult! Luckily I have great friends and family that helped me out while I was healing. Finally I got a walking boot, which I am still using until the beginning of next year. In January I can start wearing an athletic shoe with a good arch support, then in the middle of January they are expected to take out all my "hardware"..
This has been quite the experience.. I don't think I would have been able to handle it without my incredible parents, my #2 Mom Gayle, Lesley and the kids, Barbara and Summer (my favorite neighbors)... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I love you!

yuck!!! I did that when Rylee was almost 2. It hurts soo bad. But they never took my metal out I still have the screws and metal plate in there. Looking at those pictures I just cringe.
I just can't believe you could do something as klutzy as fall down the stairs and mess up your foot... what kind of people do that??? :)
OK.. one other thing. I LOVE the slide show and several of the pics cracked me up.. but in the shot of A. munching down on something in a restaurant, what's up with the dude in the background staring at the camera? Did you know him? Who does that?
You go girl, keep up the good work! You're on a roll!
