March 17th


I can't believe that it has been over two and a half years since my accident. 
It was such a crazy time for me and my family. 
I feel like I grew so much and I am so grateful for the blessings that came from my accident. 
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about when I say "accident"
I broke my neck. 
Yes, "be careful or your going to break your neck" is not just an expression. 
I actually did and I have the battle wounds to prove it.

The back scar has really healed up just fine and you can hardly notice it.
But this front scar has turned into a keloid which is not that flattering. 
 
My parents came to me after this started happening and asked me if i wanted to get it taken care of so it was not as noticeable. 
At first, I did not really want to. 
Battle wounds. 
Duh.
But then after random people started asking me in the check out line what happened. 
Or people at parties bring up as a conversation starter, I thought. 
This thing has got to go.
Plus, over the years it has become even worse that it hurts to touch.

So today I saw the doctor to have this bad boy tamed! 
I am so excited!
Because lets face it random grocery store worker
It is kind of an awkward conversation starter. 
"Oh what happened"
"ummm, I broke my neck"
"oh... "
yeah, you didn't see that one coming huh. 
 
So here's to dodging that bullet!

Can I just....

...stay at home all day decorating my house and doing crafts?
I wish!
Martha Stewart's new craft furniture is really making me jealous that I can't.

Remember when...

So since this blog is kind of like a journal for Mike and I, I thought it would be fun to do a little post about our little fads of the moment... 
Restaurants: Malawi's & Golden Spoon. ( I have officially converted Mike, he told me he add been craving it the other day. Woot Woot!)
Food: coco pebbles (seriously Mike goes through a box a week) and cheese and crackers (yes, I am 5). 
Free Time: okay there isn't much of that around here but when we do find the time, you can find Mike playing FIFA and me on the Internet looking at cheap vacations that we are Not going to be taking this year (the only vacations we are sneaking in are to our friends/families weddings, which is fine by us). 
Other than that we are just the same old same old. I am still drinking way to much DC with a little cherry coke, Mike still consumes juice (and I say juice not ruby red because Mike seems to be upset with apple juice now too) as his daily fruit and veggie servings. We still go to a movie every weekend, love eating out and still have are dance sessions in the car blasting the music.
Oh and still cannot wait for Summer.

Is it just me...

 Or am I the only one who is having an extremely hard time staying motivated with school?
I suggested ditching our plans today with the hubs.
His response was that that didn't sound fun, and he would rather get things done and out of the way. 
Thank goodness for husbands. 
It still sounds appetizing to go do a little spring shopping, grab a DC and see a afternoon movie. 
But I guess I will go turn in that homework and take that test that it on my checklist for today. 
Can't wait till I am done this Spring and then I can enjoy this...
 and this.
Please Parents never move. 
We love that coming home means coming home to two beautiful paradises.
