Falling for you


These pics are from Christmas and are posted for my Hamiltopia friends, since we talked about Evelyn's wedding dress Christmas present at our community meal on Sunday evening. And my mom gave me and Courtney these amazing aprons and napkins. Check us out, people! No longer will I stain my knees while cooking!!

Speaking of knees, I fell AGAIN today. What is wrong with me? I was at the Ranch, carrying all my stuff out to my car, and slipped on the ice. I went down on my knee-hip-elbow-side, in that order of course. I landed on the pavement with my laptop still over my shoulder, still clutching my notebooks and stainless steel water bottle.

Two weeks ago I was walking out the front door on my way to Bible study with my Bible in one arm and my favorite, GIANT glass mug of tea in the other. The porch was icy, and before I even got to the first step I was flying through the air, looking up at the sky thinking, "This is gonna hurt." I was right. I landed on my back on the stairs, still holding my Bible and the handle of my now-shattered favorite GIANT glass mug. Silently, I cried. Then I heard Alan yelling, "Tina!! Don't move!! I'm coming!!" and I thought, "I'd better move. He thinks I'm paralyzed." Remarkably, I'm fine. Praise God for my genetics and good bone density.

It makes me wonder if I shouldn't have been a running back. I can take a hit and not drop my stuff.

Wow - looks like all those years of hanging around me have finally rubbed off. If you start having sneezing fits - you might turning into me.

I sneezed twice in B of B this morning & had to ask Evelyn to go get me some tissues! It's kind of a bummer that you had to move all the way around the world before you started rubbing off on me, though. :)
