Emergency Room

Last week I was finishing up at work. Clark and work in the same little town and so when our schedules work out we drive into work together. We had driven into work together this day and so at about three thirty he called me and told me he was at my hospital in the emergency room. Now, for normal people this would probably be a worrisome place to hear my husband was, but I was just thinking he had come to pick me up and was for some reason waiting in the emergency room waiting area. I told him I'd change and be right out to go home. He then clarified that he was a patient in the emergency room and that he had cut himself at work and needed stitches! So we spent a fun afternoon in the ER. The funniest, or should I say, most worrisome part about it all, was when the doctor asked when his last tetanus shot had been. He said he wasn't sure. He said maybe it was last summer when he split his lip open and had gotten stitches, or maybe it was the summer before when he had shot himself with a nail gun. It was right about the time when he mentioned the nail gun that I got worried! But all is well, he took the stitches out himself the other night because he couldn't stand them anymore...and he's healing up!

Christmas...

We woke up on Christmas Eve and had our own little Christmas before we went over the Clark's parents. We both got eachother snowboots, which we both love. Our feet are a lot warmer now! Clark also got me the soft shell I'd been wanting, and I got him the Star Wars trilogy. He's never seen star wars before!






We had a great Christmas this year! We spent Christmas at Clark's parents house. It was so fun because Paige and Matt, and Roger and Alicia and us (all the newleyweds) slept over night, along with Bert and Hailey and their kids. We had a program where me and Clark were the sheppards, and Paige, Clark's sister was a sheep! It was quite the manger scene! We woke up the next morning and because Bert and Hailey's daughter was still sleeping, I made gingerbread pancakes for everyone, this is what the Williams' family has every Christmas morning. Then we opened presents, attempted to do a cow puzzle, that was really hard and failed, sledded behind the four wheelers, and watched Dax and Matt fly around their remote control helicoptors. It was a fun Christmas.











We went down to my house new years eve, and spent the week with my family. We had a lot of fun playing walleyball, going to breakfast, playing basketball at the gym, and playing games. My best friend, Kati Layton, also got married on Saturday so it was fun to see her so happy, and see all my college friends again. I love these girls!
