YaY christmas!!

So Rick's rule is that I can't start talking or decorating for christmas until after Thanksgiving. Well needless to say it never works and I start talking about christmas about three months earlier. But I do wait till after to decorate. So today I decorated!! Rick and his dad went and cut down a tree yesterday and we decorated today. Oh I love Christmas!!

Thanksgiving was way fun!!! We went up to my parents house in Taylorsville on Tuesday and we stayed till Thursday night. On Wednesday we went on a walk and me and Rick got each other our Christmas present. We got a beautiful picture of Jesus. It's the picture of the woman at the living water well at Jesus's feet. Well we already have it up on the wall. Merry christmas to us!! But it's what we wanted so it's great. On Thanksgiving we had delicious food and my brother and his cute family came. It was a blast!!

Then we came home and Rick's family came the next day. Everyone except his brother and wife because they just had a cute little baby girl. So we spent the weekend with them. They were so nice and built us a ramp in the garage for the days it snow since ours is outside. It's wonderful! Thanks so much you guys!! So overall this week was a great one!!

Well it's come to my knowledge that alot of people are reading our blog that have never heard the story of what happened to Rick in the first place. Rick's sister started a blog when Rick first fell but when I started mine I never really told the story of what happened. So here it goes........... On March 9th Rick was working on our new house late at night with some of our friends. It was about 11:00 at night, and it was an hour before our one year anniversary. Rick shot a nail into a board and it bent funny and ended up going into his hand. He was fine and he pulled it out and he said it didn't even hurt. But then he started looking at his hand making sure his leather glove didn't get into his hand. While he was staring at it he started to get light headed. This was in a house that was just in the framing stage and in the wood floor there was a hole cut out for where the stairs would go. When Rick felt light headed he started heading over to the other side of the house to get his drink. While he was walking over he passed out and just happened to tip just right and he fell through the hole in the ground. He fell about 9 feet and landed straight on his head on the concrete floor. Since he was passed out he couldn't brace himself at all. He woke up and couldn't feel or move his legs. An ambulance was called and in the hospital they took cat scans and found out he broke his neck. He got life flighted to the hospital in Provo and that's kind of where my blog started. So the rest of the story I've been telling over the last 8 months. From the beggining we've had blessing and feelings and everything else that Rick will be healed and will walk and we'll have kids.. we just have to be patient. And I'm thankful for all the people that read our blog and leave comments, it makes us realize we're not going through this all alone. So now everyone knows the story so my blogs will probably make more sense.

Here's a video with some pictures through out the journey. Rick trully is amazing and I know he'll come out of this an even more amazing person then when he started. It's hard, and this is definely the biggest trial either one of us have faced. We're strong people, but we have tons of moments of weakness(well at least I do.) But we both believe and know it's temporary so we can do it!
