Bruised and broken

Ok, so Saturday started out being an awesome day! We got up and went to Park City, got our passes and rushed out to the lift. It was the first time of the season and we were stoked! Well, the first run of the day, Jon caught an edge and crashed HARD. All I could think was please get up. He landed right on his head and shoulder. Well, his head was fine, but his shoulder didn't come out so lucky. He was in a lot of pain, but we took a few more runs and called it a day. In the locker room, his shoulder was already starting to swell bad. All we could think of was Alaska. For part of the interview, he has to do a physical test and do 25 pushups. For a not broken Jon this is an easy task, but with an injured shoulder, not so easy.
He went to the physical therapist yesterday who concluded that it was separated, but had gone back into place on its own. He is optimistic that Jon will still be able to go to Alaska in January, but in the mean time it means lots of therapy and taking it easy.
Also, on Saturday night, I was at work. We were super busy and I was literally running all night long. I had just picked up a tray of dirty plates from a table and was stopping by the computer to print out a check when I felt my feet go out from under me. There was nothing I could do. It was just like in the movies when all of a sudden there is a big crash and the whole restaurant goes silent. I was mortified! Luckily, I was behind a counter and not a lot of people saw, but they all heard. Needless to say, I have some pretty gnarly bruises on my elbow, hip, and knees. What starting out being an awesome day turned out being very painful.
So we are just taking it easy around here. Oh, yesterday we went to IKEA and got a $10 rug and an entertainment center for half off...gotta love the as-is section. It's looking like we might have a living room after all. No more walking in on Jon's friends sitting on my bed. I'm pretty excited!

Married at last

Picture by Parker Alec CrossWell, I am horrible at blogging. It's been 6 months since I posted last. A lot has happened in those six months. School started and is ending next week. We got to go on the Middlefork twice. (for those of you who are wondering what the Middlefork is and why it's so important that we went twice, it is a permit only river in Idaho. Permits are very hard to get and usually the only people who go more than once are the outfitters) We did quite a bit of mountain biking, I started a new job at the Rodizio Grill, Jon got accepted to interview in Alaska with the state troopers in January, and most importantly Jon and I got married. Yes, that's right, we finally got married. November 21, 2009 was a big day in our lives. We got married in the Twin Falls temple on a cold, windy November day. Everything went perfectly. It even snowed the next moring.

We have been married for three weeks now. Everything is wonderful. We are living in the house that Jon grew up in. It is an old farmhouse built in the early 1900's. We are in the process of fixing up a few things. We almost have the kitchen all painted and done. We hung some blinds last week so that we don't have to worry about being blinded by the sun. It has been a fun little adventure for us to undertake together.

Well, I am going to try and be more diligent with the whole blogging thing in the future, and try hard not to bore everyone. But for now, we want to thank everyone who helped make our last few weeks so amazing!
