Sad But Funny


let me just start by saying that our left hand shift key is broken and i don't have the patience to use the right hand shift today, too hard to retrain the brain. anywho, dustin has had quite the week. on tuesday he fell while skateboarding across campus and dislocated his arm. he was taken by ambulance to the hospital and now has to keep the arm in the sling for atleast the next month. thats the sad part. the funny part is that he fell while carrying a 50lb packpack and carrying another 50lbs of books in his hands while skateboarding over the light rail tracks. okay, so that is not quite funny yet. the best part about it is that he had just seen a skateboarder get off his skateboard in order to get over the tracks and he had thought to himself that anyone with skill would have ridden over the tracks....the lord humbles us in many ways :)
no, i am not an evil wife in disecting his embarrasing moments, he has admitted being humbled to me.
so now i am his chauffeur, his email typist, and about everything else. however, i am really enjoying serving him. it is amazing how the little things like getting up to get eachother a glass of water can be fought over, or who will turn off the bedroom light, or who will do the dishes, and yet when the service is much more time consumming but done with out being asked or just because it is needed, it is very fullfilling and rewarding and helps me to grow more in love with dust. wow, schmoopie but true. i am thankful for this chance to serve him ( dustin isn't quite thankful for the dislocated arm yet). so i suggest serving others in small and big ways for the next few days (or forever) and fall more deeply in love with those around you!

What! He couldn't even skateboard over the tracks with both arms full of 100 pounds?! What a wimp!

You're a good wife Lyndzee. Was there, by any chance, video footage of the "fall?" If so I would like to see it.

Welcome to blogger, I'm glad you're here.
