WHOOPS!!

Okay, so maybe I post to often! Oh well.. get over it! :)
This last weekend I went up to see Brandon in Idaho. I left right after work on Thursday and stayed at my parents until Friday afternoon. It was so good to finally see Brandon. I was able to meet the therapist and everyone that Brandon works with. They all seem super cool! We are so grateful for the experience this allows Brandon to have!
On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa took us 4-wheeling. We were almost at the end of the trail and I accidentally hit a rock in the trail. It flipped the 4-wheeler over to the side of the trail. It was enough to tip it over. I fell off and knew that the 4 wheeler was coming on top of me!! I tried to fall farther away, but the 4-wheeler still landed on my foot!! Brandon came around the corner and he said that he saw a big ball of dust and me on the ground. He jumped off the 4-wheeler and came to make sure I was okay. I was crying and told him to get the 4 wheeler off my foot! He pushed it off with a couple heaves. I was sick to my stomach and could feel the shock in my body, so Brandon took me over to lay down and put my feet up on the helmet. My arm hurt so bad. It felt broken! I was so worried. I laid there for awhile while Grandma tied a sling using my jacket. I opened my eyes and the sky was spinning! Grandpa came back up to see what had happened. He wondered how the heck Brandon had pushed that 4 wheeler up by himself!! It was either angels helping him or his adrenaline was going when he saw me under it!
I rode down on the back of Grandpa's 4 wheeler. The whole time down thinking how I was going to do everything with a dang broken arm and that I knew my insurance was not going to cover out of state! It hurt really bad, but decided to wait and see what happened after we put ice on it. We got home and I put ice on it and took some ibuprofen and it started feeling much better! I think i just bruised it really really bad!! Thank goodness!! I came out of it with a sore/bruised right arm, a huge raspberry bruise on my upper thigh/hip, scratches on my right leg, bruised shins where the 4 wheeler landed, and a story to tell! It was definately scary, but I am glad it was only that. It could have been much worse!
The weekend was fun! It sucks to come home alone though and say goodbye!! 2 weeks down and 8 to go!!
