Pics from the ski trip

All of us before the accident

About to head down the mountain!

Packing me up : )

Putting the splint on, the ski patrol guy kept me laughing (he was the best)

The ride down was actually really fun

How I had to ride home

A broken ankle and surgery :(

So sorry for the delay in posting, but I had quite an incident a few weeks ago. Adam and I, along with some friends went to Wolf Laurel for a ski weekend. We got there on Friday night and did the night skiing where we all had a great time. Then on Saturday, the real fun began. We starting skiing at around 9 that morning. I had been doing pretty well that day till about 1:00. I went down a green slope and apparently did not turn right and fell about two feet and proceeded to break my ankle in 3 places. At the time, it did not hurt as bad as I thought a broken bone should so I thought it was just a bad sprain. The ski patrol came and helped me down the mountain in one of those sled things (which was actually really fun, haha). I will put some pictures up tonight of the event. Long story short, we decided to drive back to Greenville so I could go to the emergency room here. I spent 5 loooong hours at St Francis Women's and went home doped up on pain pills till I could go to the orthopedics office on Monday. Dr Womack (if you ever have any foot problems, go to him, he is the best), told me it was broke and set me up surgery on Thursday to have a metal plate and pins put in. That was definitely a long 3 days. Sleep was not good. But surgery went well, and I am now in a hard cast (for 5 weeks) and walking around on crutches. Those are still hard to get used too. But I am hanging in there. It will be a long healing process, but I just keep telling myself that it could have been worse. Everything has its purpose so I am just taking it one day at a time.

Thank you to all my wonderful friends and family who have helped me, sent cards, brought food, and just came to visit. Yall made it a much less painful ordeal than it could have been. It is always nice to know you have friends and family to support you. God has truly blessed me with amazing friends.

Pictures coming soon :)

A New Year

I know it has been awhile, I am sorry. My computer at home is not functioning too well so I am hoping once we get it cleaned up I will be able to post pics from Christmas and what not. I dont have much time now since I am blogging at work (taking a quick break), but I just wanted to say that one of my New Year's Resolution is to try and keep up with this thing, haha. I know everyone has new year resolutions so I thought I would post mine so I can have them up here and hopefully I can stick to them.

1. Keep up with my blog more often

2. Get into a routine of going to the gym instead of paying the monthly fee for no reason :)

3. Adam and I are going to buckle down with our saving and start looking for a house

4. I need to keep up with my daily devotions better

5. Try not to worry about things so much (I am a big worry wort) and know that God has everything under control

These are my resolutions for the year :). If you have any good ones feel free to comment and post your own. I promise to have another post soon once I get the computer running better and my new camera (thanks Adam) on there to upload pics.

Decorating and Christmas Party

I am so excited about Christmas this year, because it will be our first Christmas at the Phillips'. We spent the Saturday night after Thanksgiving decorating the Christmas tree and the apartment. We had a great time putting everything up and Roxie even enjoyed herself (and she has not messed with the tree yet either amazingly). Christmas is my favorite time of the year, getting to spend time with your family and friends and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. Below are a couple of pictures of our tree and apartment and also a few from our Sunday School Christmas party. We had a progressive dinner this past Saturday night and our home was host to the warm appetizers. It was so much fun to go to each others home and get to hang out with everyone. Adam and I are truly blessed to have found a church where we feel at home and have such great Christian friends.

Clemson USC

This year I watched the game with my sister, I think she thought she was going to be able to rub a win in my face. But alas, Clemson stomped USC, wooo hooo. GO TIGERS!!!! Wish I could have actually been at the game but it was nice to watch it with three USC fans and being able to gloat all day long.

6th Annual Friend Thanksgiving

Once again, my lovely friends and I had our annual Friend Thanksgiving. This is now the 6th year that we have continued this tradition. We started one year when we were all in Clemson before leaving to go home to our families. It is such a great tradition to get to spend with some of my best friends. With a season of Thanksgiving it is so nice to enjoy an evening with the ones you love. Below are a few pictures from the night including the newest addition, little Jackson :)

Updating Soon

Sorry for the delay...I will be posting a new message hopefully today or tomorrow. Things have been a little crazy around here lately but I will update with a Thanksgiving blog and what not. Love to all!!
