Ben actually broke both of his arm bones. Got a more permanent cast put on, and we go back in 3 weeks. Then we’ll get the cast off, more xrays, and a wrist stabilizer for him to wear for 2 weeks. He’s pretty bummed.

Yeah, I’m totally not feeling this “honor”.

So I can keep in touch with my sweeties.

She’s been sending me pics!

He wasn’t violent today and he didn’t try to steal anything.

Yesterday was just a bit scary.

I need to lose like 10 pounds and build some upper body strength!

It was actually sunny, but there were snow showers!

There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense, and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all the risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.
