"I didn't clean, BUT I did make a mess"

What a crazy crazy day that started last night. Take a breather...ok here goes! Last night before bed, Matt checked his email and found out about a deadline he had for a design project due today. This morning we woke up, Matt was super sick :(, I got ready for work and he got ready to go to work on his design project. I got to work and there was a lot to catch up on, things have been moving slow lately. Right before lunch I received a text telling me that my best friend had gotten into a bad car accident. After having a little moment of tears in the bathroom, I left work and came home to my wonderful husband. He had been busy all day with his design project and said to me, "I didn't clean, BUT I did make a mess". I love him. While waiting to hear if Elizabeth was allowed visitors, I cleaned the house to help calm the nerves. Little did Matt know when he was making his mess that it would help :). HA! After showering and and making a few phone calls, I made my way to the hospital. What an interesting event that was! It was my first time driving on the freeway AND I drove our stick! Although I made it onto the freeway safely, I was not at all safe with the empty gas tank that I, and Matt, had forgotten to fill! ANYWAYS, I got lost getting off the freeway, but was quickly put back on course by the wonderful Kaylin McGrew who was meeting up with me at the hospital to see Elizabeth. Seeing Elizabeth was great. Even though she had a concussion, stitches in her head and hand, a bruised lung, broken pelvis, dislocated shoulder, and fractured hip, she was smiling and happy. AMAZING GIRL! After leaving the hospital, I stopped at a Subway and asked where the nearest gas station was so that I could fill the empty tank. After getting directions that one was just around the corner, I got back into the car and IT WOULD NOT START. Who would have thought that a car with no gas couldn't start!? My knight and shining armor came riding in on his white horse and saved me by bringing some gas to get the car started. THAT will never happen again! ha. We rushed home after that to get ready for the ward Halloween Party. We dressed up as Harry Potter and Hermione, since this IS Harry Potter Month and all. The ward party was FUN. We helped paint faces and then the rest of the fam came and we got to see their super cute Toy Story costumes! I wish that is where the night ended, but then we came home and Matt had A LOT more design work to do. Good thing we have Thursdays off...tonight will be just another late night. :)
