This weekend to say the least has been quite interesting full of many endings and new beginnings within our family. Most have been emotionally filled with happiness as well as sorrow.
Friday morning Mr. Tax Man decided to deposit part of our tax return and so we were able to pay off a few bills, thus ending our relationship with a few companies. I don't think that words could describe the joy and relief that it brought.
Saturday evening was the last race of the season for Utah Winter Cross, it was put on by UWX and the Utah Highway Patrol with benefits going to Make A Wish Foundation. I was happy/overwhelmed with excitement at the idea of having my husband back on the weekends and not out racing. Unfortunately it was not meant to last long. As I was pulling out of my parents coldesac I noticed I had missed a call from a 435 number and knew one of two things either Dave's phone lost its charge so he was borrowing someones to let me know his race positions or he got hurt. To make a long story short it was the latter. Dave tried to pass a few slower racers on the outside line and unfortunately cased the triple and broke his right ankle. I am so grateful to have amazing parents who agreed to watch our children and then take them to church in the morning as well as having amazing inlaws who took them Sunday night until later today when we got home. Needless to say this evening was full of endings and beginnings. The season ended for all of the racers, it also ended the year of riding for Dave, he is not able to work for the next 3 weeks and then when he is able to it will be "light duty". As far as beginnings that occurred on Sunday morning when Dave's surgery ended, he is the now proud owner of some serious hardware which include 2 plates and over 30 screws. He also now owns a handicap permit, a pair of crutches, and an amazing shuttle driver. (yep that's my new position)
The last beginning and ending is one that has brought many tears to our family, my dear Aunt Shawna lost her earthly battle and humbly accepted her new calling in Heaven. She fought her battle courageously with hope, love, and laughter always present to know her you couldn't help but fall in love. Family functions will not be the same without her presence but memories thankfully live forever. More than anything I am grateful for the knowledge, comfort, and faith which I have been given.
Sorry for those who read and are lost but sometimes thoughts aren't meant for anyone but me.

Don't worry your thoughts make sense to me -- but we're always on the same wavelength right? Tell Dave we're extra sorry about the tumble, but now he will get a whole new experience every time he flies that will make air travel a bit more memorable right? (seems like that hardware has a way of setting of metal detectors)
