Weeks of Miracles

Well I guess I should elaborate on my dad's accident. Or rather incident, as there are no accidents.
He was on a motorcycle ride with his friends, they had been gone all day.
Outside of Delta, they were on a mountain road, curving up the mountain.
His friends were a curve ahead when the realized my dad was not with them.
They turned around to find my dad sprawled out on the ground.
He told them he had been turning left, following the curve of the road, when a huge gust of wind came from the left and lifted his bike up in the air, with him still on it.
He remembers seeing a mile marker before he hit the ground.
His right light hit the mile marker, fracturing both the bones in his lower leg. He broke 6 vertebra (nothing that will impare him though), and 3 ribs.
a week and a half in the hospital with two surgeries.
The thing about the surgeries is a miracle.
After the first surgery the doctor told us that he set the bone perfectly, but there was not enough skin on his leg to cover it. Without the skin the bone could not heal properly. So they were going to have to do at least 3 more surgeries.
But a miracle happened.
The second surgery was to inspect the wound without the swelling that was present during the first one, and to remove any more dead or dying skin on the wound. But as it turns out there was no more dead or dying skin on his leg, allowing the doctors to close the wounds (with blue thread and staples mind you).
So many small and large miracles have happened in my life in the last two weeks, I would be a fool to not see God's hand in all of them!
So, Thank you Heavenly Father. Thank you for saving my dad, for saving us money, for giving my family a chance to become closer together. Thank you for your eternal grace that allows me to repent and be forgiven of my sins.
I know that my Heavenly Father loves me, and that he is watching out for me and my family. I know that I can be with my family forever.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Update

Well, Dad is home now. No thanks to the rehab home he was in.
Homework is piling up, it is hard to get it done while being a mom. I think I underestimate my mom, and mothers everywhere! Especially mothers that are going to school! On the bright side, they all got to raise their kids from birth (unless they are adopted). Well, this is just a quick update.
Life is hard, but no one ever said it would be easy.
Castle is on.

Yes, The Impossible Really Does Happen

Friday my dad was in a motorcycle accident.
We thought we would be able to take him home the next day.
As it turned out he would have to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks with multiple surgeries.
Then he went into a surgery on Monday and as it turned out he had plenty of skin to cover his bone! Which is the entire reason he would have had to stay in the hospital, cause he didn't have enough skin on his leg!
Heavenly Father really is looking out for us. He is so wonderful, giving us only as much as we can handle, and then sometimes even taking that away!
I would like to thank everyone one who prayed for my family and who has helped us get through this tough time. We are not out of it yet, but we can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

When South turns to North

Ran for 45 minutes 39 seconds today (45:39)!
Once again covered in mud!
I am going to go longer and long until I can reach my goals!

I hate it when a good show goes south.
Say, you know how scientists say the poles of the earth flip every million years or so? Well if you don't know, read this and you will!
anyway, I was thinking we will have to say "don't you hate it when a good thing goes north" instead of south.
random thought but still a good one.

Update: I am getting better and better at making riceballs! I want to try some cool things to put in them, but I don't know what to do. I have used Tuna and mayonase, sausage, strawberries and semi-sweet chocolate (I DO NOT recommend this one), and hamburger.
But I need some that I could just leave out. i want to be able to stick it in a lunch box and eat it just how it is, and without it being cold. I do NOT like cold riceballs, or at least the tuna ones.
