{Just trying to live up to my word}

Well blogging seems to be harder than I thought.
Which got me to thinking why I blog?
I use to have this one main purpose of blogging {Be A Famous Blogger}.
That has since changed.
I blog for me.
I blog for my future.
I blog for my family.
Through blogging I have met some amazing people.
Some I've gotten to know personally.
Some I'm planning on getting to know {SWDS} personally.
I {love} blogging. It's my journal. It's how I express myself.
I just need to really set time apart in my {oh so bust life--joking} to blog.

With that being said. I will post pictures of my hair. Promise. I just need to take some.
I'm currently in a huge green sweatshirt with a crazy bun on the top of my head. So no pictures today.
Tomorrow? Possible. I'm going to just aim for Friday though. 

Quick update. Since getting back to Utah I have been a busy bee. Well mainly I spend all my time with Dan {blog nickname ideas?}. It's been really great to actually live in the same city. Did you know that we have been in a long distance relationship since JULY? Gross, right? Anyways, we're together and happy:). My pelvis is also doing well, if you even wanted to know. I feel like I've turned my blog into some sort of healing my pelvis blog. Oh well. That's just life right now. I have to do some physical therapy, but I should be completely normal in February. Word to the wise: Don't break your pelvis. Unless you like to have people shower you, then feel free.

Things I've noted while writing this post:
Take more pictures.
Blogs are much more interesting to read with pictures.
I'm on it.
Believe me.

Well I'm back. For reals.

Goal for 2012: Be more of a constant blogger.

I'm talking making 2-3 posts a week.

And that hasn't happened since this like June.

Here's to a New Year:)

The past month has been a tough one--emotionally and physically.

Breaking my pelvis has got to be one of the hardest things that I think I will ever go through. Sure, there will be other trials that come along, but this one will take the cake.

Update on my pelvis? I started walking this week! By no means do I walk normal and I can't walk for long distance, but I CAN WALK!

There were multiple days in December that I would honestly think that I would never walk again. Oh also, I took a bubble bath this morning. I missed being able to just sit in a hot bath. {first time I tried this, I almost passed out--this is a big deal}

I've been lucky enough to be home with my parents since December 20th. I fly back to Utah on Tuesday and then have a doctors appointment to get x-rays--then I'll really know how my pelvis is doing. Personally, I've come leaps and bounds since my accident. I'm ready to be healthy again!

I'd thought I'd update you on my life through my Instagram photos:

1. View of NYC from across the Hudson.

2. Dan and I decided to go visit the Cake Boss Bakery. We were so close to NYC we couldn't pass it up. Picture me in a wheelchair at Time Square. So fun.

3. New Years Eve

4. Dan and I bee boppin around:)

5. Tulips. One of my favorite flowers.

6. I can't ever keep my feet warm if the weather is below 40 degrees.

Star Struck

Today I met Nie Nie. 

I've been reading her blog for what feels like years.

She can make you laugh and cry in one post. She writes so beautifully and teaches you that there are so many beautiful things in life to be grateful for. Meeting her was an honor. 

And yes, I did act like a star struck freak. Not as much as Kelsey though. I think she turned into a mute for a moment or two. {love you}

It was just crazy. Dan & I decided to venture out and meet Kelsey for lunch in Provo.

We were about to leave. Dan helped me into the car and looked over and said "There's NieNie" 

{he said it a couple times} before Kelsey and I even noticed. We started freaking out immediately. No joke. I had to meet her. I had no choice. 

I.Am.A.Freak.

So...I crutched back into the restaurant and talked to her.

She is honestly just as nice as I pictured her to be.

She also has the cutest baby bump. ever.

She asked why I was on crutches and I could tell she had sympathy for me. 

She told me I would heal and that I "looked cute."

She made my day. My week. Quite possibly my year.  

I'm sorry. Are these two boys not adorable?

 Kingston's laugh can melt your heart. 

He laid in bed with me today and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

That show is crack for babies. No joke.

These pictures are from Thanksgiving. 

I stole them from {my favorite 2nd mom}.

I saw them on her blog and thought to myself "I could walk then."

How I wish I could walk. Do you know how long it takes to crutch anywhere?

F.o.r.e.v.e.r

And then you need a nap because you're exhausted.  

Speaking of NieNie and not being able to walk.

Listen to {this} song. It's pretty great.

Who Knew?

Who knew that this app could actually save lives?

When my sister found out about my accident she had NO idea where I was.

Thanks to Find My Friends Dan was able to find my location which helped them find where I actually was.

Therefore, Find my Friends saves lives AND {Ruin's Marriages}.

Also...if you were wondering my beautiful white IPhone came out with not a scratch. 

If you have an IPhone, but don't have a case. I recommend getting one. My case saved my phone.

I debated if I was going to post these photos.

They make me sick to my stomach. I didn't take them. I didn't nor will I see my car in person, but from what I've been told, the pictures don't do justice. 

RIP Sally. You've been good to me.

Car Accident

I was in an accident on Friday. 

I fractured my pelvis in 2 places. The police said that I'm lucky.

I'm lucky. The people that I'm surrounded by make me feel ever more lucky.

{Flowers from Kelsey}

My sister and Jon {aka best brother-in-law ever} dropped everything Friday to rush to the hospital.

They have helped me in whatever ways I needed them.

Meghan even offered to give me a sponge bath:)

I can't thank them enough.

Dan has not left my side. He set his alarm every 4 hours through the night to wake up, feed me, and give me medicine. He has listened to my every demand, arranged my pillows over and over again, and helped me get out of bed to crutch to the bathroom. He never complained or got annoyed.

{and we all know that I was more than a little annoying}

He even told me I looked pretty this morning after I showered. 

Kelsey and Katie spent their Saturday night laying in bed with me, keeping me company.

They each brought me goodies to make me smile and keep me busy while I'm bed ridden. 

I've gotten phone calls and text messages from all my family and friends making sure I'm okay and just to tell me they love me.

Even though I don't remember anything from Friday. I will always remember how lucky I am to be surrounded by people that truly love me. I will be forever grateful for every s.i.n.g.l.e one of you.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
