WARNING- icky, but awesome pictures.

So, while Phill’s parents are out of town, we have been taking care or watering their plants and his dads plants at the greenhouse every couple of days. On Sunday, we decided to go and take care of the greenhouse because we were working crazy hours this week.

While we were there, I was playing around with the motorcycle/ dirt bike that they have there. I asked Phill to teach me to ride it. We were having a lot of fun with it. I was in the front, and Phill was behind me. We were doing wheelies and everything. Anyways, after riding for a little while, we decided to ride back to the jeep and head home. We made a sharp turn in some long grass… and guess what... my foot decided to be conquered by a tree stump. It really didn’t hurt that bad at first. But I looked down at my foot, and saw blood and bone and tendons, and I flipped out. Choice words came screaming out. Phill felt so bad and carried me to the car and put a towel over my foot so I couldn’t look at it. I went into shock and my bp dropped really low. That didn’t help things because I felt like I was going to pass out and throw up everywhere until they had me laying down with antibiotics flowing through an IV and my foot nice and numb.

No health insurance, 18 (I think) stitches, antibiotics, and fractured bones later… I’m laying here for the next two weeks with my foot up. Then after that, I’m hobbling around on crutches for a couple months, and then after that I get to perhaps go back to work, and gain my leg muscles back.

They have me on painkillers that help my foot feel better.. but I can’t seem to keep food down.. and I never go 5 minutes without feeling nauseous as heck. Ugh.

I’m just so thankful to have Phill. He has carried me everywhere. He moderates my medicine intake to make sure I’m taking it on time. He wakes up at all hours of the night to help me move, or pee, or get medicine. He even set up a place for me in our spare room by the tv, with all I need right there while he’s at work. J He’s so good to me.

This is my foot when we first got to the ER

Phill helping the nurse clean out my wound correctly.
They found rocks, grass, seeds and everything in there. Ew.

This is when Phill and the nurse got done cleaning it out.

Now swollen and stitched up.

Oh, the anticipation!

Phill and I have been married one day less than three months! Time has gone by so slow but so fast. It's been a great 3 months with a lot of adjustments, happiness, and learning responsibility and adulthood. It's pretty much awesome.

With a lot of changes coming our way, we have been trying to make some decisions. I'm 2 classes away from getting my associates at BYU-Idaho. One, is offered online, and the other is not. So really, I have to move to Rexburg at some point and finish this ONE class. Of course, I won't let 4 months go to waste, so I would take other necessary classes for my Bachelors. Anyways,  we are trying to figure out if now is the time to move there together so I can finish, or for both of us to keep working, save up, be sure to have health insurance, etc. Anyways, we're leaning more towards the latter, but we'll see in a couple weeks I guess.

Let's see.. what's interesting in the life of the Coombs?

We've been doing some fun activities on weekends when we have some time off  of work. Our new favorite place is Salmon Falls. We especially like the druggies who try to sell us stuff :P Anyways, it's beautiful there. The water is clean and clear.. There is a tunnel that you can walk up with about a million little waterfall things.. it's intense. I am ashamed to say that I am so incredibly wimpy. Yes, I'm probably one of the 3 girls that has ever tried and succeeded.. but it was hard, and I saw my life flash before my eyes a couple times, but it was fun, and I'm glad I can say that I did it. It was funny because there were a bunch of other guys doing it and they cheered for me at the end.

My friend from High school came to visit with her fiancée a couple of weeks ago which was pretty fun. We got to go to Seattle.. which was a pain in the butt to get there because it took us 8 hours instead of only 3 or 4 because of traffic. Yuck. The car was small, so Phill and I were crammed.. but it was okay. We got to go up the space needle. It was fun :) Good thing I'm not afraid of heights! We also saw the movie Inception with them.. and went to Salmon falls. :) Like I said.. it's our new fav place.

Phill and I are just working a ton, loving hanging out with his family, plannin our life...

:D

We're just happy!
