IT'S ALMOST VALENTINES DAY! Yay love day! :) Too bad it's on a stinking Monday. Oh well! When Cade and I were in college we would go every year to this place called 'Mr.G's'. It was our tradition and we miss it. :( So every year Cade and I eat pizza from somewhere but it absolutely hasssss to be pizza. :)
SO I decided to be a tech pro tonight and got a little creative. :) Cade and I recorded a video about how we met. Sorry for two things: My face looks HUGE because of how I was holding the computer and sorry we were laughing when its started... there was a pause... it was awkward... so we laughed. Anyway... enjoy! :)
(Alright the video didn't work, but I'll figure it out!!!)
While we're speaking of past Valentine's Days, two years ago on Valentine's Day, Cade and I got in a car accident that completely changed the rest of our college experiences. Let me preface this story- I am not telling you this because I want you to feel bad for us- don't. We were fine eventually. I am telling you this story because I am trying to express how blessed I feel everyday just to be here and especially to still have my husband. Now, as I was saying. Two years ago on Valentine's Day, Cade and I were in a bad accident. It was raining very hard outside and we over-corrected and lost control of the car. We went down an embankment and the car rolled over. The car stopped rolling when it hit a tree. We ended up upside down. The car stopped on its roof. Cade wasn't awake when the paramedics got to us and I was awake but had a concussion so I didn't know what was happening. They care-flighted us to Austin because it was closest to where the accident was. Cade ended up with a dislocated shoulder (right arm) and a broken collarbone (left arm). I ended up with some bad brusing, a black eye, and a concussion. Get ready, I'm climbing onto my soap box right now... everyday is a blessing. EVERYDAY. Even the ones you think could NOT get any worse. They are a gift from God and should be cherished. I forget that SO often. Okay... I'm climbing down from my soap box now. :) Something that Cade and I have tried to do every Valentine's Day since the wreck has been to show how much we love (not only each other but) everyone that is in our lives. I love every one of you. Even those of you who I have never met. I love you. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day. You don't need a boyfriend/fiancee/husband to hear those words. Happy Valentine's Day. I'm putting a few pictures from the wreck below. If you would rather not look, that is perfectly fine. :) BYE!
The blue truck behind our car were people who stopped to help us.
A few days later. I messed up my neck because of the airbag (thats what that black thing is)... small price to pay. :) Cade is on SOOOOO much medication.
This is the beauty that came from all this junk... 4 weeks later we were married. Happy Valentine's Cade.
Last thing... a special thank you to all of those who helped make that time in our lives so less painful than it could have been- both our families, especially our sisters: Megan Dobbs and Rosanna Pilcher. Amanda Bruns - for helping me get through school and Danny Cepeda - for you, Danny the list goes on forever. Kirstin Pullen - for helping Cade get through his school and play stuff. Thank you guys! MUCH LOVE!
