Halloween is here!

So this last weekend we had our first Halloween Party! We had a great turn out and much to my mom and mother-in-law's helps all the food was great! I hadn't planned on it being a huge wild and crazy over the top party just some friends getting together playing some fun games and enjoying each others company. We had every finger food I could think of plus some of the best dips in the world (Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe to come soon) and oh the whole table of desserts!!! I must say my favorite was the dirt dessert I requested from Stephanie!!! I love it and am still snacking on it thank you Steph!!! The day before the party Jason had two of his good friends come over and help him make/build two BPong tables!!! Much to my surprise they actually turned out really nice and it was a huge hit at the party! Most of the night was spent out in the garage! The funniest part of the night was when 4 random girls walked up into our garage bypassed everyone sitting and playing games in there and started to walk into the house. But funny thing was that no one was in the House we were all in the garage so who were these girls trying to get into my house??? Jason and I looked at each other wondering if these girls were invited by either one of us and just didn't tell the other but nope we didn't know them at all and neither did anyone at our house. So right before they went into our house Jason (who was dressed up as Dorthy from the Wizard of OZ long wig and all) ask "Hey who do you know here?" They replied "Rachel" well no one I know or Jason knows has the name of Rachel. So needless to say they walked into the WRONG party!!! ha ha one of our neighbors was also having a party a couple blocks down the street!!! HA HA such a great story for us to remember our first Halloween party! Thank you to everyone who showed up and contributed to the wonderful food feast we had!!!

OUCH!!!

So now that I am not as active as I have been in my past years injuring yourself hurts a lot worse that I remember! Yesterday after school I was practicing with my middle school volleyball girls and might I add I was doing very well before the "fall". So here's what happened...I jumped up with my awesome vertical that I have and blocked one of the girls that hit the ball but when I came down my right foot landed on her foot causeing me to roll my ankle extreamly bad! A few moments later I punched the floor doing all that I could not to say a bad word infront of them and held back my tears and just crawled off the court to the bleachers! I made the managers go get me some ice since I couldn't walk myself and then propped myself up for te rest of practice trying not to die!

The drive home was even more ammusing! Like I said before it was my right ankle so I knew driving home was not going to be easy! I pushed the gas with my right foot and the break with my left! Ha Ha I think my car and all the drivers around were not my friend at the time. It's really hard to break with your left foot!!! Jason does it all the time so I thought it would be to hard but man was I wrong!

Anyway, I made it home safe and hopped all around the house until Jason got home. When he did he made a ice bath in the kitchen sink for me and I would have rather him just have cut my leg off at this point! After that I totally could not walk or even hop back into the bedroom to go to sleep so I made him carry me! Finally, I fell asleep and this morning no difference still hurts and still swollen!!! Should make for a great day teaching of PE and coaching our volleyball game tonight against Lake Highlands!!! I think I'm going to try to find a pair of crutches!!!
