Litteraly! I fell and I couldn't get up...It was pretty awful. So here is the story.
Steve's car has been a pain in our butts as of lately. Everyday there is a new problem with it. Well, the past couple weeks it's been doing this really fun thing called not wanting to start for us. Yeah, I lied its actually not fun at all. We took the car to get the battery tested and they said the battery was fine, just low. So we spent our Friday night at Auto Zone (I know, how romantic right?) and got the battery charged. It started right up once we put it back in. Fantastic! We were thrilled to have it running again. Well, the next morning Steve couldn't start it again. So we are thinking at this point its the alternator. I know you are asking "Katy? What is the point of this story, it has nothing to do with fallin." I promise it does just bare with me. Alright, so Sunday night after a totally awesome party for our cute niece Lily we arrived home and it was snowing pretty bad so we thought it would be best for us to try to jump his car that was parked in the road so that the plows could get by. We pulled my car up beside his and popped the hoods. Where his car was it was directly in front of a really big snow bank that had just grown bigger with each snow fall, and never melted just got solid like ice. The only way to hook the cables up to the battery was for us to stand on the snow bank. So I had steve go start the other car and I stood on the tall snow bank to hook up the cables. Everything was great, it was holding me just fine..that is until I decided to walk on it to go and get in the car to start it. I took about 3 steps and fell through the snow and fell hard. It was like falling through sharp glass. The snow was so packed that is was so hard. I felt like I twisted both ankles and hurt my face as well. Steve rushed over to help me and quickly got me inside. I was right that it felt like glass because we took of my shoe to see that my foot was bleeding. It felt worse than it was. By this time it was 11pm and insta cares are closed and I wasnt about to pay 150$to go to the ER so I toughed it out, tossed and turned all night and the next day on my lunch break I went to the insta care to find out that I have a cracked shin bone and tonr ligaments and tendons in my left foot. YAY! That was sarcastic. We are supposed to be going to Tennesse on Thursday and I am not looking forward to wearing this beautiful black boot.
Isn't it so cute and stylish. Luckily I am very familiar with this boot, I have worn one several times with all the feet problems I have had throughout my life.
So moral of the story is unless you weigh maybe under oh I dunno, maybe 50 lbs dont stand on big snow hills. If you happen to not take my advice and get hurt just like me, I have a pretty boot you can borrow.

Ouch - that sounds painful. I'm so sorry! :( The hazards of snow and ice are just one of the many reasons I am not a fan of Utah winters. I hope it gets better quickly. :)
oh Katy, I am so sorry that that happened to you! those darn feet of yours. I think the boot is soooo cute. I'm sorry!:( Let me know if I can do anything for you!
What a bummer! Between your health problems and car problems you two just never seem to get a break. And that's just lame!
Hope all goes well in the getting better process. And what the heck is the deal with Steve's car?
That sucks girl, I'm so sorry. Let me know if I can do anything. Maybe I can bring some decorations to put on that awesome boot!
All the people in Tennesee will think you are starting a new style.
OW! Im sorry that sucks so bad!! I hope you heal really fast!! Good Luck!! PS we missed you guys on Sunday!!
That is awful Katy! I hope that you have a quick recovery and that you don't have to wear the boot for too long, but I'm sure that you will rock it! Did you ever get the car fixed though?
You poor thing! That's so crazy. I hope you still enjoy your trip! We'll have to get together when you get back. Now I understand why I haven't from you in a while. Get better!!
I'm sorry Katy! That stinks-eth!
Holy cow Katy!!! Stop hurting yourself! lol. That is no good! Are you ok now? Are they going to have to do surgery or are they tendons that will just heal on their own? Either way I'm sure it will hurt for a while. I'm sorry!
