Week of Mishaps.....

So I'm hoping that the beginning of December is not an indication of how the month will go! :) This past week has definitely had it's ups and downs!! Despite it all...I can honestly say that if Charming C and I didn't have each other, we'd have a much harder time dealing with all of our "downs" and not as much fun with our "ups"!

December 2nd was the 2 year anniversary of me dating Charming C. I have always said that two was my favorite number and now I'm beginning to wonder if I need to pick another "lucky" number. I was born on the second, started dating Charming C on the second, and have always thought things in pairs were better!!

Well.....that was very true in a way of December 2nd. You see...I told Charming C I wanted us to have a big celebration of our anniversary and had bought us tickets to the Trans Siberian Orchestra in Raleigh for our anniversary. I just knew lights, music, and fire would be a great way to celebrate!! Charming C took this literally and provided a little midday entertainment for me. I didn't need TWO bouts of fire, lights, and music from a firetruck!!

Charming C drove up to our driveway with his work truck on fire!! I heard this commotion and went out to see the entire truck engulfed in flames! He had to push the burning truck to the side of the yard before the extra tank of diesel gas used for work equipment exploded...needless to say we were at the mercy of the volunteer fire department and very thankful that the house didn't catch fire...but it was a close call!!

We still had our TSO light and fire experience in Raleigh...Charming C was a little tired of seeing flames by the end of the day! I told him in the future to leave the entertainment to me!

So I'm thinking this is all the excitement I needed....but Charming C thought that I should have more. He thought it would be a great idea to jump off a 10,000 gallon storage barrel when his ladder went missing. Needless to say I spend the afternoon at the urgent care getting his ankle checked out for possible fractures or sprains! He is now being "nursed" for a very sore ankle that he can't walk on.

And since we are a very competitive couple with our desire to "out do" each other.... I couldn't let his crippling ankle be the only thing that we dealt with today b/c you know...we like things in two's!! I jammed my finger in the fridge door trying to get an ice pack for him and now I have a bleeding, throbbing finger. So Charming C had to wipe my tears hobbling in the kitchen as I held my hurt hand. Needless to say we are both in bed at 7pm...we need a new week and need to stop all the drama!!

Hopefully these two days of mishaps will be the only thing we have in "pairs!"
