Time to catch up!

I think school has taken over my life! I have time to do fun stuff, but not to write any of it down. I'm MAKING the time to do so right now.


For Heather's 3o-something birthday, we went to Lagoon! It was the first time for Marie, Jana, and I. While it wasn't even close to Six Flags Magic Mountain, it was a lot of fun. I got that roller coaster high I've been living without for the past few years. I missed that high.





We had a movie night at the Doxey's to celebrate Halloween. We were told to come in costume, so we did. We ate yummy homemade chilly (thank you Ashley!) and yummy corn bread (thank you Jana!) and had yummy pumpkin cookies (thank you Marie!) and the apartment was done up all spooky. We watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Legend of Sleep Hallow, and Arsenic and Old Lace. Good times!

Me, I'm a mis-matched Care Bear.
Julia is obviously an angel.
Ashley's an 80's Chick
Marie's a hunter
Jana's Quail Man!
Doxey's a Honorary Coach for the Jazz

David came to visit and was here for Halloween! We begged him to show us his bullet wound. He even wore the shirt he was wearing when he got shot on Halloween. He was "A Missionary Who Got Shot." It was awesome.
This is the Bloody Shirt! David said that at one point someone tried to help his take off his back pack, but that as soon as they removed the strap the wound started gushing blood all over, so they put the strap back on to keep pressure on it. Gross.
The front view. Yep, that's where the bullet went in!
Here's the back view, where the doctor's had to pull the bullet out cuz it was so far inside.

Here are some more fun pictures for the Dance Party at the House.
Becca's so pretty!
Jana as Tonks
Red's a tatoo artist. And no, those aren't real, and neither is the nose ring
Me, I'm an aviation captain
Marie's a hunter again
The boy scout and the cub scout. Cute.
Mummy Fingers

Nice, huh? The hunter shoots the missionary! haha

Your brother got very lucky. It appears as though the round traveled in a sort of circuitous route through the pec. There's a lot of important stuff right in that area, and for him to be alive suggests he got very lucky.

A flying bullet is a very strange thing, and they're known to detour. Has he lost the range of motion in his arm?

He should melt the copper jacket of the bullet down and make it into a piece of jewelry. So long as he wears it, he'll live for ever. That's what the old wives will tell you, anyway. :)
