I went to YW's last night. We went for a hike to get ready for Trek. We were going to go to one spot and when we got there some other ward beat us there (ok, really like 3 wards). This place had pretty wide trails so I brought Luke along. But since the trail was full of other people we went to another trail. This one was not so wide and after pushing Luke in the stroller for about 5 minutes I realized that we were not going to be able to take the stroller. So we stashed the stroller in the trees and I got to carry Luke the rest of the way. That rest of the way was really about an hour or longer. We crossed 4 bridges, one of which I missed and stepped in the water soaking my right shoe. On the way back instead of using the bridges I just walked through the streams. It was actually pretty fun despite the wet shoes and carrying 25 extra pounds, oh yeah and Luke throwing up on me.
As I was dropping the girls off, one of them needed to get her shoes in the back, so I hopped out and opened the back. As she was getting her shoes out she knocked one of the stroller wheels and it fell hitting my now bare toes. I almost started crying then and there but I kept my composure. What are the odds that I would survive a hike, carrying my 25 lb. 18 month old, and then get wounded by my #@$* stroller wheel??
It is the toe next to my big toe, you can kind of see the bruising. It's not broken but it hurts like a mother. I won't be running anymore this week. To tell you the truth, I am kind of relieved. I am loving having an excuse to sit down!

Ouch! I am so sorry. It sounds like the hike was pretty eventful. Enjoy staying off your feet for a couple days!
Hiking carrying a kid is not fun, you're a trooper.
Ouch, I'm sorry about your toe!
Your toe looks awful, should I start calling you Bella (so sorry but I am reading the series) Are you still going to be able to go on Trek?
Looks like it is time for a pedicure! Come over and we will go get one together!!!!
At least you had your toes painted for the photo! :) I hope the reunion goes well. Call me when you get home.
Just think of the whole experience as good preparation for the Trek.
Hey Natalie, it is Susan R... from highschool. That is awesome that you are running! Man sorry about your toe. It's been fun to see people on the highschool blog that I haven't seen for so long.
OUCH!! First of all...I can't believe you decided to carry Luke. You are amazing! What an eventful night! Hope your toe feels better!
You have cute toes.
