1 Sexy Boot

I would love to say that I successfully finished "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" without any major injury. I mean, I almost did, does that count? The first show of closing week, I rolled my foot when coming down from a lift/jump and instead of landing on the bottom of my foot like you're supposed to, I landed on the top of my foot. I wasn't about to let myself fall and ruin the show, so I made myself remain standing. No one in the audience could even tell anything had happened. Way to go me :)
The downside was that my entire weight landed on the top of my foot. Not good.

I finished that show and then did 3 more shows to finish up closing weekend. No one could tell I was injured during a show because I still did everything full out.

After it happened, my foot immediately swelled up and grew a huge goose egg. The next day, the bruise came out and now more than half of my foot is a very ugly greenish/brown/blue/black color.

Because Jeff loves me very much, he was so worried about me and he's making me take care of myself. So I went to a podiatrist to see what is actually wrong. Turns out I tore a couple ligaments in my foot, gave myself a Level 3 sprain, and possibly a stress fracture. I am stuck in a boot 24/7 for the the next few weeks. He says if I'm lucky, I might get to take it off for my wedding. Seriously, I could cry right now.

A little overwhelming...

I didn't go to my singles ward for over a month because of being out of town on the weekends and such. But this past Sunday it all caught up with me. First of all, I was asked to meet with a member of the Bishopric to get a calling. I went in expecting a council member calling because that's typically what they give to new ward members and I am definitely a new member. However, that was not the case. They called me to be the secretary in the Relief Society presidency! Haha, I just can't seem to get away from it. I guess now I'll get to know the girls in the ward really fast! They also told me I'd be teaching Relief Society next Fast Sunday.
Then I get asked to give a talk in Sacrament meeting next Sunday! Wow! Let's just pile it all on at once.
But really though, I'm happy to serve and I'm so excited about my new calling. We have an awesome presidency and I can't wait to get to know the sisters in my ward and to feel like an integral part of this ward.
