Random Randoms

Well it's been a while so I figured I'd throw in some random Good/Bad updates on what's been going on in the world of Luke.

Good: My birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Caleb and Cass ended up coming into town that night instead of the following afternoon so I got to spend some time with him before heading up to visit the parents for the weekend.

Bad: Packers lost to the Cowboys not so much because Favre got injured, but because they played absolutely horribly.

Good: While visiting the parents they took us to a "Paint your own ceramic thingamajig" type place where I painted a coffee mug and got a lot of compliments. It has been many years since I've done an art piece so it felt good.

Good: On the way home we stopped to visit Mike and Lauralye so Caleb could finally meet Hayden. Within seconds of Caleb holding Hayden for the first time, Hayden threw up on Caleb and then laughed.

Bad: Last Friday (12/07/07) Katie rolled our SUV while on the way to work. She hit a patch of ice on an off ramp and went over the side, rolling down the hill 3/4 of a full roll leaving it resting on the driver's side.

Good: Katie was completely unharmed. Not a single cut or bruise. Later in the day her right thigh was a little sore but that's all. Seatbelts save lives and miracles to happen. Also the insurance agent working with us has been amazingly helpful.

Bad: Despite the damage looking minor a lot of little things added up and it would just be way too expensive to fix our beloved Harley Quinn. Chuck put it best, "Goodbye Harley, we harley knew you."

Good: After the insurance pay out we discovered that we owe WAY less on the SUV than we originally thought, giving us more breathing room for buying a new vehicle and soon. Plus this means we won't have to struggle to buy Christmas presents for friends and family, though they are obviously all supportive and understanding of our situation.

Good: The day after the accident Mike and Lauralye asked me to be Hayden's Godfather, and I couldn't be more honored.
