The Holy Wall....

As if Chris didn't have enough accidents in the last few weeks, here is yet another to add to the broken leg saga. Stairs can be so difficult when you are on crutches!

Chris was home alone and the doorbell rang. It was the missionaries coming over to dinner. We have been helping them teach an investigator that was actually baptized last night. Congratulations Caitlin!! I hadn't arrived home yet. He was in a hurry to get to the door, got about 4 steps from the bottom of the stairs and lost his balance. We are lucky that he didn't hurt himself more. Yes, that hole is the size of Chris' head because that is what created it! His head went right through the wall when he landed. Thankfully no concussion or injury. And also that he didn't hit a stud. I think he might have been knocked unconscious. So he finally made it to the door and had quite the story to tell. When I got home, I just kept laughing. After, of course, I asked if he was ok. I know....again...I'm a terrible wife. But at least I have a sense of humor.

He fell so hard that he even bent his metal crutch!

So of course the next day I was off to Home Depot to get stuff to fix the wall. I really enjoy doing things like this! I'm into projects. Like our bathrooms that I remodeled earlier this year. I like to consider myself a "Jill of all Trades".

"Whistle while you work".....It was a big hole so this time I had to cut sheetrock for it. Since the studs were really far away, I had to get creative. Well......the people at Home Depot helped with the idea. No metal mesh patches for this guy.

Then of course the fun part. I LOVE this stuff!!

It only got a little messy. But it was still fun.

What hole? The paint was still drying so it was a little off color. Now you can't even tell. But the story is priceless!

Thanks Dad for giving me the confidence to do stuff like this among many many other things!
