It's a new day

This morning we woke up warm and cozy at the Hotel Wheeler. Bryson went to work, and stayed all night doing I don't know what (they only had a generator for power, so they couldn't actually run all the mail).

Then he came home and stopped by our house on the way. The power is still off, and he noted a large tree limb on the roof. He was concerned that the branch may have gone through the roof, so he climbed up the icy ladder on to the icy roof to check that out. He determined not to remove the tree limb, in case it had done some damage and the insurance adjusted needed to see it in position. It's still really cold here (15° F), and it iced all day yesterday and snowed part of the night. So anywho, Bryson stepped onto the ladder to come down from the roof and the ladder slipped (as it was sitting on ice). So the ladder went down, Bryson and all. He lived :D. He injured his leg, his wrist, his back, his head.... but he's not positive that anything is broken. He thinks he may've fractured his wrist. Nevertheless, he sees no reason not to go to work tonight.

Other than that we're sitting around playing and disrupting the Wheelers. Bryson's napping so he can work tonigh, C-man and D-Ball have played guitar hero and some other wii thing, I believe. now they're trying to find something more entertaining to do. We've all showered and we're ready for the day.

I understand it's like the next ice age down there, but why on earth would bryson climb to the roof to see if the branch went through?! Couldn't he have just walked through the house to see if there was a branch coming through? honestly, that brother of mine didn't think that one through...although, he came home at night or during the day? Still, it's rediculous that he injured himself for such a silly reason (especially if he was already thinking an insurance adjuster would need to see it...).

This is not finished, but I haven't time to finish it just now. I do have more to say. please don't feel obligated to read this.

B was off yesterday because mail doesn't run on holidays (hallelujah, pass the gravy!) and he did spend some time watching the olympics. I really wish I enjoyed the olympics more than I do, but I do not. Sometimes I can sit there and watch the snowboarders or speed skaters or whatever, but I definitely don't get all excited about it and set aside time in my day for the olympics. In addition to that though, B also put the Christmas boxes back up in the attic (can I get another HALLELUJAH!!!) and finished removing the wallpaper from the master bathroom walls. I somehow did not realize that I couldn't just go in there and paint it now. First it has to be textured, and then primed. Oh, the tediousness of it all. I just want it painted already!! I am *SO* convinced it's going to look less flaming pink once the walls are a more neutral color. Today I took DBall, Cman and Bman to see Big River at the Rogers Little Theater. I almost didn't go- because I didn't

Has it been 3 years?! 🤔

There’s way too much to catch up on i think?! I homeschooled Kupcake all last year with two amazing friends and their kids. DBall is a Sr at Har-Ber HS this year and is on the debate team and in Camerata choir. He makes amazing grades and it’s super bittersweet for me that he’s graduating next Spring. We just got back from Coleman Family Reunion in Bear Lake, UT. The week prior DBall went to EFY at BYU, while Kupcake and I spent the week with friends who now live in West Jordan. I was able to go to the Provo City Center Temple (w/Susie) and the Jordan River Temple. Bryson is still heat treating and is currently working and living in Ardmore, OK, M-F. Yay. My mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in March. She’s having a small reunion next weekend that the kids and I will drive out to. Bryson will drive down after work on Friday night.
