I love my dad. It took until this weekend to realize just how much! For any of you who know my dad, will know him as either a mans man kinda scary or intimidating or you'll refer to the soft, gentle sensitive Ray. Over the years we have come to lovingly refer to him as accident prone. A few of my favorites have been the many motorcycle accidents, the one last year where he walked into a tree branch and poked out his eye, Halloween 2006 when he fell off the roof while building our house, the one when I came home from school to him changing out the garbage disposal under the sink and it fell on his head...I got to rush him to the ER that time, the list could seriously go on and on! Well this weekend my dear husband joined the club. He has been roofing houses for 14 years now, working with lots of power tools including nail guns...but this day in particular he got a little too comfortable with that nail gun. He was sitting down shingling and went to scoot forward to do the next square and set his nail gun on his lap. When he went to grab it off his lap he grabbed the trigger and shot himself in the leg!! The nail he shot was no regular nail either, it was made for roofing and had the texture spike things on it so when he went to pull it out of his leg....it didnt come so easily. I'm so proud of him he yanked that thing out of there all by himself! OUCH!! Poor guy. He just ripped it out and kept shingling though so I guess it wasn't too bad. Then I made him go get a tetanus shot..apparently the last tetanus shot he had was in 2002 when he fell off a roof on to staples that went through his hand! I fell in love with an accident prone man, now I must live with the consequences! Haha So later that night we were talking with my parents and my mom said, "I guess its true what they say, girls really do marry their dads" and I told her, "I knew that this morning when he was singing Taylor Swift songs...today was a fairytale no less" haha!!! He knew every word. I dont even know all the words! I think its adorable. Then my dad goes, "Oh yeah I love that song" it was hilarious! I love my Husband so much, and my dad so much more than I thought! I'm so lucky to have such sensitive and thoughtful men in my life. Even if we spend half our lives in the Emergency room:)
The Wound...luckily he took it right in the quad so it got all meat no bones or eyes or anything. Interestingly, when he took off his shorts he had 2 holes in his shorts and one in his leg but none in the G's! They remained holy without holes.

One happy camper...I got him a get well balloon and cold stone. Then we watched a football game Trojans vs Ducks..actually a good game even tho ducks won..while i rubbed his back and hands and feet then we went to haunted world and screamed our heads off then finished the night at Ihop. I cant remember the last time we stayed out till 1 A.M.! So much fun.

I love you baby.
Happy Halloween everyone!
