a little boo boo

So my knee is as we speak swelling.

 

I fell at the gas station this afternoon.  I had this great plan see.  I was on complete empty and got it pumping by itself and was going to sit in the passenger seat of my car and read my Bible.  As I TRIED to step over the gas pump cord thing I apparently didn't lift my foot high enough and I tripped over it and landed face first on the cement AT THE GAS STATION!  I hit my knee pretty hard and my hand. 

 

I sat there and thought, "This is so embarassing.  I fell at the gas station.  I'm on the ground AT THE GAS STATION.  Yuck!"  And then I thought, "I don't care if I'm on the ground.  This really hurts."  And then I started crying.  Yeah, I'm such a baby sometimes.

 

But this nice man came running over with his daughterfrom the complete other side of the gas station and helped me up.  And the daughter offerred to pump my gas for me.  But as I said, it was pumping by itself.  But it was nice of them to help.

 

I finished pumping my gas and got back in my car to inspect my "wounds".  No bleeding, just bruising.  And we all know that I bruise like a peach, so this should be interesting tomorrow.  I mean, I still have a bruise on my arm from playing VOLLEYBALL 10 days ago!

 

I drove past the man and his daughter and thanked them again for helping me.  There really are nice people in the world.  I wish I could have bought them dinner or something.  I felt like they deserved more than a "Thank you".

 

Oh, I almost forgot!  Today is my 1 year anniversary at Kingdom Building Ministries!  Isn't that great?!?!?  It feels like I've only been here a month!  It's so crazy.  My boss gave me a nice card and a gift card to Starbucks and so many people on staff wrote me nice notes congratulating me and encouraging me.  It was a nice day!
