what a lucky guy...

oh what a week we've had!

So first off... on Saturday afternoon, Cameron had just finished eating the hamburger I made him and offered to clean the dishes. I told him thanks but I would do it. Cameron then suggested that he should finish cleaning our windows on our second story and I thought that was a good idea. When he was up there, I told him he was scaring me and I was not going to look. I went to my desk to do something at my computer when all the sudden I hear, "Whoa... whoa... WHOA!! LINDSAY!" The ladder he was on had slipped from underneath him and down Cameron went too. I looked out the window to find Cameron lying on his back on the ground with the ladder fallen next to him. I instantly thought he had broken his back but found him to only be holding his foot. We got in the car and headed to Kahuku Hospital. The nurses were surprised to only see an injured foot after falling from the second story window and said he was really lucky. It turns out that the only thing that happened was a very sprained ankle.
What a blessing! We were just hoping for a clean break but only a sprain! Cameron was very blessed and we were so thankful that he was safe.
Yes, his sprain has been a huge nuisance but came at a good time with finals.
This is our house...
Cameron fell from our second story window!


Well before the fall, on Friday night Cameron set up a nice date for the two of us. We've both been craving garlic shrimp from the little shacks on the road so that's what we did! We were the last people at Giovanni's and we didn't get very much shrimp but it was so good! Cameron and I took our dinner of coconut rice (thanks Rachele for the recipe...delish!), garlic rice and shrimp and headed to Sunset beach. We were having a perfect time until it started pouring! We quickly ran to the car to eat in there. I put our food on the dashboard but... opps! It slipped off. I tried to catch it but it didn't really work.
So... off to Ted's Bakery where we filled up on chocolate eclairs. We got a movie, tried malasadas, and stayed out of the rain. Cameron's date was perfect and he was so thoughtful to plan it all out even if it didn't go as planned.
I love my wonderful husband.
And I love taking care of him while he's recovering from his fall.

Also, Jeanne and I went to lunch at Inspiration down in Honolulu. Yes, it is an amazing furniture store but there's also an amazing restaurant up top! The food was great, kind of pricey, but if you want to feel like your dining at a trendy New York restaurant with a view of the city, go here! I had an excellent spinach Cesar salad with bacon and radishes and a steak sandwich with aioli sauce that was to die for. :)

I can't believe Cameron fell and he only sprained his ankle. That's a blessing for sure. I hear the place is looking really good. I want to see pictures!!!
