Gimps United!!

I went down to Provo last weekend to visit some friends.  It was Homecoming week at BYU and we wanted to go to the pancake breakfast that was being held in conjunction with the Homecoming parade.  All was well and good until we woke up on Saturday morning only to find that it was cold and a little snowy.  I was staying at Brad’s house (an old friend of mine) and we were going to meet up with Emily, a mutual friend of ours.  When we realized that certain climatic conditions would make being outside less than idyllic, we called Emily and suggested that we just make breakfast at her house.  Emily agreed and Brad and I drove to her house, after picking up a few necessities from the store such as bacon, milk, and strawberries.  As we pulled up, Emily was walking down the steps of her porch to discard some old magazines when she tripped on a garden hose twisting her ankle and tearing some ligaments in her foot.  Ouch.  Brad and I ran to her and Brad helped to carry her inside where she was able to call another friend who had access to some crutches for her to use.  It made for an interesting day but still, we were able to hang out and have a good time in the process (and even sneak a nap in).  I just wonder what other people were thinking when we went to the mall that night to see a movie.  It’s rare enough to see one person on crutches but to see two broken people hanging out together must have been a little strange.
