Attack of the Dumpster


Ok, ok, so last night I tell Becki that it would be neat if we figured out how to do our own Blog. 10 minutes later she turns to me and shows me our first post. How about that? Isn't she wonderful?

Today at work I went out to take the trash out to the dumpster, and while it would take pages to describe exactly how it happened I will just tell you the end result; I was attacked!! The gate to the dumpster attacked the web of my left hand, between my thumb and pointer fingers.

Fortunately I work in the medical field and had nurses at my disposal. While the debate heated up on whether or not I needed stitches, I just stood there and bled. The only thing they all knew for sure was that I needed to get a tetanus shot (it will be 10 years since my last tetanus shot this coming November).

While I didn't get any stitches I am bandaged and wrapped up and am having great difficulty in typing this post.

Back to this blog, we hope in using it in connecting my family out on the west coast to us through pictures and video. Also, we will share our Letterboxing adventures here as well.

For those who aren't sure what Letterboxing is, I will explain when I have more dexterity! :-)

Though I will explain the Hart x6, that is our trailname and what other boxers know us as. Our signature stamp is posted above.

Until next time,

Ouch! That sounds horrible. We hope Matt is doing okay.
This is such a neat idea.
Now I feel like when we are in WI, I will still be able to find out what's going on with you and your beautiful family.
This is so much fun.
I just found out about it a couple of days ago, and I am already hooked!!

Welcome to the ever so fun world of blogging! Sorry about the owie - not so much fun, huh! Shouldn't impede the letterboxing, though. We will be evaluating if there are any "easy" boxes in your area for next weekend when we are there - weather, of course, decides all, LOL (well, along with husband and children).

Matt...hope your feeling better now. Sorry to hear of your injury. Letterboxing is wonderful. See places you would never otherwise see. I would like my wife back though as you hooked her on it :0) Dad
