An Eventful Birthday

Yesterday was Bran's 20th birthday, and it started out great. He worked in the morning and then got off at 2 so we could go to the Storm-Blakey wedding. While he was at work I made his "birthday dinner" that his mom made for him every year (a yummy taco salad) and I baked him a cake. When we got back from the wedding, we ate dinner and then went to help the Blakeys take down some of the reception stuff. Bran and Kelly had to move Austin's photo booth to the Tollefsons garage, so the three of us drove over there to drop it off. Austin had borrowed Bran's ladder rack for his truck, and it was at the Tollefsons, so Bran decided that he and Kelly should grab it and take it back to our house. While attempting to get the huge piece of metal up on the back of Kelly's truck, the guys dropped it and it cut Bran's toe really badly. We drove him home and Kelly was able to clean the cut out with peroxide, but it wouldn't stop bleeding. Bran wanted to just super glue and duct tape the cut, but Kelly and I were able to convince him that we needed to go to the emergency room. They had to take an x-ray of his foot to make sure that the toe wasn't broken, and it turns out that it had broken at some point, but wasn't from this (he's broken all of his toes at one time or another). The doctor put 8 stitches in him and sent him home.

When we got home, we invited Sean, Tyler, Jen and Rachel to have birthday cake with us :)

It was quite eventful, but Bran is doing well. He's so tough - I think mostly so I won't worry about him. I'm hoping we don't have to do the whole emergency room thing again for quite a while!
