Some things are hard to understand.

This week we found out that Chris' court case has been settled. It's been settled, not in the most fair way in my opinion, but it is over. There is a sense of relief in just saying that, I know he is glad that it's all over.

For those of you who don't know the background here it is: In 2004, Chris was working as a tech at Lander's Ford. Another company (who shall remain nameless for the purposes of this blog grr) contracted labor out to Lander's. This employee had never driven a car before, and spoke no English. He got behind the wheel of a car, and drove it petal to the metal into the shop building. Long story short, Chris got ran over. It broke both of his legs and several other injuries. He spent almost a month in the MED having multiple surgeries and then a year or more of physical therapy. There were times people told him he may never walk again, there were times when people said he would never be the same....he beat EVERY ODD against him. So now, the court case is over. I don't think any amount of money can be placed on what happened to him. But it is over. That's what matters.

The other night after we found out it was all over he said that the best thing that came out of that situation was me. (After he returned to work they gave him a service line job were he was out in front dealing with customers.) He said that if he did not get hurt, he would have never been on the service line, he would have been in the back and never seen me. He said it's kind of like that song "God Bless the Broken Road." That's when I knew it....that song has to be in our wedding somehow, someway.

I can remember when I first met Chris and he told me the story of what happened to him. It made me like him even more. He has such a great story to tell. He beat all odds!

Everything. Everything. Everything happens for a reason.
