Something Beautiful, Something Ugly

I ran two errands today that produced dramatically different end results:
1) I picked up our engagement rings. They're gorgeous and I can't wait until we begin wearing them.
















2) I went to the doctor to get antibiotics for an infected blister. Apparently snowboarding for two days in boots 1/2 size too small and then doing a late night hike in the backwoods base of Mt. Hood in shoes but no socks (with the help of the jolly juice Tuaca) does not create a healthy environment for my feet. I'll put the more pleasant points about my vacation on my travel blog in a few days, but for now, here are the gross details about my blister:















I haven't mastered the lighting with this camera, but there's a reason why you barely see an ankle bone; the swelling! If the redness spreads any more, I have to go into the ER to get intravenous antibiotics. Smooth job, steph.














You can kind of see the pen marks above my ankle on this shot; that's where the infection is contained... Gross!
