I know it's been a long time....

So a lot has happened and I feel so completely out of the loop. As most of you know, I broke my leg/ankle. I rolled my ankle, but it broke right above it in my leg bones. At first, I just thought okay I broke my leg. Sure, yeah, I'll be laid up for awhile. No big deal. Well, it's been 5 weeks and 2 days since my surgery and it is a big deal. I guess somewhere I just thought I'd get better faster than the doctor said. In 6 weeks I'd be up and going again. I was wrong and it's hitting me like a Mac truck. I never want this to happen again. No more tables for me, ever! Don't any of you think you can either! I don't want this for anyone. Well, maybe one person or two, but I really don't like them. But, it's been really hard as a family. Kassidy took awhile to really get it that I couldn't just pick her up and hold her anymore or get down and play around on the floor. Michael has had to pick up slack in everything. He's been cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, doing laundry, picking out K's clothes, picking out my clothes, following me around and getting my food and drinks. He's done so much! I feel completely useless. Plus, I haven't been able to do anything with my business, so that little bit of money is gone too. Okay, enough. Just wanted to let you know what life has been like with the addition of all the metal in my leg. But, on a positive note I go back to my orthopedist on Thursday and hopefully I'll be able to start putting some weight on my leg. I had gotten completely off the pain meds and was using advil, but then pt started and now VBS this week and I've been hurting pretty badly again, but I'm still taking way less than prescribed.

I'm so excited for the Bird family and their addition. I wish I could've come seen her in the hospital, but it looks like we'll not get to meet her for awhile longer. I know you both are great parents and are doing so well. You have wonderful people loving you through!

My cousin Alex graduated and I'm so proud of him for getting through it. I know he really struggled and he did it!

Plus, Tim and Bethany are both finished with their schooling for their jobs! Congratulations to you both. We are so proud of you!

Thank you all for your prayers. I know I wouldn't be healing as well as I am with out them. I love you all. I can't promise to write again soon, b/c I don't get into the office much, but know I'm praying for all of you and loving you as well.
