Happy Happy Happy Maybe GREAT News!!

So, I was a little bored today and thought .... well maybe I should check the PA alternate list to see if I have moved up at all from #6 ....... I HAVE!!! HOLY COW!!
I AM AT #2!! I just might make it this year!! I still don't want to get my hopes up but it is so close it hurts!!

Progress

My bruises are looking pretty nasty today, but the good news is my left leg is starting to feel better. My right leg is still hurting and pretty nasty looking. We went back to the dr. again last night and then again this morning and we found out that my right knee is infected and I have a very large hematoma in my right calf that is infected also. So I have been getting injections of antibiotics to help that get better. We also had my right ankle re-xrayed, and it is sprained so they have braced it up for me, which does help me walk better but it hurts the bruises :-) ... all in all I guess I am doing good. I am lucky to have such an amazing husband who has catered to my every need. I can't do anything on my own, so he has been the one taking care of me, he has been so patient and kind and jumps up at any small request I make, I love him so much and I am the luckiest woman alive!! :-)

Camping Fun

Friday night we went camping with a couple of our friends and had a blast. We all went on go-cart / 4-wheeler / motorcycles rides, and just enjoyed spending some fun time around the campfire with each other.

I kicked that propellers butt

Sunday night I was in a freak boating accident. It wasn't any one's fault except mother natures but I wanted to post some cool pics, and just a warning the pics are a little gruesome and they don't do justice to what my legs really look like but all the same they are pretty cool.

So for a brief description of what happened, we were out tubing on Sunday, and a storm was coming in, so we decided to pull me and Janessa one more time then call it a day, well on the way back in, a big gust of wind and a large current pushed my legs under the boat as I was lifting Janessa out of the water, I started screaming as my legs hit the propeller and Scott instantly grabbed my life jacket and pulled me out of the water (go SUPERMAN!! he is my all time hero) someone grabbed my legs and helped lay me down on the boat and Scott then took me to the E.R. .... Considering what happened, I don't think the damage is too bad, I had to get quite a few stitches and I have some massive bruises, but I am grateful I feel my legs (it means they are still there :-) ) even though they hurt a little. Scott has been absolutely amazing in helping me with everything I need, and hopefully I will be healed within a few weeks. I go back to the hospital tonight to get the bandages changed and get things checked, I think all will go well though. My ankle and knees have swollen up pretty big, but I just look like I have elephant legs, so its ok. The bruising is coloring my legs more and more as the day continues, but that is to be expected. I will take more pictures tonight and post them tomorrow to keep you all updated :-) I think I won the battle of my legs vs. propeller ...

First Time for Everything

So this was my first attempt at riding a motorcycle, and I absolutely loved it. This bike is our friends Ralph and Samantha's sons bike, it is a suzuki 70. And yes I did ride it in heals :-) go me :-) I did eventually lay it down on the grass, who knew popping a wheely would be so wobbly :-) I tried to pop a wheely and I feel over, all I had to do was put my feet down and stand up but the bike tipped over, everyone got in a good laugh at me. But I still had a blast trying to learn how to ride it

Old Idaho State Penitentiary in Boise

Broadie and I were able to see the Old State Pen while we were in Boise. It was totally creepy and haunted but we loved seeing it and hearing all about its history. Here are some pic's.

Here are some pictures of us at the Boise Zoo. I LOVED this zoo, I think I almost like it more then the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake.

Boise Vacation

Broadie and I were able to go visit Scott for a week while he is working in Boise and we were able to see so many amazing things, so I will have a few posts from Boise, but here is the start of them. The first thing we did when we got there was check into the Hyatt Boise (Scott and I are big fans of the Hyatt Hotels becaue of our honeymoon) and it was amazing. While Scott went to work, Broadie and I went to play, during the day we visited the Discovery center, this place was cool, and so much fun. It was a science heaven come true, the kids could play with all sorts of science / physics stuff and learn a ton. It was an awesome museum. After that Scott met up with us and we went to the Anne Frank Memorial. It was very pretty and there were lots of really neat quotes from Anne Frank and a few others.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook Broadie and I spent another day at the Basque Museum, which taught us a lot about the people who settled in Idaho, and their past as Whalers. Broadie and I also had a blast riding a peddle boat on the Boise Green Belt. I love Boise, it has so many fun outdoor activities, people travel everywhere on bikes or rollerblading, it was just such a fun city to visit.
