June or December?
Steve and I had our first date on June 11th, 2006. We took a walk through a park (which is now "our park") and talked for hours. So today marks our 3rd year of being together! I kind of want to start celebrating our wedding anniversary on this day because December is such a busy, hectic month its hard to plan anything or really make time for that anniversary. Especially if we wanted to go do anything seeing as how all our money in December goes to buying gifts for friends and family. Because this is just a spur of the moment idea we probably wont start celebrating in June til next year, but I am going to have a few surprises for him today. Nothing big but just to show him how happy I am to be married to him. What do you think? Do you think its a good idea or a bad idea to celebrate our anniversary in June instead of December? I cant beleive how fast time has gone by. It doesnt seem like its been 3 years already.

It's Official!
Yep! Today is officially one of those days I just want to scream and pull my hair out! Ever had one of those days? I hope I'm not the only one for the sake of my sanity. But I also hope you will say "no, never had a day like that" because they are not fun! The only thing keeping me going is Dairy Queen and my cute Husband! He spent his lunch hour driving to get me my favorite shake to cheer me up.

M-U-R-R-A-Y
I saw this TAG and thought it would be kinda fun and I'm a boring person with nothing else to blog about. But first, a small update. I am back at work now.

Other news? well not really anything. Steve is still work harder than anyone I know, while still trying to help me out with everything he can. He is truly the BEST husband ever. I am so greatful for him. I did find out today that I am gonna sing in the Stadium Choir at the Stadium of Fire with a friend. Im so excited. I love singing and think this will be such a great experience that probably only happens once. So Im really excited for that. Im even more excited about that because I have always wanted to go there on the 4th of July but never have. I hope its a great show this year. Thats about it.. here is the TAG now.

7. Were you a nerd? Not at all
8. Were you on any varsity teams?No, I quit basketball and softball when it stopped being fun and too political
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?No but my senior year I hardly ever went, and if I went I would ditch class.. so I technically should have been.
10. Can you still sing the fight song?Heck yes I can. Im singing it right now. If only you all could hear me.

So Fresh and So Clean
Ahhh! Stitches out and I'm all sorts of happy. Mostly because of the AMAZING shower I was able to take tonight... with both legs in I might add. I love feeling clean! It's pretty much the best feeling in my opinion. So here are a few pictures of, well, me after my first full body
shower in 3 weeks :) and then some of my feet. 3 weeks down, only 5 to go!
I don't think I could have a bigger smile on my face
Im pretty sure all of you are wishing you had as cool as shoes as me. This is what I am wearing currently. Jealous?
Ok so a shot of both of my feet. Im proud to say you can see my bones in my feet and my ankle bone. It's amazing. They have been swollen for who knows how long. Pretty much years. Im glad my toes are not looking like little sausages now.
Here is the incision, scar on my right foot. Its been the most part of my recovery, and why its 8 weeks. Thank you toe! Its pretty long and my foot is oh so dry. I cant wait til I dont have to have it all bandaged up so it can get some air.
And this is how I be gettin' around these days. I have become PRO at the wheelchair and Semi- Pro at the crutches. Its an adjustment for both but I'm glad Im getting the hang of it.

The Little Things
We all take things for granted. Basic things, simple things. It's normal, isn't it? You live in a routine, for the most part, and the more routine, the more dependable the thing is, the more you stop noticing it. For instance, you don't really notice each time you take a breath, do you? You expect your heart and your lungs to just work for you each day.
Routine can be good like that. It can, at its best, free up you're mind. I like routine. No, actually, I have recently come to realize that I crave routine. I crave being able to wake up at 5 am each morning, showering, picking out something to wear. making my lunch, kissing my husband goodbye, driving to work, etc. You get my point. I know it's only been 2 weeks since my surgery, but each day it leaves me lying in bed, doing nothing. I have a lot of time to think, which brings me to my post today..I take too much for granted.
Health is something that too many of us take for granted. And if we don't take it for granted we don't pay it the respect it deserves. We just assume our body will move when we command it to. We assume that and we take it for granted. Really.
I have probably another 5-6 weeks to go lying here and I hope that this experience leaves me with a thankful heart and mind. And not to take for granted my ability to walk, or run, or breathe. I'm very thankful for the body I have been given. I have my challenges but I am thankful for them. I think they make me stronger and a better person. At least I hope that's the case.
You can't live your life taking note of every single thing. But every now and again, examine your world,your life and realize how good you have it.
And just remember, like Good Charlotte sings "Little things made me who I am today."
Chorus:
The little things,
little things they always hang around
the little things
little things they try to break me down
the little things
little things they just wont go away
the littles things
little things made me who i am today
