I'm Baaaack

Ok, I know, I know. I suck at keeping a blog up. However, you all can't say that I didn't warn you because I did. And yet again, I am posting a blog with NO PICTURES. Why do I do this, you ask. Because the only moment I get to post anything is between bites of my lunch at work and even then I shouldn't be doing it.

Basically I wanted to update everyone on us. Chad and I are good. We went on vacation last week to Arkansas with our family. That went well. It is always nice to return home with your own bed, a variety of clothes choices, your own bathroom and shower, and things like that. It was nice to spend the time with family as well. I will try this week to post some pics of our vacation because my camera-happy husband took 134 pictures, so there should be plenty to share.

Before we went on vacation, I tore my ACL in the volleyball tournament. We were well on our way to winning first in that tournament, too and we had to forfeit as Chad and I both had to head to the emergency room. It stinks to have to forfeit when you KNOW you are going to win. However, we did place first in the overall season, so I guess there isn't much to complain about. As far as my knee goes, I am doing physical therapy this week and I have an appointment this Friday to schedule surgery. I will have to have surgery on my ACL if I ever want to play sports again and do the things that I do. That was a no brainer to me. However, the surgery options are a bit scary and it freaks me out a bit, but I guess no matter what, I have to figure out what I am going to do by Friday.

I just want to take the time to thank our friends. We have had an awesome support group with everything that has happened with my knee and Chad and I are continually blessed every day when we take time to reflect on what we have. We have had a lot of e-mails and phone calls offering help and assistance when I have surgery. You guys are awesome! Chad and I do want you all to know that we do know what wonderful people we are surrounded with and we know that we never want to take that for granted. You know you are loved when you have people sitting in ER's, dr.'s offices, sending constant check-up e-mails, and phone calls constantly. And you all give up your own personal time to help us. Thank you all and we really appreciate each and every one of you. We have the best friends in the world!!!!

Stay tuned for pictures later this week...
