My little man

Today is Canaans 9th birthday. I can't believe he is already 9. We celebrated with a party (Saturday) at the Fredericksburg Fieldhouse. All the kids had a blast playing dodgeball and just running and playing. Since today was his actual birthday he got to pick where we would go for dinner. He picked UNO and made his own pizza.

Happy Birthday Canaan, we are so proud of you!

My Birthday

Yesterday was my 21 birthday (actually it was my 32) and we all went to Outback for dinner. YUM! We had a great time. Its hard to believe that I am 32 now.Thankfully I dont feel any older :) I have the greatest family in the world They treated me like a queen and got me some of my favorite perfume, Rapture by Victorias Secret. I am so blessed!

Surgery

I went to get my MRI results this morning. I have a torn miniscus in my knee that needs to be repaired surgically. Thankfully, it can be done with 2 puncture holes and not an open incision. It will be a out patient surgery on January 14th. As weird as it sounds, I am relieved. Before today they would say, well it might be this or that and we had nothing definitive. Now, they know exactly what it is and how to fix it. Be in prayer for me to have a quick and easy recovery.

MRI

Today was my MRI to check for a possible torn menincus in my knee. I was a little nervous because I am claustrophobic. Thankfully I went into the MRI machine feet first. That helped me to not feel "trapped" in in the tube. I was able to listen to music and even dozed off during the final few minutes. I go to the doctor on Wednesday for them to interpert the picture. If it is torn, I'll need surgery to repair it. Its a simple outpatient surgery and there is no incision, just 2 puncture holes. I guess we'll wait and see.

Weekend

Have you ever wished the weekend would last forever? I do, every weekend :) It's so nice to not have to worry about work, school and everything else that goes with the weekdays. I like to wake up, have a nice cup of coffee then just hang out with my family. Its especially nice in the winter because in the summer, Chad works every other weekend. Summer and Spring are my busiest weekend times. We have to worry about getting to softball/ baseballs games, practice and other events. So, I'll enjoy the next few months of lazy weekends until sports start back up again.
