I love visits: Day 46/365

My brother and his girlfriend, Kelli, came to visit today and they brought Trevor (Kelli's son) with them! I love when we get to see them and I have really missed them lately! Trevor is pretty well always excited to see us. Both times he has come to the house he has really seemed to enjoy it as well! I love that little boy so very much and I absolutely adore Trevor! I am also so very excited that my big brother has found an awesome girl that makes him happy! Anyhow, this is going to be short, and I actually do not have any Olympic news to share today....I have been on and off watching all day with the nephew here and shopping, and then Josh, Kelli and Trevor showing up. I did however see a spoiler that the women's gymnastics team gets gold....but shhhh.....it hasn't happened yet! One of my friends just put it on Twitter earlier. And oh! I lied....Phelps has officially become the most decorated Olympian in history! congrats you fish....congrats!

"medium well": day 45/365

I am only done "medium well" in the words of my doctor. He was going to attempt to take some of the stitches out, but when he was taking them out, he just gave me a look that told me he was sympathetic, and said "sorry, you are only done medium well." that being said.....it is going to be another week before these darn stitches come out. I mean, I am glad that they are being thorough and making sure I am good and healed, it just stinks that it is taking this long. Honestly, right now, I just want to walk...like really walk, not hop. The crutches aren't bad, they just make it where it takes a bit longer to get places. I am getting pretty good at the crutches though.....*knock on wood* i haven't had any major slip up since the initial one when I came home. I have had to catch myself on the walls and on the stair railings a couple of times, but it hasn't been too bad. I am definitely ready to walk again though, but this is the way it needs to be! I think they were hoping that by giving me smiley face wrap, that recovery would be a bit more bearable! At this present moment in time, I can't tell if it is the smiley face tape, or the percocet....but I am feeling better! Please continue keeping me in your thoughts and prayers....I can feel them everyday as I hit little bumps in the road, and little frustrations at not being able to do very much on my own. In other news: I got to take a shower today.....it felt glorious! and in Olympic news: Missy Franklin won her first medal today in the Olympics! Such an exciting day for so many Olympic athletes today! :) peace out peoples!

Team USA: day 44/365

Well….the boys did it! They medaled! They got silver, but hey….we can’t win them all! I have to say, my favorite sports are the water sports. I loved watching water polo, sync. diving, relays, and all things water sports today. I got to also see Vollmer of Team USA not only win a gold medal, but also set a World Record today! I also really like the volleyball events! Whether they are team or couples, sand or gym….I mean, those are overall my favorite sports outside of the Olympics too so I guess it makes sense……can’t wait to see what tomorrow hold for Team USA!

hottie with a body!: day 43/365

Two words: RYAN LOCHTE! He is the new face for Team USA swimming. He was up against Michael Phelps (the crazy guy that got 8 gold medals out of 8 in Beijing, China). Not only did Ryan BEAT Phelps, but he beat EVERYONE! He got first in his heat and if I remember correctly, he got first overall as well. Plus, let’s face it…..he’s a hottie with body…..which makes the win that much more sweet. It means that whenever he wins, we get to see his shirtless self in front of the camera. He swims on a 4x100M relay team tomorrow with Cullen Jones, Michael Phelps, and Nathan Adrian. Wishing the boys all the boest of luck…….go Team USA!

Olympics!: day 42/365

OK, I am usually not one for the Olympics….like I usually don’t even know when they are. However, this year, for some reason unknown to me, I am really excited to watch them! Tonight, I watched the opening ceremony and it was PHENOMENAL I really liked the rings that spit down fire, and I also really liked the Olympic torch ceremony part. I mean, it was all excellent, but those parts were my favorite. The part that stunned me the most was Jackie Chan and Queen Elizabeth. Seriously, how do you begin to approach that….I can see this convo going on right now…. “Mrs. Queen, I have this crazy idea, and I want to know what you think” “hit me with it” “ok, I think you should parachute into the Olympics with James Bond….thoughts?” “Why the heck not You Only Live Once!” That’s right….I totally just made a YOLO reference in my blog….get over it….it was funny! Anyhow, I am just taken in and can’t wait to see what the rest of the Olympics have in store!

leaping froggies!: day 41/365

This little guy gave mom quite the scare tonight. First of all, we have NO idea how he got into the house. Second of all, we also have no idea how it got up onto the vanity in the bathroom. Anyhow, mom went in to use the bathroom and then put her hand on the counter of the vanity in the bathroom and was so startled that she tried to scream, but couldn’t manage to make a sound. She regained her composure and put the frog in a cup and covered it with one of Isaac’s bath toy cup things that has holes in it. Now here is where I enter the picture…..later on she was talking to my little brother and telling him about it, along with her apprehension to go outside and let it go….so he tells her to check on it and make sure it didn’t die because she mentioned that it hadn’t moved in awhile. When mom does that, the frog jumps out of the cup and behind the vacuum. *cue another freak-out here* so she gets it re caught in the cup and then is debating what to do with it. She has since decided that she IS NOT going outside, and has also decided that she is going to get NO sleep if the frog stays in this cup because she is going to lay in bed and wonder if it got out. So we decided to put him in a fishtank in our living room that doesn’t have fish in it yet. Before you think we are retarded, we are waiting to take my cousins and my nephew to pick out fish so that is why the tank is not entirely set up yet…..that and we need to get a filter. Anywho, she put the frog in there and covered it with an air-conditioner filter and a board game and stuff…..until he could be released back out into the wild outdoors by dad the next morning….Never a dull moment!

It won't be like this for long: day 40/365

I love to cuddle. I mean, with anyone…ok, that sounds bad….but I really love to cuddle! Sometimes I cuddle with mom, and sometimes with Krystal, but my favorite cuddle buddy, I have found is Isaac. I mean, I love the feeling of him cuddling up with me and then falling asleep on my chest. I think I love it so much because I know it won’t always happen. One day, that little boy will get too old (I don’t think he will ever get too big at this rate) to fall asleep on my chest. Regardless, I think I will always have a special bond with him. I love these little moments and I don’t take them for granted. Nor do I ever feel too busy for them….even with a million things to do…
