Countdown to Surgery

Friday was my last day at work until Sept 11th. It seemed all too crazy. Mom, Stacy, Robert & Shirley all arrived around 4:30 to pick me up. We then headed home. It's so nice to see Robert and Shirley again, even though we just saw them last weekend :-) And of course, life isn't complete without my 2 favorites Mom and Stacy. Mom would probably question her being my favorite but she is. We had a lot planned this weekend, mainly mom's surprise early birthday party. Her birthday isn't until August but since a bunch of us was together we decided to celebrate early. I designed the cake too so that made it fun.

We ended up leave early on Saturday to pick up the cake. I called Jason and told him to meet us at the covered bridge down by our house. We arrived just in the nick of time to unpack everything, set the candles and wait. We started to sing happy birthday and she just didn't get it. She was wondering who's birthday it was. All in all it was a great birthday. The cake was fabulous and we all had a great time.

On Sunday it was fairwell to Robert & Shirley until later on in the year. I'm hoping to be able to go back once the snow starts to fall. At least that's the plan.

Today is Monday and we just got back on a 3 mile hike. I took mom, Stac, Tay and Kenzie up to Ricketts Glenn to see 3 of the waterfalls. It was a beautiful day and the hike was fun.

I can't believe I leave for the hospital on Wednesday. So far I feel great. My nerves are not bothering me at all, which is nice. It really helps to have someone around to keep me busy. I'm so excited too. I can't wait to take my first deep breath.

Anyway, check out these photos from the weekend & one from today.

Hey girl! I love you and am praying for you! I can't wait to hear how breathing will feel for you now. Just think of all the trouble you guys will be getting into once your lungs aren't slowing you down! I'm so happy your family is with you. Wish we were there, too!
