Boot Me No More

Yesterday I had my appointment with the orthopaedist. I don't have to wear my boot anymore. Yea! I will now wear an ankle brace for five weeks. I will now be seeing the physical therapist for a month. We'll be working on increasing flexibility the first week. Each step toward full recovery makes me excited.

Crutches No More

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea!

I just got done meeting with Dr. Nakken and I can work off my crutches. I'm so excited. In three weeks I have another appointment and I'll be able to get rid of the boot.

P.S. For those who don't know, I had surgery on my foot four weeks ago to repair a couple of peroneal tendons.

Earthquake

That's not something you feel everyday. I'm sitting here at work and the next thing I know I hear this big bang. I didn't know what it was at first. I guess there was a 4.1 magnitude earthquake 8 miles south of Cedar this morning at 9:24. Pretty cool.

Setting Apart

I had the opportunity to see my parents set apart by their stake president Greg Powell. It was a spiritual experience. I had mixed emotions. I was excited their time has come to serve a mission, but I will definitely miss them while they're gone.

They were set apart at the Cross Hollows Stake Center in the high council room at about 8:00 pm last night. In attendance were my grandparents Banks, grandma Payne, Uncle Dave & Aunt Jeannie, Leanne, Alan, Ember and her family, Cheryl and Garrett and Brent.

I cherished the opportunity to stand in the circle as my parents were set apart. It had never crossed my mind that I would get to participate in that. It was very special. They were promised great blessings.

My brother Brent is dropping them off at the MTC today. They will be great missionaries. I feel the Spirit so strongly when I think about what they're doing. What a blessing to know the gospel has been restored and to be a part of it. What a wonderful time!
