“A muscle is like a car. If you want it to run well early in the morning, you have to warm it up.” Florence Griffith Joyner It’s been a bit of a crazy week around here, but my recovery is slowly moving along. I’m beyond ready to be able to function like a normal human being again. My shoulders are aching due to having to use the crutches for so long. The eczema on my hands is acting up thanks to the grips on the crutches – not fun. Enough of the complaining… I have made progress – albeit painful progress.…

Posted in College Life, and Family
I can’t believe our baby girl is now a college student. Yes, she’s currently attending school locally, but it’s still a huge change for us. She’s working on some “basic” classes for her future geology major with biology minor. Her first semester of college includes Chemistry, Trigonometry, College Composition, and Physics.
