is it friday yet?!

Seriously! What a week. But a pretty good week. We had the ball game last weekend (see pics below) My days are consisting of Physical Therapy, work and projects both at work and home. Our kids classes are a giant mess. We've changed things a little, we thought it would be a better change. But it's just been really confusing. We tried to have kits done before hand, but we are getting shorted because they are just taking them and then we don't have enough for our classes because girls aren't filling out the forms right. I've been short on both my classes so far. So hopefully we can change that next time around.

Physical Therapy has been pretty good so far. I really like the place I go to. It's brand new. It's also literally at the corner. I can walk there. I even really like my therapist!! LOL!I start really early in the morning. But's it's 3x a week instead of the 2 like I thought. For five wks. The last two days have been really painful. I am supposed to do exercises on days I don't have therapy. The bad part was I did them Tue night and then I had my therapy first thing in the am. It was too much for my knees in a 12 hr period. So I need to do them in the am on the days I don't have it. So it spreads it out more. There are a few of them that are harder. The lifting is hard and the ones where I have to push my ankles back. We are going to try something different tomorrow. So far the cortizone shots not doin a whole lot. I am still remaining opomistic about the therapy. This is only the first week and probably the hardest. I didn't go to work on Wed it was so sore.

Anyway - a couple other things. I mentioned a little about my nephew Gabe. Well, he LOVES LOVES the pirate chest I made (also see pics below), he called me last night. He also is going to be baptized in August!!! HUGE deal!! In our religion, (for those who aren't familiar) we baptize at the age of 8 (accountibility) He asked if we were going to be there. I have said from the beginning ABSOLUTELY. Well I didn't realize that we also (or didn't put dates together I should say) that we have Farmor (carls grandma) 90th bday bash which has been in the works for more than year and we have REQUESTED and EXPECTED to be there with bells on. That's the week of the 16th. Not a problem you would think. We can't make two trips to Salt Lake. It's just tooo dang expensive.And conflicts at work. But I can't miss Gabes baptism either. That's just too big a deal. (considering his cirumstances and his life it's huge!) anyway, Carl and I had quite the conflict. Theres other issues that Farmor and I have had and family issues that I won't get into.

We worked it out. We talked to Carls dad, my mom (who have been wonderfully supportive of either decision and seeing our big conflict) and Christy. I am going to Salt Lake August 3rd -8th.
then Carl is going to the party. I may still go to the party if he drives with Christy and we can all split the cost of gas. Christy would prefer to fly because her and Alexis don't want come home until monday. Carl and I have to be back to work on Monday. That's the other hard part, we can't miss that much work just because of stuff at work. It's all very complicated, but I think we've got it worked out. Carl is just sick that he can't be there for Gabes baptism. Gabe had asked if Carl was going to be there. (Carl and Gabe also got to be close) Carl really wanted to stand in the confirmation circle. The date of the baptism tried to get changed to July so we could be there, but the building is not available that day and they do things on a Stake level. On a Sunday night now. Whew! I know it's very confusing, are you confused yet, cause I am! LOL!

We also had dinner at our friends house tonight. It was a lot of fun! We need to do it more often.
I am not sure what this weekend will look like! Hopefully we'll be able to relax and wind down a little!!
