Hello everybody.

Yes, I am currently nausiated and drugged up, but I can still type pretty good. My surgery was successful. I had a plica removed from my knee and am now in the recovery stages. I had my first physical therapy appointment yesterday and got the drain removed. It was painful up until then, but it is a little better now.

The people from our small group and church are helping us out. One of them is going to take me to physical therapy tomorrow. I really like them and our church. I am happy that they are able to help me out when I need it.

I am going to lay down for a little while to help to ease the nausia. Thanks for all of the prayers that everybody has given me.

This Monday Dad had a total knee replacement. Wednesday was the hardest day since it was the day he came home from the hospital. He and mom were understandably exhausted by the time we got them home. Dad began outpatient therapy on Thursday and he is up and walking with a walker and already able to bend the knee beyond 90 degrees.

David's knee surgery was postponed due to a death in the doctor's family. He will be having his surgery on July 15th instead. In the mean time his job search continues and he is working on getting the town house remodeled. The kitchen cabinets are in and he is in the process of doing some painting. The next step will be the counter tops and some new tile. Slowly but surely it is all coming together.

We spent the day at home for the most part. David's parents came over (My Mom and Dad were not quite feeling up to an excursion just yet) and we threw some hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. We enjoyed the food and then watched a movie before moving to the driveway for a prime view of the fireworks. Our new house is just across a cotton field from where the fireworks are set off. It was the best seat we have had for a show in a few years. We could hear the whistle of the fireworks being launched.

Ok, so obviously I am not very good at keeping everyone up to date. :P Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes. My new job is going well and I am finally off orientation. I went to nights starting June 1st. I am enjoying the job, but still struggling to adjust to the night time schedule at times. Slowly but surely I will get all the wrinkles ironed out.

We found out this week that David has to have surgery on his knee...yes we did this about a year ago on the other knee. Same problem, different knee. He will have his surgery on July 3rd and is supposed to start therapy the following Monday. The doctor said that he wants him up and around as soon as the next day.

David is continuing to work on getting the town house ready to go on the market. He is hoping to get a large chunk of the work done before his knee surgery. He is working on it every day while I sleep.

Well babies are calling gotta run!

I am finally done with nursing school!!! I tested for my license last monday and had my license in my hand by friday. I will be starting my new job on Monday morning. It will be days for the first couple of months as I go through training, but then I will switch to nights. David has been very supportive through the whole thing. He is back to work and doing well. Our next goal is to get a new house that is big enought to last us for a long time and has a nice yard for the dogs. Hopefully we will be able to do that within the next year. We are both looking forward to having some more SPACE!

Wow! How time flies! David is recovering from knee surgery and doing physical therapy. Right now he is on light duty at work, but hopefully he will be able to return to his regular duties soon. I am plugging away at nursing school and will graduate in December. Maybe once things calm down a bit we will get better at updating this more often . For now our life continues to be busy and full! More to come later, but now I have to get some sleep.

It has been just over one year since we last updated the site. It is hard to believe that we have been married for 1 year now. We just got back from a marriage conference. It was long and informative, but we are both very tired.

LeAnn is still in school. She is going on Mondays and Wednesdays, the whole day. For those of you that don't know, I am now working for Trico Electric Coop. as a meter reader. I have been working there for almost 6 months now.

We are obviously both very busy, and I promise to start sending out the thank you cards from the wedding. Yes we are quite late on these, but they will get done.

They are here! We just got the professional pictures. It will take awhile to upload them. They are slowing going. You can print them out yourself or let us know what you want and we will get them printed for you.

The tabletop cameras will be posted as soon as we get them developed. We should have them on Friday or Saturday.

Again, if you have pictures, please send them to us. We are happy for all of the pictures that we have received. We are seeing how the wedding went and how much fun everybody had.

We are both back at work. Work has been hard. LeAnn starts the nursing program in August for a 18 month stint. She will be going to school 6 days per week. Between part-time work and school, we will not see each other very much. However, we will endure and look forward to all of the time we will have together after school is done.

David is back to installing cable full-time. After a week in San Diego, it was hard to go back. However, he is getting used to the hot weather again. He will be drinking lots of water and working hard.
