Upon the recovery.

Hello all.

I know you have just been absolutely been on the edge of your seats, anxious to hear of our adventures as of late. No scooter accidents this week, but a few things of note.

First off, Jeff was able to get a shorter cast this week! This is very exciting, as he is no longer stuck in a giant one, which makes it hard to move, sleep, and get dressed. This short one is not as bulky and limiting. Plus it is easier for Jeff to hug me as well :) His elbow is still broken, but it has to start moving in order for it to heal properly, or else it will become stiff and stuck in that position. He does his stretches every day. Also, we had a check up about his surgery, and they said everything was healing nicely, and it would only be another 4 weeks in the sling. So about a month more for both the cast and sling.

Also, I decided it was in my best interest to drop all but one of my classes. I felt like I would much rather be able to fully focus on my studies, and get good grades and learn from them, than juggle them around with everything else going on. Jeff had to drop about half of his credits as well to keep up with his schooling. It is amazing how much being thrown off a scooter effects your life! But we think we can catch up in future semesters, and hopefully it won't alter our future plans too much. Sigh.

Lastly, Jeff and I decided for Family Home Evening, we would do something awesome. This is what we did:
We built a fort. We thought it would be fun to relive our childhood, and make a fort. Turns out Jeff is a master when it comes to fort building. Had both of his hands not be confined, this would have turned out MUCH better, as I am not the best fort maker ever. We watched Star Wars and ate creampuffs and home made hummus in this fort. We were sad to tear it down.

Again, we would like to thank everyone for the kindness and love you have expressed here on our blog, and else where, and the kind actions as well. We had a good time with Jeff's mom and family last week, and we are so grateful they helped us out so much. It really lifted our spirits.
