Sunrise Service

 

For Easter nothing huge went on in my world. But it wasn't just a typical weekend. Not only was it Easter weekend but the opportunity to listen to General Conference made it all the sweeter. There was so much to take in and learn. On Easter Sunday at the Red Rocks Amphitheater they hold Sunrise Service. Rachel and I decided to get up just a few short hours after hitting the pillow; at 4:00!! We had fun enjoying the calm of the morning and taking part. We skipped out before the sermon but overall it was beautiful and wonderful to realize that so many people can come together to learn of Jesus Christ and feel of his love. Which is just what we continued to do as we listened to General Conference.

Hope you all had just as wonderful an Easter as I did; minus the Chinese Easter dinner! ;)

Or at least it feels that way.

Cameron is my doctor, and he's phenominal! He truly has made a mark on my life for the better. And I trust him. Obviously one would have to do so to go through what I did. Although that trust has never been questioned I have for sure done my fair share of being a defiant patient. I blame the drugs or perhaps it was all the bedrest. Maybe it was both but I cannot be held accountable, right? So back to that whole trust thing. I believe he knows what's best for me; from a helping Stephanie recover standpoint. Do I always like his input? No. But I recognize that it's not about taking the easy way out. I MUST remember that the time invested into this last year does have sacrifices. Blood must be spilt and tears will be present. I had forgotten I am not past that point yet. I still need to give a lil more to gain a lot more.

Long story short; I have gym clearance! Do I want this alloted to me? NO But hey what the heck I just sit around all day anyways, not like the gym will hurt me. WRONG! So wrong. I used to love the gym. Now I will find any excuse to not want to go. Pretty hard to come up with an excuse when you have no job and no comittments. But it's been a few weeks now and even if it is a love hate relationship I do wake up each day feeling just that much stronger.

My sunshine!

If this face won't make you smile than I don't know what will?

Let's Run!

{definition of my last year-seems to be a good fit}

So now that I've had surgery and been through therapy guess what I can do? I get to begin incorporating back into my life things that before said operation I was unable to participate in.

First on the list; run! I had to learn how to walk without a turn out. It was pretty tricky but I've now got the hang of it. I'm not supposed to do any running yet. But as long as I watch the inflammation and monitor the pain levels I can begin to train for long distances.

I really love biking but after a while it gets old. So today was day two of the regime I was introduced to. It helps prep your body for running again. So basically I do all the normal therapy and stuff that I already do just adding this into the mix three times a week for 9 weeks. My pt says that in about 2 months I should be running 3 miles easy. That's what he says. We shall see - we shall see.

psht Easters got nothing on my Chinese Easter

So while mum's away the menu becomes very predictable around here. Dad loves Chinese and he's good at making it. But for me I really have to be in the mood for the assortment of dishes he cooks up. Don't get me wrong; it's delicious. However if I'm off to the gym that night I don't really want to eat Chinese. I'd rather grab a water and some fruit.

The point of this post you may ask. Well here it is Wednesday and since Sunday guess what's been on the menu? What was that? Chinese? Why yes, you are correct.

Dad asked me tonight, "Are you getting sick of Chinese? Wait are you even eating it?"

Well you guys I had some for lunch on Monday, does that count? Anyways he decided to fire up the grill tonight and opted for burgers and hot dogs. Hmm...guess he figured I was sick of Chinese.

Guess I know what I'm eating for lunch tomorrw.

some music for Good Friday
