Surgery Day

As I sit here at the hospital waiting for David to get out of surgery I can't help but think about the last few months. Part of me hates the Foothills Hospital but then the other part of me is so grateful for it and that we have such a great hospital so close to us. What an adventure we have been on. Our lives will never be the same but part of me is grateful for that. Both David and I have grown so much, together as a couple and individually. This has definitely been one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through but I am thankful for so many things in my life. I could not have gone through this without the gospel and the knowledge that I have. Also having the support of family and friends has helped immensely. Again I want to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers through all of this, I couldn't have done it without the help.

I have been able to think and reminisce about things a lot lately and there is someone that I have been thinking a lot about especially today. Seven years ago today one of the greatest examples in my life passed away. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my Uncle Cam and the great man that he was. He blessed my life in so many ways, he was there when I needed help with school or even just someone to talk to. I knew I could count on him. I miss him so much but am grateful for the knowledge that I have and that I know I will see him again someday. I also want to thank my Aunt Cor for the wonderful example that she has been to me and so many others. I have been able to rely on her throughout this whole adventure and for that I will be extremely grateful.

Well, it has taken me most of the afternoon to write this post and David is out of surgery and in the recovery room. Not sure how he did but i'm guessing everything went well because we have not heard any different. He will be up here in the hospital recovering but we don't know for how long. We are so grateful that this is probably the last surgery he will have to have regarding this accident.

Here are a few pictures that David's sister Janae took of us the other day….

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers!!! We love you all!!!
