Writing the happy post to stretch my mind

I went to the doctor today and found out my tibia is healed! Yeah! No more crutches...still a bit of hobbling though. My tendons and ligaments aren't completely healed.

I had a really good time on my vacation. Washington was a blast, and I can't thank God enough for Adam and helping me. We had so much fun with our picnic, the winery, mexican food, and Thai food.

On a bad note...Molly died this last week. I am going to miss her. Belle had died about a month before her, and I think it took a large toll on her body and she realized just how old she was once Belle was gone. She stayed alive for her daughter though. I read The Art of Racing in the Rain and bawled my eyes out at the end. It just makes me realize how much Gin helped me through the hardest time of my life, and she doesn't even know it. We both found each other and needed each other. But this is supposed to be a happy post.

I am only applying to 3 schools now-> University of Missouri, Colorado State University, and Washington State University. It is very exciting knowing that I will be moving in less than a year. Caitlin, Ryann and I are going to move into a place in Fort Collins, CO regardless of where I get into vet school. This is my gift for graduation.

It's been thunderstorming here lately, and I love it. Adam has a surprise for me when he comes home on Sunday, so I am anxious for that!

The weirdest thing happened today. I had an odd texting conversation and I didn't know quite how to take it. It was almost as if someone else was texting on the other end. Crazy.

I want to take this time to give a prayer of thanks for where I am in my life right now. Although it seems tough, it is a long way from where I was a year ago. Dad, I pray for a fast recovery. And also watch over Dusty's family. It is such a tragedy that they put all that money into chemo and treatment for him to pass away. Watch over Gracie and send an angel to be with her. Protect Kels in her fragile state. Watch over my father as he struggles with the loss of the dogs. instill in Grant and Morgan's hearts your grace and love, and help me show them the way in their faith eventhough I'm not Catholic anymore. Thank you for the acceptance of my family in that area too...I know it has been a struggle to say the least. I also want to throw an extra prayer out for all the decision-makers in our nation. They need all the help they can get in deciding how to fix our current economy. But over all Dad...thanks for your grace and all the friends, family, foes, and people I will meet in my life who have created who I am now and will be. With them, I praise you and can't wait for the day that our Family will be reunited. I miss all of You-Mary, Jesus, and God.
