I just got home from San Antonio Texas where i spent the week with Jason in the hospital, he was injured over in Afghanistan from a Roll over in an MRAP, he suffered a very bad injury to his arm, where had an open fracture on his left arm, they had to do surgery immediately in afghanistan and Germany to fix the broken bones with 3 plates, 2 in his radius and one in the ulna, he was then flown to Virginia and then to Texas, where he underwent 2 more surgeries, the most recent one was on friday and he ended up being in the O.R. for over 6 hours, (LONGEST day of my life), they then repaired all the tendins in his wrist and hand, they took out a nerve from his right leg to replace the missing 11 cm of nerve in his wrist, and then they had to graft it, so they took a big piece of skin off his left leg to graft over the missing areas on his arm, so he is pretty banged up! So, all in all he has a huge incision on the back of his right leg, major surgery on his left hand and arm, and then on his left thigh is the skin graft that feels like the worst rug burn ever x10! The poor guy, was in so much pain, but i am so happy i was able to be there with him to help him with whatever he needed, he always has a great attitude and a smile on his face, He is doing much better now, the doctors are looking at it on thursday to see if anymore surgeries are needed, I am so happy that he is safe and back in the states and recovering well, I love you and I am so proud of you Jason!

My Little Buddies!
These are my favorite little guys in the whole world, My cousins, Conner and Parker, it's weird to say they are just my cousins because they feel more like nephews! We were at Conner's basketball game, he lost witch might explain the kinda sad look on his little face, if they would have won they would have played for the championship, but Conner played awesome anyways, as usual!! Love you Conner and Parker!!!

I got TAGGED! here are 6 Random things about me! ( I am so not good at this kind of thing!)Thanks Cheri! :)
- I hear everything, Jeron calls me eagle ears! I can be clear upstairs in my room and i will hear all conversations going on down stairs, i can be working in the lab at work and i will hear all conversations going on in the other room, and i am annoying and i will break into a conversation and start asking questions and it drives everyone crazy!
- I am obsessed with stars!!! I love patriotic things and any thing with stars flags and the colors red, white, and blue! I think it's because my birthday is so close to the 4th of july. (July 5th wich is 5 months from today :)) I have those big metal stars all over the house and in all colors and sizes, i decorate my Christmas tree in all stars and bells and i even got a tattoo of a star on my foot and that's random for me!
- I swallowed a quarter when i was, yep, 13 a little old to be putting change in my mouth! My friend Steph and i were going to a movie and we were at her house up in copperton and i was putting an old school banana clip in my hair so i bit on 3 quarters to hold them between my teeth, as i flipped my head upside down, 2 quarters fell on the floor and the 3rd, well it went to the back of my throat and my first instinct was to swallow, it went down my throat and got stuck at the back of my airway and was not moving, so we had to go to the hospital where my uncle had to do surgery and go in and get it out! He said if it would have tipped just barley it would have closed off my airway i i could have died! of course it turned into a big joke so when he woke me up after surgery, he said that they got it out ok but, he had to break it up in order to get it out, he then handed me 2 dimes and 1 nickle!
- I have to sleep with a heat pad every night!! I had a big surgery a while back and i had to sleep with one every night on my stomach, well it turned into a habbit, only it slowly moved from my stomach to my feet, and now i can't sleep unless i have one at my feet every night! i have gone through so many of them!
- i guess i say the most random things all the time, you can ask Jay and Cheri, they are always laughing at the most random things that i say! ( can you tell i have no idea how to write 6 random things about myself!)
- I guess a recent random thing about myself is that i cut my hair OFF! yeah, like 5 inches, its a dramatic A line, i have never been so brave before! THE END..........I tag..........Alicia, Annie, Brandi, Betsy and Nikki
