Happy Anniversay to Us!!

Today is our 14th Anniversary. Holy Cow! In some ways it seems like a few years ago and in other ways, I have to really think hard to remember that day. These 14 years have been the best, not without a few "discussions" and some heart ache but the best knowing that I have my best friend by my side along the way.

Todd is pretty quite in public but within the walls of our home, he is the jokester of our family. We laugh until we cry, we wonder what else he can come up with, we wonder where he gets his wit, his energy and his love for life.

I'm the luckiest person in the world to be married to a hard working, loving, patient, and kind husband. I look forward to many, many more anniversaries with Todd.

Sore Foot = Tendinitis

For several weeks now my left foot on the outside near my ankle, has been so incredibly tender. Changing shoes didn't help or didn't change anything so I finally scheduled an appointment with the foot doctor. After several x-rays, the doctor pushing, pulling, flexing, and examining my foot, he determined that I have tendinitis in my foot. He gave me a brace to wear, an anti-inflammatory to take, and a three week follow-up appointment. Hopefully, this will cure the problem. Very minor in comparison to others health issues, but annoying still the same.
