It's been a while......

So sorry I haven't wrote for a while. We've been kind of hectic and bored all at the same time. We've moved in and are getting use to our new house. We absolutely love it! We are so spoiled to get such a beautiful house! We've mostly unpacked everything, but I'm not even close to being done decorating! I'm scared to hang something on the wall and put a nail hole in the wall and then change my mind and hang it somewhere else. And I ask Rick his opinion and he says no matter what I do looks good, which is not true! So it's taking me a while to decorate, but I figure I have some time. And next time I write I'll put pictures up.

This last weekend we had Rick's family reunion here. His two sisters and their familys and his brother and wife all came down. We all went to the Manti temple on Saturday morning. It was my first time going to that temple and on the way there I was stressed because I knew there would be lots of stairs once we got in the temple and I didn't know how well it would work with Rick's chair and everything but it turned out great! There was alot of stairs but there was alot of help and Rick got around with no problems. It felt so good to go to the temple because we haven't been able to since Rick fell. The whole reunion was fun and it was great to be with Rick's family. We're both lookin forward to going to the temple when Rick is up and walking.

Rick has been doing great! Since we got into the new house he has been trying to do alot more stuff. He can get around so well and he's learning to open doors and do more and more for himself. His legs have kind of stayed the same these last few weeks, but we are going to work them harder and hopefully by next therapy session we'll see huge improvement. I feel bad for Rick because he has such an emotional wife. I have breakdowns all the time. It's not because I don't think we'll get through this, it's just because I know how hard it is for Rick not to be up and going all the time. And I know he's disappointed when he trys so hard to move his legs better and better and it's just slow progress. But this is a trial of our faith and patience and I know everyday we're getting closer and closer. He is such an example to me and other people because he doesn't give up and he keeps trying. Maybe this is just an emotional few weeks for me because everything and anything can make me cry lately. But I know I keep saying it over and over but I truely believe we are almost done with this whole thing and that Rick will be a miracle.
