Fun Fall

So lately I'm just not very good with updating our blog. It's not that our lives aren't interesting, its just that I feel like I write the same thing every week. I don't want people to get bored with our blog so I keep putting it off thinking that I'll write when something huge happens. But I've come to the realization that I should write about all the little things that happen in our lives because everything, big and small, are blessings.

I love fall!!!!! I love this time of year. I know that most people do too, but I love the look of it, and the smell, and everything that goes along with it. I have to admit I wasn't too happy when it snowed a while ago though. I had to wake up before church and shovel our ramp before church. I told Rick that I would have no objections if he started walking before the next snow fall because I'm not one to go out there and shovel way early in the morning. Our ramp comes out the back of our house and it would be really bad if it got icy. So I'm not ready for the snow part, but the rest of it is wonderful. I'm trying to explore my crafty side lately, and for fall I'm trying to make some cute stuff. For anyone who knows me, I don't have a crafty bone in my body, but I'm trying to learn and bring that side out in me. So I would say I'll post pictures of my new projects but I can't make any promises till they turn out and I see how I do. So if anyone has any cute ideas for fall decorations that aren't to hard to make and don't involve any sewing let me know.

Well Rick's therapy is going great! I am so proud of how hard he works. I have more videos of his therapy but I'm going to wait till after this weeks therapy and get some more videos and then put them all together. I never thought about all the things that come along with having a spinal cord injury. To tell you the truth I never thought about a spinal cord injury ever before it happened to us. But a huge issue lately is Rick's temp. He gets cold so easy, and once he does get cold it takes so long for him to warm back up again. Rick always use to be so hot, so it's way weird to be the one that's asking him if we can turn the heat down. Your spinal cord controls your temp and since his is kinda messed up right now that's causing us alot of problems. So needless to say, I'm not excited for winter to hit till we get him back to normal. At therapy we've seen some people that have injured their spinal cord at the same level as Rick. One of them has got his hands back and all sorts of things back, and the there's one who has to use a power chair and can't transfer or do alot of things that Rick can do. And there's alot inbetween the two. But Rick is doing so awesome, and it's such a good feeling and knowledge to us that he'll just keep getting better. It's fun to look around and say, "Won't it be fun when you can do that!" But really from when Rick first started therapy to now, it's like a whole different person. So I guess we should just enjoy the time we have together and be grateful for our layed back lives right now because I'm sure before we know it we'll be so busy with jobs, school, kids and that whole package.

Well I'm sorry if my blog is kinda boring lately. But tuesday through thursday we're up in salt lake doing therapy, and the rest of the time we're trying to do therapy at home and just hanging out. I'm still on the hunt for a job that I can do at home and be with Rick. So if anyone out there has cute ideas for decorations or a job..... let me know!!
