Yay!!!

So we went up to Salt Lake to a rehabilitation place that was in charge of making the recommendations for Rick's truck. We were expecting them just to look at him and talk to him for a while and then decide what would work the best for him.. but then the therapist said, "well the best way to find out, is to see you drive." We were way excited! I could tell that Rick was a little nervous but way excited. He got into this big van and transfered onto a seat and just sat in park and was figuring out how the hand controls worked. Then after he got it all down he put it into park and took off. He did so great! He had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. It was the first time he has drove in a year and a half. He got use to it pretty fast and picked it up great. It got us even more excited to get his truck modified. We'll hopefully find out in about 2 weeks so keep your fingers crossed!

Roosevelt and four wheelers

2 weeks ago me and Rick went on a little mini trip to Roosevelt. Many of you might not know but that is where Rick grew up. He has a really good friend that still lives there, Dusty and his wife Rachelle. They came to our house a couple months ago so it was our turn to make our way out there. It was fun! Rick went around and showed me all the houses that he use to live in. It was fun too see a little of Rick's past. We had a blast hanging out with those guys. Dusty had the idea to get Rick on a four wheeler to see how he would do. It was kinda hard for him to drive it but he did great riding on it.

New Truck!!!

Well we got a truck. We were searching for a while but it was kinda hard because there was alot of specifications that the truck had to have to be able to modify it. But thanks to our friends in our neighborhood who works at a car dealership in town we found one!!! We love it!!

Fishing!!

Okay so I know it's ben forever since Iwrote on our blog and I have alot of catching up to do! So I'll do it in a couple posts so that I don't have one that is forever long. Lets start with like a month ago me and Rick and my brother went up to fish lake to go fishing. We started going up to some other lakes but Rick's jeep blew up (well the radiator)so we had to come back home and load up in my car and start the journey again. We stopped at a smaller lake on the way up and Rick caught a small fish there, then we went to Fish lake and he caught another one there. My brother also caught some, so yep I'm the only one who didn't. And I tried hard!! But the way we figured for Rick to fish was to duct tape the pole to Rick's left arm and then he could reel with his right. He did everything by himself. He cast it and reeled it and caught the fish by himself. It was fun to watch him. But it was even funner when I got to rip the tape off his arm giving him a big bald spot on his arm :). But just one more thing that you would think Rick wouldn't be able to do and he does it like a pro!!
