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!

How exciting! As soon as you get your truck all fixed up, you'll have to drive down and see us! Kelli wants you to driver her around town. Love ya!
