A light at the end of the tunnel :)

So I've been pretty down lately... I hate being down. My last post was quite depressing, sorry about that. 

Today was fabulous! It started with my 9 am doctors appointment. At 9 I got my x-ray, the techs were very impressed with me. They didn't have to position me at all and I didn't wear any metal so I didn't have to change. They told me they can tell I've done this before and they're not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing :) haha I figure you gotta stick with what your good at. After I got my x-ray I went in for the doc to check it out. He was super impressed with how quickly I'm healing. I guess there is something to be said for a 20 year old instead of a 60 year old having this surgery. :) The doc originally said I could drive after 45 days but today 25 days into the surgery he released me to drive!!! He also told me that in two more months I can go in and get x-rayed again and baring something horrible happening I get to ditch this awful brace and start swim therapy! Then about a month after that I do normal therapy then I'm done with this whole mess!!! yay! The doc also said I can go back to work as long as I have someone doing my BLT's (bending, lifting, twisting) 

I'm pretty excited for Friday. I'm going to California with Grandma, Grandpa, and Alyson's family. We're going to some cool town, a cool cave, and a castle. haha I'm just excited to get out of St. George. It's gonna be a long car ride but it should be pretty fun! :)

So Josie has been teaching me piano! I freakin love it!!! Gah! I just want to go and practice all the time! I'm not as good when she's watching me but whatev. I just wanna learn to play some hymns and hopefully I go somewhere on my mission that it will be useful. :)

Speaking of missions. I've gotten a few letters lately that have really made me happy. David's letters always brighten my day, and he's pretty good at writing me back. I also recently got one from Josh... his have me hysterically laughing. I love both these kids! My friend CJ just messaged me on Facebook (I'm pretty sure he's not supposed to be on that but oh well it's his choice) anyways he told me to write him and promised that he would write me back haha. He was pretty flirty with me too, which was extremely weird. 

So see when I step back and look at things my life really isn't too bad and the worst of this surgery is over. I know that my Father in Heaven loves me and that I can make it through anything that is dished out to me. If I keep my head up and go through my trials trying to say positive than it will be much easier on me.

I love life and the wonderful friends and family that I have! :)
