Ok...yea so I knew it would happen...As soon as I was able o get off the couch I would be back to being a bad blogger! Sorry! anywho...Johnny has been doing great back at work, he's sore when he comes home but he's gonna be ok. Well we decided since clinical's don't start until October, I am going to go ahead and get my ACL in my knee repaired. It's going to be a sucky summer, with the recovery, but en I don't have to worry about it for another ten years!! So I go back Thursday to schedule the surgery. The girls went and came back from Girl's Camp this week!! They seemed to have a great time.All the stories were absolutely hilarious, and no injuries to speak of!!! Yesterday Sheri had to have a suspicious spot on her shin cut out. It was alittle intense, but we got through it. She has one stitch on the inside and four stitches on the outside. Now she just as to take it easy for two weeks!! She handles it like a trooper. We get the results by the end of this week. So far this week Johnny has been rained out Monday and Tuesday. Kinda sucks...but he is enjoying the rest. An update on Nicole...she is doing great! We were able to spend all of Sunday afternoon with her and that was really nice. A very very dear friend of ours is unfortunately in the hospital not doing very well, so sh rode with us up to the city to visit him, then we went to the range and she shot my new gun,,,,oh yeah!!! My adorably sweet husband bought me my own pistol. It's a 9mm millennium!! It's great. I've always wanted to learn how to shoot and I actually am getting pretty good. It's very fun to go to the range and practice! Johnny is a good teacher. He is a great marksman himself. I love that guy. We have really had alot of fun together lately. He has taken me cat fishing twice this week!! And that is so peaceful and exciting!!! We took the little girls one evening and Emily Paige reeled in to the bank a catfish!! It broke the line just as soon as we almost got our hands on it!!! Then she pulled in about three more different fish!!! She is quite the little fisher girl!! And Jennifer Michelle pulled in two herself!!!! Those girls were sooo excited! since they went fishing, they have been out in the front yard practicing their casting skills! Well I'm going to post some pics on here and then get ready for johnny to come home......he's rained out again!

I am Better

Ok, so things are much better today....I have to admit, I pretty much spent the day yesterday feeling sorry for myself and wondering what I could have one differently;coming to the conclusion, that everything happens for a reason and probably nothing could have prevented the inevitable. So I have turned a new page! I talked, well text, with Nicole today and she reassured me that she was doing fine, and she is rooming with one of her single friends from work. She is a really nice girl and I do feel better knowing that. So I guess the Birge's are now down to just four kids at home......gosh that sounds so wierd but oh well. We went to Emmi's first pyshcology appt. today. I guess it went ok. The doctors seem pretty nice and really positive. So we shall see.Johnny goes back to work tomorrow after being off for six weeks. He is not totally healed just totally hard headed. I will just be extra caring and sensitive when he comes home tomorrow night. His guys called and set up carpools though and are very excited to have him back though, so I just hope he is careful and doesn't make himself any worse. Gosh Ijust love that man!!! I just want him to be careful. I have to go and find out the details about financial aid for the rad tech program tomorow then a follow up on my knee!! So I get to spend the day out of the house!!! I'm pretty stoked about that!! Well it's off to bed....early morning tomorrow!!
