We had our first appointment yesterday and once I find my camera cord I'll post pictures of all the wonderful new things that have happened to us lately.

So, not only are we going to be first time aunt and uncle in about a months time, we are excited that we'll be able to have a cousin for our new nephew to play with!

We obviously don't know the sex yet, but we are ecstatic!!

I'M SO EXCTIED!!!

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE COMES OUT TONIGHT, I AM SO GOING TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING!! ME, JUSTUS, GILBERT, MCKINNON, AND JONNY (MY BROTHER) ARE ALL BRAVING THE MIDNIGHT CROWD TO SEE THE MOVIE TOGETHER! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

Just an update

Well, I haven't blogged for a while. I can't find my camera cord to download pictures of anything yet. We are still trying to unpack and get all moved into our house. Once its ready I'll hopefully post pictures. I'm having a baby shower for Joyce on Saturday, so I have to have the house presentable for all the relatives. So hopefully I'll have pictures soon.

As far as my knee goes I do have to have surgery. I have a torn ACL and I think a lot of meniscus damage so they'll go in and fix it all. I haven't scheduled my surgery but I can have it whenever I want after I get my range of motion back. I have to be able to bend it and straighten it. I can't quite straighten it all the way and can't bend it as far back as I used to be able to. So I'm still working on that. I'm still limping a little bit and my leg gets tired if I walk/stand on it for too long.

I've had to take leave at Naartjie until I can get more strength back in my leg, hopefully I'll be back there in August. I've also had to retire for now from coed soccer, and other sports. I was hoping to get to play tennis this summer with Justus but I can't play now : (

Well...I'll keep you all updated and hopefully post pictures within the week.

I did what to my knee?

So, if you've read my prior post you'll know that I injured my knee playing soccer over the weekend. Well, today I went to the doctor and got my diagnosis.

I TORE MY ACL!!

I am in shock. I'm not in a lot of pain so I figured I partially tore or just strained something. Guess not. I'll be following up with the physical therapist next week and we will hopefully have my surgery date scheduled. I'll keep you updated.

Crutches please!!

So, I'm sure you're all dying to see pictures of our house, well we don't have any yet because we are still trying to unpack! I never realized how much stuff we have!! So pictures will be coming soon, hopefully later this week. Oh, and if you haven't sent me your address do so soon so I can send out invitations to our house warming party!!

Now...onto the crutches. So, Saturday was a pretty typical Saturday for me. Working at Naartjie in the morning, then a couple coed indoor soccer games. Well, we won our first game and then we had our second game. And thats where disaster struck. There was less than 5 minutes left in the game and we were winning. I was sprinting back to defend since no one else was. I got to the girl with the ball, she was trying to fake me out. I went to pivot in the direction she was going and my left foot just stayed there. My left knee popped out of place and then back in. Was a great feeling! NOT! I stood there for a second and then dropped to the ground and started shreeking in pain. I was starting to hyperventilate a little. Good thing Justus and my brother are on the team and were there to calm me down before I went into shock. I couldn't move my leg really. They carried me off the field and I put it up to start icing it. I had stopped crying at this point by the way. Well, we ended up tying the game since the people who will actually defend were either injured or on the bench because they subbed out earlier. Well, my knee is about double its normal size right now. The swelling hasn't gotten much better and I've been hobbling around most of the weekend. I've been using crutches whenever possible because when I drag my leg or try to limp I get tired and sore really fast. I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday, they said since my knee is still really swollen they wouldn't be able to do anything. So I'll let you all know what the damage is.

We're moving!!! Yay!

We closed yesterday. Everything funded and recorded this afternoon. We get our keys tonight. And we can start moving in tomorrow!!! I'm so excited! If you want to help us move let us know! Haha...we are just so excited!

Updates...

So here's the skinny on life: We are closing in about 26 hours on the condo and house. Then we will move in later this week!!!!!

I do not have Swine Flu. So no worries there. I'm fine, but its always good to be cautious about that kind of thing, right?

My heart goes out to the Rogers and Jensen clan. My best pal Jenny Jensen informed me that her sister Tammy passed away from a massive heart attack on Saturday night. I love you guys and our prayers are with your family. Let us know if you need anything, anything at all.

Did I mention that we are closing on our house? Can you tell I'm excited? We walked through it again this weekend and it got both of us super excited!!
