Long, Fun Weekend!!

Wow! What a weekend. We started off our weekend with my dad who flew in from Nebraska on Wednesday night. I am so glad that he was able to visit Salt Lake. My little brother had a little going away party at a restaurant he has been working at. He has some really cool friends. We then left for Montrose on Friday for my little sisters high school graduation. On the way down we stopped to see Tyler at the hospital. He is doing much better. He has opened his eyes and is looking around. They still don't consider him awake because he is not recognizing things. They described it as the lights being on but no one home. They have started a little therapy with him, taking him outside, trying to get him to eat, and move his arms and legs. It will take some time but he is improving. It felt really good to see his eyes open. Every little movement he made made me smile. I can see a little relief in my step dad. He just wants to hear him say something.

On Saturday we drove up to Black Canyon National Park. It was the first time my dad had been up there. It is so beautiful! I have been up there many times and it is always an amazing sight. Josh did everything he could to scare the crap out of me. Climbing on cliffs, one slip and he would be a goner.

Then we moved on to my sisters graduation. She is 9 years younger than me so it sure made me feel old. The ceremony was nice. It was outside so it was hard to hear but it was a beautiful day. She is going to be attending Weber State so I am really excited to have her so close. She already has plans for us to work out and get buff. She is definitely motivating. She is a soccer player so she will be sure to keep me motivated. I love my husband but it will be nice to have someone to do adult girl things together. Being that we are so far apart in age we haven't gotten to spend a lot of time together. Alyssah is really excited too. She keeps asking when Megan is going to be moving down here.

Well, it was a busy and fun weekend but all good things must come to an end. I think this is the first time I was a little anxious to get home. Of course I changed my mind as soon as I got home to my crazy dogs and real life. It was hard for me and Josh to get up on Tuesday but tried to remember that we only had to work 4 days this week. My dad will be here until Wednesday so we are going to try and take him up to Weber State so he can see where Meg will be going to school. I am sure he is going a little crazy with all the action at my house with the dogs. He isn't use to all the hussle and bussel and I know he is missing his wonderful wife. I love you dad and am really glad that I was able to spend so much time with you. Love you!!
