First Day of School
School is back in session! The kids are so excited to be going back and attending Discovery Elementary! Jamyn is in the 4th grade with Mrs. Smith, Whitney is in the 2nd grade with Miss Gellings, and Jace is off to Kindergarten with Mrs. McCammon! We love our school and look forward to learning so much and making memories to last a lifetime!

Where did August go?
Well, it is now September...where did our summer go? We celebrated Nathan's Birthday August 5th. He is finally 32! :)
We headed to Salmon, Idaho so that I could go play in a softball tournament over the weekend. It was beautiful there, the weather was perfect! We were having so much fun!! The third game of the tournament I was running to second base and needed to slide to avoid getting out. I slid, and somehow in the process broke my arm. I heard the most awful crack, felt a feeling of pain overcome my entire body, and as soon as I pulled my arm up you could vividly see that my arm was broken. FYI, I was safe!! :) I was rushed into town to the ER where I had a horrible experience! The doctor, along with Nathan, and lack there of drugs proceeded to set my arm, not once, but twice. They put me in an ugly blue hard cast up over my elbow, told me it wasn't perfect, but it would have to do, and sent me on my way. Well, I have been around, and knew that I shouldn't be in a hard cast, especially considering my fingers were turning purple before I left the hospital due to the swelling. Plus, telling me my arm isn't perfect...really...didn't sit well with me! We went to the place we were staying and I tried to rest, which was impossible due to the incredible pain I was in. We hurried home the next day and since my fingers were purple, and so swollen I had no space between them we rushed to the ER in Idaho Falls. They couldn't believe the shape I was in! They took the cast off, replaced it with a splint and sent me to an orthopedic surgeon.Found out that I completely broke both bones in my lower arm in half and shattered the joint in my wrist. They did surgery to repair the damage, and now I have 4 pins holding my bones together. The doctor told me the break was bad enough that I probably should have been life flighted and rushed to emergency surgery. At three weeks after the accident I finally got a cast below the elbow, so that made life a little easier...a little! Plus, the cast is super cute bright pink, so that brought a little sunshine to my soul! :)It has been a really hard six weeks, I love summer, especially the heat and sunshine. Its been hard avoiding both, since I can't stand it when my arm gets hot, sweaty, and swells. I have been trying to over come this trial, and find myself. I have so much fear of the future, and the unknown, but I know with strength and hope I can endure anything! I return to surgery this coming Friday to remove the hardware. Hopefully that will ease some of the pain, and I will be back to normal soon!
On a lighter note...August is over, School is back in session. Back to school post soon to follow. I'm over typing one handed so good night!
