What I have been up to - real life...

I never thought I would be so grateful for laundry and grocery shopping.  Now to be fair, I have never really minded laundry but grocery shopping/menu planning and I have a love/hate relationship...mostly hate.  But of late I go to the grocery store almost every day and I love making dinner.  I anticipate that at some point the novelty of this will wear off but for now, we are enjoying sitting down together and eating dinner and I mostly listen to our girls talk about their day.  I am enjoying and am grateful for the simple parts of life.

Other than that I can do whatever I feel up to each day.  That mostly entails running errand and attempting to put some new decor up in the house - it was really outdated.  I continue to heal and am being patient with the time frame.  I keep reminding myself that my body has been through alot over the past few months and it will take at least one year and maybe two to have the normal amount of energy.  I am however able to do what I want (mostly) as long as it doesn't involve crowds since my immune system is still in it's baby phase.  So no church on Sunday and no Costco on Saturday.  I do get out and walk each day or ride my bike on the trainer in the basement - my muscles are very weak due to muscle wasting that is a side effect of steroids I am taking. 

One of the funnest things was taking a hike with Loren below Snowbasin.  I catergorize it as a hike but it was probably more of a walk but we were outside in the sunshine and fresh air, walking on packed snow and just enjoying the great outdoors.  

I feel very lucky and blessed that I have felt so good since I have been home.  We have been healthy so far and the doctors have been pleased with the progress I have been making.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.  We feel blessed to have such great friends.
