Mid Semester

It is officially half way through the winter semester. It went so fast! This week went by incredibly fast! It is boggling my mind. 

Today was my last skiing day. I now know how to classic and skate cross country ski. I've really enjoyed being a part of the Sundance crowd. Their so outdoorsy and cool.

It was so beautiful and clear up there today, I had to take some pictures.

Midterms are in full swing. This week I have three, next week I have two, and every week for the next 5 weeks I have at least 1 test. 

Tomorrow is our biggest basketball game of the year. We are playing Gonzaga, who is currently #1 in our conference. We're #2, and there is a very small chance that we might actually beat them.  I say a very small chance because they are an amazing team, but we're still excited to go.

Also very exciting, we are finding out where we are moving soon!!! ...well hopefully. Our friend Ryland said that someone from Goodyear told him that we should be finding out where we will all be assigned to go within the next few weeks. So, I'm not really sure if that will happen, but I really hope so!
The sooner we find out, the sooner I can start looking for jobs, or possibly grad schools. CrAzY!
We started looking at couches. Clayton said that he wants either of these two because they're long enough that he can lay down on them and not have his feet hanging off. Tall people problems. Sure glad I don't have that problem :).



We were super fortunate to move into an apartment that was mostly furnished right after we got married, but when we move we will have to start from scratch (besides the few book shelves that we bought). I had no idea couches were so expensive! We'll probably actually end up buying used furniture, but for now it's fun to look around.

First Day of Kindergarten

Image
Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

To Kathy

Image
Last Tuesday we were having a Johnson family conference call when Scott told us that Kathy's health was really going downhill and that he thinks we need to be there soon. We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time ...

Reconstructed ACL

Image
When's the best time to get surgery? January! Because then you hit your deductible, and your health insurance will pay for the rest of the year of physical therapy appointments! Yay! Clayton tore his ACL playing basketball a couple months ago. After an MRI and a few visits with a specialist, he was told that he would need knee surgery. He was surprisingly cheery about it. The nurses at Cleveland Clinic really liked him, they said they wished that every patient was like him. After he was sanitized and hooked up, the nurse led me to the back to see him before the operation. As we were walking she asked me if Clayton is usually a chatty guy. I said yes, and she said that she thinks he's a little nervous because he is talking everyone's ear off. haha. Sure enough, I go sit down next to him, and he's cracking jokes and babbling about nothing the whole time. In fact, that hyper chattiness didn't die down until 3 days post op. Percocet reaction? Everything...
