Sister Time


Last night Clayton went to Ryland's bachelor party. While he was gone I went out with my sister, Sierra. Sierra is awesome. Her roommate was performing with the UVU women's choir, so we went with a couple of her friends to support Marylynn. Both the men's chorus and the women's chorus performed, and they were both really good. Not as good as BYU's choir though ;). 



After the concert Sierra and I went to her other friend's apartment to hang out. We ended up grilling deer, streaks, brats, and some amazing chicken. We played darts, looked at this guy's giant gun that had a 25 revolver attached to it, drank a bunch of energy drinks, and had a Fast and Furious style feast. It was a manly night. 
One of the guys owns a dragon lizard, named Richard. I usually avoid reptiles of all types, but Richard was really cool. His stomach was really soft, which I wasn't expecting when I picked him up, he runs really fast, and his favorite food is celery. 


I left around midnight and found a boot on my car! Apparently, even though I parked in "visitors parking", if you're there at 12 you will get a boot or your car will get towed. I was mad. One would think that there would be a sign, within at least 100 feet of the visitors parking, that would tell you the rules. I have a huge grudge against the Provo parking police. Every apartment building has different rules and different parking curfews, and they charge an insane amount of money. Preying on poor, college students. Those jerks. 

Yesterday we also went down to Spanish Fork to hang out with Dani and the girls. Penny, the 18 month little girl, can do a legit tummy roll. She cracks us up. Check it out:

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...
