SO EXCITED!!!!!
One of our best friends J.R. Norton proposed to a wonderful woman, named Jessica White a.k.a Jess, on Thursday evening (November, 5th). They will be getting married some time next spring or summer.
I am so excited that J.R. has found someone who loves him for who he is and cares so much for his children. He has been through so much in the last 3+ years he deserves to be happy. Jess is amazing with Peyton (5) and Brooklyn (2.5). For those of you that don't know J.R. has primary custody of the kids. She is a great step-mother to them and treats them as if they were her own. She truly has their best intrest at heart, which hasn't always been the case with their real mother.
I am honored that Jess has asked me to be her Maid of Honor and J.R. asked Brian to be a groomsman.Jess and I spent close to 2 hours on the phone last night planning and looking at dates, dresses, decorations, locations, and pretty much anything else you can imagine that goes with weddings. I have been a bridesmaid before (Levi and Branigan King), but we lived so far away I was unable to get involved with planning and showers. So I am very excited to be able to help and go look at dresses with her and her mom. I will be contacting her mom soon to see if she would like to plan a Bridal Shower with me.
We love you both so much and if there is anything you need just call. This can be a stressful time in a relationship. Take your time, enjoy it. You will never get this time back. Make sure that you aren't just preparing for a wedding, prepare for a marriage. A lot of times that gets lost in the planning of a wedding but it is so much more important than the colors or flowers or whatever else may come up. Make sure you take this time to focus on the two of you and making sure you are still nurturing that bond.
So to J.R. and Jess CONGRATULATIONS, I am so happy for you. You are both in my prayers and thank you so much for involving me in such a joyous occasion!
Well Sunday afternoon Brian and I went into the woods to get firewood. It went really fast we didn't have any hang ups and as we were loading up I was climbing in and Brian said hold on don't move. Trying to be a good guy and move the seat back (because I had been driving) so I could get turned around to sit down. He reached down and pulled the lever. Well being that we were parked on a hill the seat went SLAMMING back and all of my weight was resting on that arm. Well it jammed my shoulder pretty good. Driving down the mountain was pretty painful and I waited until the next morning to see how I felt. It was pretty apparent that it was hurt. So Brian came home from work early and he drove me to Libby to the hospital. The Dr (who was my Dr when I had kidney stones last month or whenever that was) said it is probably torn and with your history we may be looking at a pretty bad tare. But lets do 3-4 weeks of Physical Therapy and go from there. If it still hurts I am supposed to call him and he will order an MRI. So this sucks. Please be praying that this heals well and quickly. This is really slowing down my typing which is going to slow school down a lot.
