Knee surgery

I'm sure you all know but I had knee surgery three weeks from today. What they found was plica (scar tissue) and a band in my knee that should have dissolved when I was an infant. They took out the band and smoothed out the . My knee looks pretty good. I had three incisions and one you can hardly see and the other two have just little scabs. I am going to physical therapy once a week because we have to go to Reno and that is often a pain to go three to four times a week. I have been doing the same exercises at home. I can almost straighten my leg all the way, and I can bend it about a 45 degree angle. I was only on crutches for 5 days. At first I didn't like the idea of being off them because I was so slow at walking and it was tiring and was painful, but after a few days I was only slightly limping. Now I can walk fine most of the time. But i can't stand up for a long time because my other leg gets tired.

Thank You

I'd just like to leave a little note for my parents. I'd like to thank them for all that they do and for the fun vacation to Rome they recently took the family on. It was a lot of fun and I really appreciate it. Thank you and I love you very much.
Love your eldest daughter

Track

I was ready for track season because I was starting to feel lazy. I went to 2 pre-season work outs and then I went to a week and a half of practice. It was fun to run and be with friends. I wasn't in too bad of shape and it felt good and refreshing to run, but my knee didn't agree. It was still hurting from my soccer incident. I went to the doctor again and he said to go to Physical therapy and that I can no longer do track. I was very disappointed but hopefully I will be strong, healthy and ready to play soccer in the fall.

Finals

I think that i speak for all high school students when i say, "I HATE FINALS". They are so stressful, you study for hours and you you still feel like nothing has sunken into your thick head. I am so glad that they are done even though i din't do well this semester. But i am glad that my slate will start new again on monday.

An Amazing Experience

I have an amazing friend who has an amazing spirit and personality. This whole experience took a long time but it was well worth it. First it was just do you want to come to mutual with me. then it was would you like to come to family home evening with me, then Her sister started to come to mutual and then the whole family was going to family home evening. Then she came to church soon along followed her sisters and mother. Then the missionaries started coming to Family Home Evening. Before you know it her youngest sister wanted to be baptized. every one is so excited that was in September but the other family members are not quite ready to follow in her example. After going to church for about a year, along with 8 months of missionary lessons, and mutual for years, and a month of seminary. The older sisters decide that they are ready along with their mom. Because these girls know every one in town they have a big baptism in the chaple with over 120 people there. Because Mom is much more quiet she decides to have her own baptism with only 15 special people there instead of the whole town. I am thankful for this family and how it has strengthened my testimony immensely.

PROM

I tried to put pictures up last week but I couldn't get them to download. I think I figured it out.
I went to prom with 4 other couples. It was a blast. Instead of going out for dinner we had a progressive dinner at six different houses so that all of the parents could see how we looked. We ate for about 4 hours by the time we had been to all of the houses. We only went to the dance for about half an hour when the power went out. we then stayed for 15 more minutes and the power didn't come back on so we left and went formal camping (we huddled inside around a lantern (for the light and warmth) while the power was still out). then 40 minutes later the power came on. we played the Wii. It was fun even though all the boys won.
For prom i deiced to be a match maker. 2 of my friends didn't have date so I set them with some boys from Douglas. One of my friends broke up with her boyfriend and didn't want to go with him so i found her date. Another friend wanted to go with a boy and he didn't have a date. I asked him who he would want to go with and he said my friend or another girl. After making sure that she wouldn't reject him, he decided to ask her. Every one went in my group and i was glad that they all liked their dates and had fun
