As previously written I was kind of bummed I was missing out on a few key events this weekend, so I am surprised to say the weekend is one that will go down in the books as a great time!
Dad came down Friday night; he looked like a pack mule from all the snacks he brought me. We spent all day Saturday watching college football and munching on my buffet of snacks. The Aggies didn’t have a great game but not going to hate on them; I bleed maroon win or lose! Then Dad got to take me for a wheelchair ride outside! The first time I saw the sun (and anything outside the four walls of my hospital room!) in over a month! The sunlight was almost overwhelming but well worth the squints! Cole did a good job of sending me pictures and updates during Weldon & Alyson’s’ wedding reception and even said he wished I was there to dance with!
Sunday was a day of great company. Tiffany and Marshall (some college friends I hadn’t seen in years) stopped by on their way home from the wedding. It was great catching up and seeing her baby pooch. I remember when I was that small. Clay and Violet stopped by on their way back from College Station and Mom, Wade, and Cole spent all afternoon with me. Cole surprised me with a ROCK’N new pair of shoes (he knows the way to my heart)! AND I got them on and tied all by myself! Mom, Wade, Cole, and I ate a real meal, meaning no hospital food (steak, broccoli, and mashed potatoes to be exact!) at a real table! Then they took me for another visit outside!
As you can tell I had a great weekend for a number of reasons! Another example of how I couldn’t do all this without my team and cheerleaders!
