The Sun is here!!

Spring is almost here, the weather is getting nicer and nicer each day!! I am busy planning the wedding, the the last few fine details done and out of the way. I am also working 3 jobs. Monday March 29th is my last day at the college. I put in my notice. I am still working at Aldi, it has been just over a year. I recently got a new job at North Country Ford Lincoln Mercury in Coon Rapids. So Far I like. There are a few things I still need to learn, but I have caught on pretty quick.

Pat and I will be moving in May. We do not care for the apartment we are in-it is kind of crappy. We are moving to North Pointe, down the street from my mom :) I get to live on the street I grew up on. That is my mom's dream, to have all of her children close to her... ha ha so kidding.

Hope all is well!! Looking forward to August and seeing you all!!

Love,

Brandi

Spring in Washington

Spring has sprung in the Evergreen State!

I, however, am not out enjoying it because I am recovering from my "Joe Theisman" type of leg break. I made it 42 years without so much as a stitch and I basically broke my leg off skiing a few weeks back. I am a ski Instructor at the same resort but it didn't happen when I was giving a lesson...just rippin it up on my own. I no longer feel the need for speed.

It was a compound fracture of both the tibia and fibia (sp?), and a little know 3rd leg bone that "floats" down there. I now have a titanium rod running from my knee to my ankle holding all the bones in place.

The Dr. says there may be more surgeries to come, but we'll have to wait and see about that. It will be 8 weeks before I can walk again. I'm taking a month off work and my Spring Break week will be 5 weeks off fro healing. After that, I will have to be in a wheel chair for a few weeks. Just keeping you updated.

Thanks for the Care Package, Myrna!

Love, Ron

p.s. everyone else is fabulous!
