On April 1st - Yes April Fool's Day - Dustin took apart the kid's old portable basketball stand that had broke. I was helping him move the base (it had most of the sand out of it but was still heavy!), I lost my grip and dropped my side on my left shin/foot. Holy Crap did it hurt!
I scraped skin off of my shin and my ankle/foot was bruised hard! I could hardly walk on it. After about 5 days almost my whole left foot had turned black and blue! It freaked me out so I went to a podiatrist to have some x-rays taken but luckily I did not break anything. I was told to keep taking Ibuprofen and he gave me some physical therapy exercises to do every night, at home. These pictures are dark and don't show all of the bruising but it gives you an idea.
Now after a month my bruising is almost gone and the therapy has really helped. I have been walking normal for almost a week! We got the kid's a new portable basketball stand. In case you were wondering, I stayed inside the house while Dustin and the kids put it together. :)
Having a place to go is HOME - Having someone to love is FAMILY - Having both is a BLESSING -

Lordy, Lordy Look Who's 40!
Yes - Dustin and I have hit the BIG 40! I can't believe it! Don't you remember when you were young and you think 40 is soooo old!
Our first celebration was before our birthdays and to celebrate with our cute nephew Hunter who turned 5!

Dustin is 10 days older than me so for his actual birthday I had invited some family and close friends to a "Mini" Surprise party. I told him the morning of his birthday about the party! And - he was very surprised but he was fine about it. The kids and I took him to dinner and then came back to the house for the party. It was on a Tuesday night but we had a pretty good turnout. I really appreciate everyone who was able to be there. I could tell he had a great time!

On my birthday, I went to lunch with one of my BFF's Jen - she is wonderful! We went to Archibald's in Gardner Village and then walked around the shops. Later on when the kids came home from school, everyone gave me presents! I received a cute new purse and Dustin SPOILED me with a 3 hour pamper package at The Cottage Retreat Spa in Gardner Village. I get a pedicure, facial and a massage! I can't wait to get this booked! Then we went to dinner at Lonestar. We also had family over for my favorite Brownies and Ice Cream!!
