Almost Summer!

Well everyone, I hope you all had a good week, because I did; it was good and busy. So my parents came down on Friday afternoon so they could go to the big auction in the HPER. I let my parents sleep in my queen bed because there’s no way they could sleep in my full size bed. Before they got here, I changed the sheets and pulled the bed out away from the wall so they both can get to their sides easier. I had to work the auction on Friday night; most of the football team was signed up to work. The jobs varied from parking cars, waiting on tables, showing auction items to running the games in the back of the gym. I heard we made somewhere around a hundred thousand dollars. I was tipped very well on Friday night and made seventy dollars from my table. Then on Saturday was the Green/White game. It is is our big scrimmage of the spring and is the last time we all will be together before the beginning of next season. I couldn’t play in the scrimmage, because my ankle isn’t full recovered yet, but I’m sure making great progress with it and still rehabbing it everyday. My boss for my internship called me on Friday and was checking in on how things were going, and we talked a little more on what I will be doing this summer and that they are getting ready for me. I will be starting on Monday, May 11th and have to head out to a conference on my very first day, so I’m excited to start right away and to do many different things during my internship. Today, I went to the Library to study for my accounting test tomorrow at 8 in the morning, so I have to do a little more studying then I’m off to bed. I hope you all have a great week, and if you’re a student here at Tech, you all better start thinking about finals, because this is our last week before them which puts us around twelve days until school’s out for summer!

Mobile Once a Again!!!

Hello to all my loyal blog readers! Well great news everyone: I got my cast cut off today, and I’m not going to lie, it’s amazing not to feel restricted. I was not even put into a walking boot. The doctor told me just to rehab my ankle and knee. When the doctor cut my cast off, I walked right after and still had a gimp to my step, but after a while it went away. I can drive again, and Mav and I will be doing rehab until I’m back and good to go. He said that we aren’t going to rush anything and are just going to take it slow. So I have been doing the ABC’s, which is outlining the letters of the alphabet with your foot. Well my parents came down today and brought me the hunting truck. My dad picked me up from practice and we came back here while my mom brought us dinner from the Bonanza Freeze. Then after we ate, I brought them over to the house that I’m thinking about moving into after this year. My parents will be coming back on Friday for the Digger Auction and the Green/White game. Event though I’m not playing, they still want to see how the team is looking. My aunt and uncle are going to the Digger Auction with my parents like they did last year; they all had a really fun time. So this is the last week of spring football, and it has gone really fast. I only got to practice for about half of spring this year, which really sucks, but when you get hurt your focus is really all about the fall. Well everyone, if you aren’t keeping track, just keep reading my blog and I’ll be updating you on how many days are left in the semester. There are only eighteen days left until summer will officially begin, and those eighteen days are not just school days so we don’t have much longer. Well everyone have a great week!!!!

Out For Spring Football!

Well everyone, my right leg is all casted up after I hurt my right knee and ankle last Tuesday during football practice. We were doing a drill called runway, and I took a step and my foot got stuck in the mushy ground and my knee popped then my ankle popped as well. I was a hooting and hollering when I hit the ground but luckily I didn’t do anything to my ACL. So on Thursday afternoon I went to our team’s orthopedic surgeon, and we decided to cast my right leg until next Monday, April 20, 2009. So everyone, if you haven’t ever tried to walk with crutches before, they suck so badly. Your triceps get sore really fast, and it takes you so long to get around everywhere. And the crutches aren’t the half of it. Since I have a cast on my foot now, the parents decided to take my truck away for this week until I get my walking cast on next Monday. They took it away so I didn’t have any urges to try and drive. It really stinks not being able to drive, since my life is so hectic. My parents came down for my appointment on Thursday, so my dad drove me and my truck home. We didn’t have school on Friday; they were calling it a mini spring break. Friday, my parents and I went fishing, which was really hard since I always help my dad out with the boat and everything. It was hard to just sit there and have him do everything. We didn’t catch anything but really didn’t try to fish that hard. I dropped a pole in the lake a couple weeks earlier, and we tried to snag it for at least two hours. On Saturday night, my dad talked to one of his old friends who scuba dives, so my dad is going to have him dive down and get our pole. On Saturday, I went to Bozeman with Abby and her parents so we could have Easter with her family. Her two little twin nieces had a blast at the Easter egg hunt, and then we went to the mall and saw the Easter Bunny. After the mall we had a barbeque at her brother’s house and came back around seven that night. Sunday we had dinner at my house. We cooked fajitas and nachos, and Abby, Vance, Autumn and Brad all came over so we had a really nice dinner. Abby drove me home last night and stayed the night. We really didn’t do anything but watch a little TV and go to bed. She went home this morning after she dropped me off at the HPER so I could try to lift, which didn’t work out. You don’t really realize how much you push off your foot when you do upper body lifting.
