Surgery = over!

What kind of a blogger am I? Goodness, I haven't updated in quite some time. Yes I have my excuses....missions trip to Ecuador prep, planning all the decorations for a valentines day dance, getting surgery.
Wait. Did I just say getting surgery?

Wow!

It's a beaut, isn't it?
Right after surgery



It's been a week, and who knew? It's crazy. I got surgery, my clavicle is fixed! I can't exactly type a long post because it kind of hurts to have my arm in this position and my fingers have discovered spazzing out is a new hobby they enjoy, but I am well and alive and surgery went fantastic. I have spent a week watching Say Yes to the Dress, The Office, Monk, and some action movies and oh my gosh SHOOT ME NOW I am so sick of lying in a bed doing nothing. I am not allowed to move my arm at all past the elbow and they had to graph my knee so it keeps collapsing when I walk. Gah. Only 5 more weeks till I am out of this cast!

This is Ferkle. He is my friend via IV/freckle/IV tape.
My nephew snuggled with me <3
On the plus side, my doctors were very attractive. I have some stories to tell from the hospital, but those will wait until another time. I am supposed to be trying to sleep now...so I guess I need to stop typing...but I am alive! My shoulder is healing, and my brain is slowly frying from the boredomness. Well...I'm off to watch more Say Yes to the Dress. Avwa!

I believe

Competing at 13. I got 1st! This is my mom and I.
I believe in the simplest things. I believe in the smallest miracles. I believe in rainy days and I believe in nervous butterflies. I believe in holding hands and butterfly kisses. I believe in tiny inspiring things and rainbows in a waterfall. I believe in tea and walks alone in the snow. I believe in random acts of craziness and tears. I believe in baggy sweaters, fingerless gloves, and fuzzy hats. I believe in bare faces without makeup and still feeling beautiful. I believe in living. This is our life...we need to live it. We need to have faith. We need to be passionate while we are still young. We need to find inspiration and spread it across the seas and countries. We need to laugh and smile and throw our faces toward the sun. We need to create. Live. Inspire.
