Woke up this morning and hung out with the kiddos. We played Junior Scrabble, read some books, and played hide and go seek. Macie played too. :p I quizzed Wilson on his NFL helmets and he did a great job! That boy is adorable...Elly is growing up to be such a sweet girl, too. I have the best niece and nephew in the world. You disagree, and I will fight you. 'Nuff said. :)
Dad and I went to the store and got an SD card for my video camera. I'm going to start a video diary of my recuperation process so that people having surgery after me can see how the whole thing pans out. We got an SD card, picked up Lion's Choice for the family, and brought it back. Ryan, Mom, Dad, the kids and I ate our food while trying to figure out the riddles Ryan threw our way.
After lunch, Ryan, Dad, and I headed to the Botanical Gardens. Ryan's newfound love for plants has piqued my interest as well, so we visited the oldest continually operating botanical gardens in the US. We visited the Climatron and Shaw's house. It was super interesting, and I want to go back when the plants outside are all in bloom. We went from there to the Galleria. I found some good after Christmas deals, and then we grabbed dinner at CPK. As we were sitting there eating, I ran into both Christina Andrade and Jesslyn Vezeau-Shipp. It was soooo good to see them and catch up a little bit. I missed those ladies.
We left the Galleria and headed back to Gretchen's house. I accidentally fell asleep on the couch and woke up to Mom, Gretchen, and the kids coming in from the mall. Elly decided to make late-night cupcakes as Wilson went back to commentating the football bowl games. The kids gave Ryan one last good night hug and went to sleep. Now Mom, Dad, Gretchen, and I are talking about Tuesday. When I'm getting to the hospital, when the procedure starts, how I need to prepare, etc. Basically trying to figure out how this upcoming week is going to work. Is it strange that I'm getting somewhat excited? Of course I am terrified in some ways, but I know that this is going to improve my quality of life. Later on in life I will be SO glad I had this procedure done. It's scary now, but it couldn't come at a more opportune time in life. I'm single, done with school, no job, and at the right place mentally and spiritually. Let's see how it goes! :)
