Knee Update:

So I finally got an MRI on Tuesday and went to the doctor today to figure out what the problem is.

Sadly, it is my ACL.

The doctor said I had a partial tear in my ACL and also a torn ligament on the outside of my knee.

The ligament will heal itself  but is the most painful part!

The doctor was surprised it was my ACL because my knee feels so stable so for now the plan is to do physical therapy for 2 weeks to see if it'll start to heal itself. 

If the physical therapy doesn't work then I'll need surgery.

I'm okay waiting a bit because I wouldn't be able to have surgery until presidents day weekend (because of student teaching and lacrosse).

So for now, I work on making my leg better.
I really hope the physical therapy works.
This process is absolutely killing me.

Outside of my knee, student teaching is great.

Alex doesn't have a horrible schedule this semester and is just busy with his job!

We'll do more updating later!

I feel so grown up!

Christmas in Florida

We had a great time this Christmas break!

We got to go to Naples, Florida, which is were my parents live now and spend time with my family.

We all left on Sunday the 18th and stayed until January 2nd.

We played a lot of golf (Alex got pretty good), tennis, and card games.

We caught up with some old friends and enjoyed socializing.

We went wakeboarding multiple times, but also on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Here's some pictures from the trip:

 Alex and Kenny ready to golf.

 More wakeboarding.

The new wake ski's.

Sadly on New Year's Eve I was using my dads new wake skis (they're like water ski's but wider and lighter so you can jump the wake and do tricks) and I was trying to a surface 180 when my left leg went one way and my right leg went the other way. I heard a loud pop and just screamed in pain. I went to the doctor and they think I tore my ACL. I have to wait until Thursday to find out for sure. It's really horrible timing for me to get hurt and I can't believe I was being so dumb! But we're hoping for the best. 

Other than that we had an awesome time. I love getting to spend time with my parents and my siblings. We had a great time with Nash as well.

We can't wait to go back.

We're also so glad we only have to wait until February to see my mom and dad again!

Wakeboarding on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas!

I'm done!

Hello Christmas Break!

Goodbye finals forever!

 

Alex will be joining soon.

He has a dumb teacher who has a final the very last day.

Boo.

Fa la la.

This week is my last week of classes EVER.

Next semester I will be student teaching and I finally found out where I'm going. 

Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah.

I'm so excited to start my path as a health teacher.
