We’ve had such a busy week and the weekend hasn’t even started yet. Although it’s been busy, it’s been fun. On Tuesday, Steve and Kris came down for Steve’s check up following his hip replacement. He got a thumbs up from the Dr. and can graduate to one crutch or a cane if he wants to. He’s still having a lot of itching, which started immediately following the surgery, so we are hoping that his allergy Dr. can figure out why he keeps itching and have a remedy for it. Of all the problems that we were worried about with this surgery, we never would have guessed that the worst part of it would be the itching. After his appointment, we all went out to eat at Famous Dave’s to celebrate Andy and Steve’s birthdays, which are Sat. and Sun. Happy Birthday guys!! On Wednesday, Jaxson and I went to Hubbard to help Brandon around the house. I have wanted to get my hands on his house for a long time now to give it a good scrub down, since it’s turned into your typical bachelor pad. So I thought what better good time than when he’s laid up and will actually ask for some help. Mom and I spent most of the day out there cleaning and we had to remind Brandon not to help us, but we would occassionally find him doing things that he shouldn’t be. While cleaning, Brandon mentioned that he really wanted to get curtains for all of the windows and I mentioned something about slapping a fresh coat of paint on the walls. So tomorrow we are going back up for the weekend to do an episode of Extreme Makeover: Farmhouse Edition. Stay tuned on Monday for some great before and after pics. After cleaning all day, my grandma had us all over for a great meal. There’s nothin’ like your grandma’s cookin’. On Thursday, Jaxson and I went back out to the farm to do some more cleaning. I had a great time scrubbing his kitchen floor on my hands and knees for three hours. I’m sure feeling it today, but it looks a lot better and now I will walk on it without my shoes on. Brandon’s recovery is coming along very well. His first night at his house was on Wed. night, which he said was pretty rough. He had to wake up at least once to take pain pills. He does pretty well during the day, but has to stop a few times to take pills and rest, which is what he should be doing, but won’t. Tonight we are having our friends, Mike, Brandy, Jack, and Ben over for some pizza. We are looking forward to it because Jaxson and Jack haven’t seen each other in a while. Then it’s off to Hubbard for the weekend.
An intense game of Memory.
