Believe it or Not

After much "encouragement" from the Walkers in Ouray, I've decided I'd better post a little blog.
Let's see -- my back surgery is over although I did have to stay in the hospital for 3 days, not just 1 and the only people who sent chocolate were Kim and Keith. But I'm not bitter and that's good. What is really wonderful is that I feel great. I never have backaches. I must have had that cyst for years!
Ben graduated May 18 and is headed for Texas Tech around the 20th of August.
Rick, Ben and I went to Italy for 10 days in May and had a delightful time. The favorite Italian stop was the Cinque Terre.
Rick, Ben, Lindsay, Justin and I just got back from a Walker family reunion in Ouray. It was great fun and so good to spend time with those we love.
I'm going back to school beginning August 16. I'll be going to UTD and getting the hours I need to be a speech pathologist assistant. I'll be able to do therapy with patients but won't make their goals or plans. Since I already have a special ed degree, it will only take me two semesters so hopefully I'll be able to start working next May.
In September, we'll get our new granddaughter -- Sophie June Morris.
Rick's firm has lots of work which is a good thing! Right now he has a bad toothache. Hopefully he'll call Doug soon and get it fixed!
I have some moe stuff to say and thoughts to share but I think I'll stop now and post more about thoughts later.
