Well, A LOT happened yesterday! When I woke up (still in DC) Mom, Nen, and I took a drive. Apparently Mom and Dad had a surprise for me that they have been planning for about 2 months now! And I had NO IDEA!! I was acutally pretty surprised, I'm usually onto this stuff. So, anyway, after driving and driving we finally ended up at a Suzuki dealership. And when we walked up the bike I have wanted fro the past year was sitting outside, brand spankin new, and it was all mine! Although they have told me over and over again thye dont want me riding, i guess they finally gave in! And bought me my BIKE!!! Its a yellow and black suzuki GSXR 600. And I love it!! I can't wait to ride. Dad told me they have been looking EVERYWHERE and no one has them. And I know that is true because all last year I looked and no one had them, except beat up or used ones. So Dad said he called all around and finally found one, untouched, and it was mine. This will give me something to look forward to everyday I'm in the hospital. And, as Dad said, instead of a promise to get one I already have it, and it is there, and I have the keys. So as soon as I'm allowed, I will be on my bike all the time!!! I'm sooo excited. I took a lot of pictures so IF MY SISTER EVER POSTS THEM, you will see them! So that was a GREAT surprise. And I CANT WAIT to be able to just ride! THANKS MOM AND DAD!
So, after we left DC, we were on a hunt for Jess! Haha! Finally we caught up with her and kidnapped her for the night. We had made plans with Lari (my nurse) and her sister, Michele (an AC cop) to spend a night in AC. When we arrived to meet Lari and Michele, they had a LIMO waiting for us!!!! They are CRAZY! Not to mention presents, balloons, rose petals... EVERYTHING! The limo driver, however, was a bit crazy. He was the nicest person ever, but a little hard on the brakes. Lari went flying into the air at one point. It was hysterical! But I think we all took our turns flying in some direction from this guy!! Our first stop was a suprise. We went to see Charlene, Rodney, and Haley. (Shelby's family) Rodney wasn't there, but we got to see Charlene and the baby, who is sooooo beautiful! We took lots of pictures, and I got to see some pictures of Shelby growing up, a beautful blanket that was made for her... it was just awesome. And Charlene is such an AWESOME person, so strong and so kind. She is such a wonderful person who just lights up a room when se walks in! We stayed there for a little while and then back into the crazy limo. So then we all went to diner at Jonathan's, which was great. And the people there were awesome! I saw Mr. & Mrs. Franz there... small world huh? After an awesome dinner we went into the city and went to the Quarters. We went and sang kareokee (however you spell it). And Jess was AWESOME!!! She sang three songs and EVERYONE was cheering for her, there were men in the back holding up lighters. She was GREAT!!!! So when we left there, we stopped in 32 degrees and I saw Jim Nickerson! haha. I always see people i know! We stayed there for a little bit and jsut hung out. When we left we went back to get the car and drove to take Jess home. Then they took me home. I didn't get into bed until around 6 AM! But it was an awesome night!! THANKS LARI AND MICHELE and JESS FOR GOING!
So now I'm laying in bed being lazy... I do that so well. And am deciding what I will do today. I only have 4 days til I have to go back, and am DREADING IT! But as Randy said, 28 days is expected for regular people, I'm going to try to be out in 27!!!! So thanks everyone for everything. Cards, prayers, notes, presents, visits, EVERYTHING. And please remember the prayer list... Jess, Randy, Richter and Ruark families, Pop Pop Rossi, Mullhollands, and everyone esle that needs them. THanks again and I'll see you all soon!
