Update

Dave jumped into the pool again for more therapy. Come to find out, he is able to have more control over his legs. So, all is well--his fingers are coming a bit slower, but they are doing some shock treatment on those so hopefully something will click for him soon.

Funny story, my little 3 yr old cousin Carter. She is a little stud like the rest of her family. When me and Dave went down there to visit, we ate sunflower seeds at Kenna's softball game. Well when my aunt was reading this blog to Kenna about a week ago, Carter got the idea that she needed to send Dave something, and the first thing that came to her mind was SEEDS! So my aunt said great idea! Well, my aunt went out to the mail box and found a blank envelope, when she brought it in to look at it, she opened it and come to find out there was sunflower seeds in it, only, it was the kind you plant:) She is the sweetest funniest little thing ever!

So, If you guys havent heard, Dave has had some movement with his legs in the pool. Well, last night he let me know that during therapy he was doing some dips for his tricepts and he managed to pull himself up with his hamstrings!! He was so happy that there was some movement without being in the pool. Thanks so much to everyone for there prayers and thoughts, things are starting to click again!!

P.S. Im happy because I just watched Troy Polamalu shut down Adrian Peterson...

I may also have a secret crush on Polamalu:)

Ultimate Frisbee

So, when you think ultimate frisbee, it's not usually how you tell about meeting someone. I NEVER thought that frisbee was a sport. I mean, really!? There is no contact! So, go a head send in your arguments, they will be read, probably laughed at and then I will continue teasing you because you like frisbee:) I had one of my friends insist that we go to a young single adults thing (because her parents were making her) so she decided to make me come along. Well we got there, ate,......and that's about it. We were headed out to go when a group of cowboy (seriously, cowboy, I was nervous they had cattle prods) looking men asked us if we want to play frisbee. Of course my best friend said yes, and it was on from there. The guys decided that they wanted to play guys vs girls, and that's fine by me, so all the guys decided who they wanted to guard, no one picked me. Then I heard one of they guys giggling and saying how no one wanted to guard the girl in the pink--after that I was going to play nice, not no more. The pink snake skin shoes came of, along with the bling bling, and the horns came out. But I did everything with a cute little smile:) Now, walking up on this crowd of boys I noticed that the only one that caught my eye was one in a North Carolina hat "and no hair"-alexis bailey. He claims he tried the whole time to guard me. I think he was thinking it was all fun and games until I out-jumped him, and out-ran him. After the brutal beating we all circled up to talk. One of Dave's friends asked for my best friends numbers, and Dave, was no where to be found. So i figured that if he wanted my number bad enough, he would come find me and ask. So, we left. My friend (Charlsee) was texting Dave's friend (Nick) back and fourth while we were driving into town. At the same time Charlsee sent a text saying Chyna wants Dave's number, Nick sent a text saying that Dave wants Chyna's number. About five minutes after those texts were exchanged, I got a phone call from Dave and people let me tell ya, it was the most awkward conversation of my LIFE. He didnt know what to say and I was getting the giggles because he was so cute and nervous. And things kinda just went from there...The only thing that freaked me out from there on out was his age...HAHA! But, dont worry, I'm checking on the life insurance policy if we get married!

I thought it would be interesting to also put up Dave's side of the story--So here we go...

Dave will be in blue,...And I will be in pink:)

I almost didnt go that night, all the cowboys were going and I was at Home Depot looking at stuff for my parents deck. We never got done until later and I called Nick and he talked me into going to for a minute. I went up there and I was like man these things are so dumb, they make them for people to meet and it never happens. How do you even do it Nick? Its easy, you just walk up to girls if they want to play football. Pretty soon a girl walked up and asked if we wanted to play frisbee, I had only been there for five minutes. And I went over there and I was seeing if there was anybody cute--Are you writing everything im saying? Well yeah!! AHHHH!!!!

Your trouble!! Anyways, so then nobody picked you up to guard, they wouldnt guard the girl in pink so I took you. She thought she was pretty good, but I out ran her and out jumped her. yeah whatever helps you sleep at night. We wont that night by the way...NO YOU DIDNT!! Yeah we did! I scored 2 times, compaired to my 4 weeellll,...anyways by the end of the night I dont remember or care who won. My buddies friend was standing awkwardly fifteen feet away and I knew that she wanted to talk, but she wouldnt come talk to me so I walked over there. When I looked over some little schmeckle was asking Chyna for her number, so the phones came out and he got her number, good thing he only called twice:)Um, so then i came over to the group and the girls decide they are going to leave and I thought to myself I just got screwed. And one of they guys said that I should run after you and I said no that would be gay,...the funny thing is, I told Charlsee that if he really wanted my number he would chase me down an ask....So then I asked Nick to hook me up with a double, and we were getting ready to leave and I kept telling everyone how much i kicked myself in the head, and the text came at the same time that( ok Dave claims i asked for his number because the text got there first) Go a head and ask him who kissed who first,...ya little girl. well, your a lot to handle WHAT!! Oh, and so I called ya ten minutes later and I was scared! It was the most awkward phone call ever! But, I was pretty sure at the first that Chyna was going to lose interest right away, because of how many hundreds of boys were,...SHUT UP but I was pleasantly surprised that she didnt. I checked into it to make sure that I can only leave life insurance to my kids....

I have been used to catching fish for years, but this time Chyna caught me good.... is that to cheesy?

"Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.”

Aug. 21st-Dave was in a wreck. He was wearing his seatbelt and fell asleep on his way home from our house. He rolled his car and broke his neck--C6 to be exact. His spinal cord wasnt severed but bruised. He stopped to take two naps on the way home, but that wasnt enough. They paramedic that first got to Dave said that when they pulled Dave from the car, he was ableto squeeze their hands and cross his arms. The loss of that is a result of spinal shock. Spinal shock as a loss of sensation accompanied by motor paralysis with initial loss but gradual recovery of reflexes, following a spinal cord injury.

He is currently in Elks rehab in Boise Idaho, going through hours of rehab everyday. (That's what we get for putting 5$ in the "Good Karma" jar in Bozeman MT, definition of irony!!) In one way or another this is a test for all of us. BUT--those of you that know Davey-Boy understand that this is going to be something that he looks back and laughs at (once he can turn his head:)) He can move his arms all the way down to his wrists. His fingers still are not moving, but they are optomistic about things coming back the next couple weeks.

So,..now you all know pretty much what I do:) He could be transfering to Craigs in Denver, but who knows, that is his decision. I'll be updating this (and hopefully not forgetting!)
