1st flight

First off I would like to apologize for not posting last Sunday, as you can tell from the title of my post I was no where near my laptop. Steve and I went to Texas for the first time. This flight wasn't just like any usual flight for me because I was able to go through the metal detector without security padding me down everywhere. It was a breeze going through security this time. For me it is weird not to tell the security person I have a pacemaker. To think that there are no metal or devices within my body, helping me to keep going amazes me. We met Steve parents, older brother, his wife and their kiddos in Texas. We flew into Dallas and Steve's parents picked us up at the airport. We then met everyone in Waco to visit Magnolia the Silos from the Fixer Upper show on HGTV. Steve and his dad are a little obsessed with the show. The place was a zoo. People every which way, lines all around and way too chaotic. It was fun seeing the silos, what Chip and Joanna did to it, the town of Waco and some areas on the show. After that we all piled in our cars and drove to Austin where we spent the rest of the trip. Seeing the town of Austin was adventurous; so much greenery every way I looked. The places we ate had great atmospheres and the food made it even better. If you haven't been to this large state I would recommend it. We liked it so much we have started to think about packing up and moving there.

Here are some pictures of the trip....

Us all having fun on a hike up in the Bee Cave area. A whole lot of crazy time with this gang so grateful them all.

This past week was good it was only a 3 day work week for me :) My cousin and her friend came up this weekend to attend a basketball camp at the U of U. It was nice to see them again, but my cousin hurt her ankle at another camp out in Snow College so I took a look at her ankle and showed her some exercises to do. On Saturday Steve hurt his back so then I showed him so exercises to do, in the end it was a 5 day work week. I am so grateful for what I am able to do and teach people things about their bodies that they didn't know. Today is Father's day and I am very blessed that my dad is my dad even when he is a wee bit coo-coo. I love him for what he is. He has taught and showed me some amazing things and I am pretty sure he always has a joke on hand whenever anyone sees him. Love you papa. Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there and especially to my crazy old one.
