This past week Jordan graduated from middle school and we had family in town, which was awesome. My niece Erin, nephew Ryan, and father-in-law Charley all made the trip from San Jose to watch Jordan's "promotion". We knew that Jordan had a commencement speech to do, but we had no idea what she was going to say, she wouldn't let us read it ahead of time. She was fantastic, didn't have one ounce of stage fright. She is so comfortable in front of an audience it's amazing. Her speech was approximately 5-6 minutes long and she had us cracking up one minute and crying the next. We've tried to attach it to both emails and Facebook, but I think it might be too long because it's not working. Don't worry family, we're not done trying, Johnny is going to attempt to split it in half and send it. I don't know if that is possible, but he's going to try. It's definitely worth checking out. We're so stinking proud of her.
Since we had guests over, I attempted to help clean the house and run around more than I have done in months. I actually felt GREAT for two whole days and I wasn't even limping, almost back to normal. What a great feeling. But then, it all came crashing down Thursday after everyone left and I crawled back into bed. I was hurting so bad that I was almost shaking :( I guess I over did it. It sure sucks that I cant enjoy a couple "normal" days anymore. What the heck? I'm still kind of out of it and her promotion was three days ago...bummer. Time to take it easy.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
