Bye Bye Bunion...

So Hayden and I have many things in common and are a lot alike. His friends all tell me I am the female version of him. One of these things we share is our bunions! In case you don't know, a bunion is a bone on the side of your foot (by your big toe) that grows out and pushes your other toes to the side. Kinds hard to explain, but they can become very painful. Mine don't bother me all that much, but Hayden's hurt him what with walking around campus, being a waiter and doing Summer Sales. We decided to get his removed! Or at least one for now. :) He did it through lifetree research meaning they performed the surgery for free and then he was used to test out pain medications for 2 days at the hospital for which he will be compensated for. The surgery went really well but the medication didn't work very well. I missed him a lot those two days but was glad when I got to pick him up!! Now he is recovering really well and is walking around bit in a boot. :)

Yay for Family!!

Hello world! We have been gone for a while... quick update. Christmas was great!! We went to Bakersfield to be my parents. It was just Hayden, Brian and I. Julie, Jodi and their families came a few days after. We were all exciting with anticipation for Eric's arrival home from his mission in Chile on New Year's Day. We picked him up from the airport that day and it was so fun! We were all thrilled!! Eric truly has grown and matured so much! But then again he is the same old Eric too. :) We were all wondering if he was gonna be "just got home off my mission weird" but he wasn't at all. That first night we watched the Dark Night. Anyway, it was so fun to all be together after two years! I love my family so much and it is sad/weird to think Brian will be missing next Christmas.
