Making This Blog For Real

So I figured I like to write and keep a journal, so why not blog? So I am having a new beginning with my blog and am going to keep up on it.

My summer has been weird. Not an average, "fun in the sun" summer. Seven weeks ago I had ACL reconstruction surgery. I apparently tore my ACL back in February, however I had no idea because the ER told me it was a "sprained knee." How did I tear it? Doing this...

Or lets be real here, more like this...

Thats right, snowboarding was the death of my ACL. After 12 years of playing soccer, I tore my ACL snowboarding. I guess it was bound to catch up to me eventually considering the "no fear" style of snowboarding that I put my body through every winter. So anyway, I had surgery and was in a big brace and crutches for 3 long weeks.. the longest weeks of my life.

Right after surgery...

My mom came out to help me recover. I couldn't have done it without her thats for sure!

Feeling a little better hanging out with old friends in Grand Junction, but still on my awesome crutches...

It has been hard, really hard. Probably the most difficult thing I have ever been through, but I dont regret having it done one bit. Soon I will be able to do all the things I love, like snowboarding, and sports, and being outdoors, again. I can now walk almost normally, bike, walk up and down stairs and I am getting close to being able to run again. Maybe in another couple weeks. Oh and on top of this fun surgery my mom also thought it was a good idea to get my wisdom teeth out. Summer of surgeries I guess.

There were a few fun things to happen this summer though. Such as my vacation out to Texas to visit my sister, Flying out to Denver for a Rockies game, and most recently being next to the stage at the Chris Cagle concert! Im so glad to have Hil back in Utah!

Swimming in Texas, probably the last time I will ever go there.

A couple at the Rockies Game! It was so fun even though we lost!

1. Outside Coors Field 2. Hil and I with the field in the back

And Last, Chris Cagle! Hil and I are definately Cagleheads!

We were literally right at the stage! We were so close that we had a life changing experience when he touched our hands! Haha love him!

This was a picture with the opening act, Jagertown! They were so good and their lead singer was sexy!

So that was my summer summed up. I am looking forward to school in the fall and getting my knee better!!
