17 Years and Counting

Today is our 17th anniversary.  Who would have ever thought it?  :)  We are looking forward to another 17 or more years together.

Steve has been up and down the past few days.  Last night he got sick.  He was doing fine and then wham he was sick.  This really wiped him out and he went to bed early.  It was Deadliest Catch where Captain Phil passed away.  That is why I didn't post last night.  The episode upset me.  I really loved Captain Phil.  The show will not be the same without him.  I also liked the tribute to him after the show.  I remember when the show began; it was so exciting. My favorite boat is the Northwestern.  Steven got up this morning and was really iffy.  We think it might have been because he actually slept on his left side.  He woke up and his sides were really sore.  When he is in pain, it goes throughout his whole body and attitude.  He went and got his haircut and ate breakfast at the Red Barn.  After that, we went home and Steven rested.

After noon, we met Tim, Carlie, Grandma and Grandpa and went to Julia's volleyball game in Springfield.  Aubree and Amelia went with us.  Julia is a great player.  She will really knock them dead when she is on a school team.  We are very proud of her.  Aubree and Brian had a good time together.  This afternoon really took it out of Steven.  I know this because it is A Minute to Win It night and he is already sleeping in his chair.  He will be upset when he wakes because he loves that show.  I was proud of him for the outing.  I think the more he pushes it, the better off he will be.  He will not regain his strength by sitting.  He is going to have to move a little everyday.  I think he realizes this, but it is hard to do if you think you will not feel better later.  We are seeing improvements daily and when he has a setback he is recovering quicker everyday.
