Often times we take life and the simple things in life for granted. I am often reminded of the little things that make me smile, such as the mountains and streams of Central Oregon. Lately I have been reminded just how lucky I am to have a husband that truly loves me and cares about me.
Mike fell off the bed of his semi on February 13th and has been in a chair ever since the 15th. With a rod in his leg, 4 plates and 36 screws holding his leg and ankle together I am reminded of how lucky I am.
Mike may be home for good now, this very well is an injury that could force an early retirement. I can just see the VISA bill going up with fishing and hunting gear. He is dreaming of new careers and spending a lot of time watching television. I tried to teach him to blog, but he got lost at turning on the computer.
My point here is - be thankful, be gracious and love each-other. We were lucky it is just a leg - none of us know what tomorrow will bring. Make the most of today and plan for tomorrow. Enjoy being able to get your own cup of coffee, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
Mike and I find out if a bone graph is necessary in about 3 weeks - so keep him in your thoughts -
Ok.... now you have all seen the most current photo without glasses


Thesa, please tell your hubby that I hope he feels much better very soon and that if he runs up the Visa for fishing gear he should make certain to catch alot of fish!
Fingers crossed for good news in 3 weeks.
Thesa - You are indeed lucky that it wasn't worse. It's hard to see somone you love go through this..and it's also hard for you, too. I love the picture of you two...what a great looking couple! Here's to a speedy recovery and lots of good fish to eat!
Thesa,
You once told me on the phone that he was always traveling and you didn't see him much ...well now is your chance....take advantage of it...although he is injured ....you might as well bask in the glory of time lost.:)
What a shame to hear about your hubby's accident. Providing he has a fast healing, maybe there will be a golden side to the experience. Travel, new hobbies? Sounds good to me.
Hi Thesa,
I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby's injury, you both will be in my thoughts & prayers. I'm loving your new photo!!! ;)
Thesa,
I'm taking some time to read blogs and I love yours. In todays society everyones schedule is so rushed, so much to do with so little time. We seem to take the people in our everyday life for granted. When really we need to be giving them more of us. I have leaned that when I bet Bruce and had Sam. Cherish the people who love you, and the peolpe who you love.
Take Care, heidi
Hi Thesa,
So sorry to hear about Mike's accident. I'll keep good thoughts for you both. Let us know how things go once you hear more.
Thesa - Ok, so I'm obviously a little behind the AR curve. (It's been a crazy week) First, that's a wonderful picture of you and Mike. You guys look fantastic! I am sorry to hear about the bone graph... we'll keep you both in our prayers! God bless you!
Thesa,
Thanks for posting about Mike and his recuperation. We'll be praying about the bone graft. He's a fortunate man to have someone like you. God bless you both.
