Knee Trauma

Something is seriously wrong with my knee. Last week I ran 6 miles on Wednesday and for the first time my knee started hurting. At 3 miles I felt a few twinges of pain and by I barely made it through mile 6. It has hurt ever since. I can ride the bike but running is killer. Yesterday I decided to go to my chiropractor in Rock Springs to see if he could help me. He told my my feet where out of place and that was making my knees hurt. He adjusted my hip, knee and feet and sent me home with new insoles that he said would help.

On my way to Rock Springs the Expedition started shaking if I drove faster than 50 mph. It was scary and I didn't feel safe at all. I drove slowly to Rock Springs and after seeing the Chiropractor my dad went with me to take the vehicle to a mechanic. I'm glad my dad was there because I had no idea what they were talking about. All I understood is that something major was wrong and that it wasn't very safe to drive. They would tighten things and oil things so that it would make it back to Kemmerer but it would have to be driven slowly. So my dad drove the Expedition back to Kemmerer and I followed him in his car. We went 45 mph the whole way. Talk about a long trip.

So then once I was finally home again Jadon and I decided to go to the Rec Center and run so I could see if what the doctor did helped. Well it didn't. My knee is know worse than before I can hardly even walk right now and it's in constant pain. I have no idea what wrong and if it doesn't get better we're going to have to go see another doctor.

The worst part is just that I was so excited to training for the Salt Lake Marathon. It's always been a dream of mine and I was excited that it was going to come true - and now I'm afraid I might not even be able to run it. Yes, it is discouraging. And if you want to pray for my knee I'll take all the prayers I can get.

We arrived at the campground where we would be staying outside of Moab and discovered this little sign....ummm... "Mr, Sign-Maker, Dustless is impossible in Moab, please remove your sign." I'm displaying my newly bought gluten free wares from inside our lovely itty-bitty cabin Our tinie (tempah) little cabin.  The town Saloon! The small "kitchen" area of our cabin.  Very tiny, but cozy...the beds weren't exactly comfy though.  just reliving my childhood  Jadon eating lunch outside while the Tahoe guzzles gas, it was cloudy a lot, so whenever the sun did appear we took advantage of it. Biting off more than he can chew... this picture makes me laugh out loud :-) Amazing Moab Rocks We took a little rock climbing venture the day before the race my climbing partner heading back down there's our town car Tahoe at the bottom the descent No, I'm not a member Coffee shop time, I "pre-race-d...

Absolute Trust & Complete Responsibility

Image
  Absolute trust and complete responsibility.  Those are the words that comes to mind when I think about my third birth.   After 5 years of praying for another baby, 1 miscarriage, 3 chemical pregnancies, stepping into foster care and raising other babies; we wondered when God would answer our prayer. He finally did.  Let’s go back… on September 24th, 2018, God showed me that we would have another child. We had been praying and trying for baby #3 for four months at this point.   Years of trying, praying and waiting came after.  In August of 2021 after a season of pleading with God, He told me that we would be expecting in the next month.  God was faithful and sure enough I saw a positive pregnancy test at the end of September.   This pregnancy started with absolute trust in the promises God had given me. The first promise came with this verse, “Now to Him who is able to do far more than all we ask or think according to the power at...

Haviland Trip To See The Twinsies

Image
I've been home from vacation for 4 days and I still can't seem to get into the swing of every day life. It hasn't helped that I upon arrival home I promptly got sick. All week I've been wanting to blog about the trip, but I've been too sick to even want to type. I think I'm on the tale end of the sickies though and I finally feel up to entering the blog world again. So since being on vacation to see Jadon's family was far more exciting than my current status I'll stop piddling around with boring info about post-trip-blahs. Jadon and I headed out to Haviland KS (where he grew up) at 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning. Ya, 2:00 a.m. is craziness, but so is trying to fit a 14 hour drive into 1 day. So if we're going for crazy, we'll just go all the way. I actually slept for the first 5 hours of the trip while Jadon tore through more miles than was probably legal. No cop-stops though, so all was well. We made it to Fort Collin by 7:15 a.m. where we stopped...
