Long time, No post!!

Sooo...I know it's been awhile since my last post and I'm sorry! I would say a lot has happened but not a lot of eventful things have really happened this year except for my accident in February. But I finished my first semester back at school since my accident and so thankful the Lord got me through it. I thankfully passed with a 3.0! :)

I turned 21 this December! It was a time spent with my wonderful boyfriend over dinner and then hanging out with friends! I love it when the Lord reminds me how blessed I am to have such great and Godly people in my life that bring so much joy to me!

I also enjoyed some great family time during Christmas! My parents took me out for a late birthday dinner in downtown Franklin and went to one of our favorite stores after: T.J. Maxx! Then I woke up to a "White Christmas" Christmas morning and loved every minute of it!

Last night I rung in the new year with some great friends just goofing off playing Just Dance and the game Things. We had too much fun and just enjoyed each others company. It makes you really appreciate all the special people in your life.

One thing I can say about 2010 is that it went by too fast. I felt like I wasn't prepared for anything that came my way, and before I knew it Thanksgiving was over, the semester was over, Christmas was over, and 2010 was gone and now I have to get used to remembering to write 2011 instead of 2010! It's been a crazy, busy, fun year and I can't wait to see what the Lord already has planned for me this year!! Great things are yet to come! I hope that the Lord blesses you all and teaches you something new in 2011! :)

I'm officially in business!

So I know that I've been slacking alot lately with my blogging, but it's summer and I've been a little lazy! So far, I'm off my crutches and out of the boot..Yes you heard me right! I'm chain free now! I got my car and I'm driving again!..Alot of new things!! It's also been 4 months since my accident and I've progressed alot since the accident. It'll be exciting to see where I'll be in a year after my accident. God still has His hand on me! I have about 3 more weeks of Physical Therapy and then I'm really on my own!!

Now for even greater news..I've started my own Hair Accessory business and created my own website! It's all my hard work put together during the 3 months I was recovering at my parents house. I'm very proud of the way everything turned out and hope that you enjoy browsing around and maybe even find something you like!

Well I'm off to go to my Physical Therapy appointment!

Almost There...

So I had another physical therapy appointment yesterday and I've been going for 2 weeks now and as of yesterday I am WALKING..with the help of only one crutch now! I'm super excited! I'm still wearing my boot but It's such a huge leap! It's been crazy to see how far I've come in just two weeks and also that it's almost been 4 months!

We leave EARLY Monday morning for youth camp and I'm anxious to see how I handle getting around on the beach! It will surely be an interesting week..ha I'm so excited to go to beach with all the youth and see how the Lord moves in mine and everyone else's life. I'll post pics when I get back! Be praying for those who don't know the Lord and that this week they will draw near to Him!

I know I haven't posted in awhile but it's been crazy lately so I'll leave you with a video of my "first" steps in almost 4 months!! Enjoy! Love you guys! :)

Home Sweet Home

So I'm officially home..and it feels pretty good! It's crazy to know this journey's not over yet and that I'm starting a new chapter in my recovery. I went to church last night and got to see all my friends which was super nice knowing that I didn't have to leave them again! I have some of the greatest friends!

This morning I had an early doctors appointment but it was well worth it because I got a great report hearing that in 2 weeks I can put full weight on my foot and I'm super excited. I'll be starting physical therapy next week starting to build up my leg muscles again! They expect after a month I'll be walking again..crazy huh?

After a wonderful report at the doctor, I sent my momma off back to Nashville (without me,sad. I love her so much!!!) then got to hangout with some wonderful ladies: Chelsea Barton and Kirby Rhodes! :) I haven't hung out with them in soo long! Love them!

All together I had a wonderful day and am looking forward to starting my physical therapy and seeing how weird putting weight on my foot again is gonna be! Super excited!! Woo Hoo! Looking forward to it! :) Stay tuned for updates along the way during my recovery! This should be interesting!! :)
