Nerves

So micah was supposed to be getting on a plane leaving iraq today/yesterday, about 2 am iraqi time or about 6 pm wednesday central time! my mind is all over the place from trying to clean and make things nice, to nerves and jitters of seeing micah again, to utter excitement. I seem not to be able to focus on much. I haven't heard from micah yet as to when he's to arrive in omaha but i'm guessing he's either flying at the moment or waiting very impatiently in some airport at who-knows-where location. it took almost two days when micah flew to iraq, with all his long layovers and the army in it's slow ways. so i'm expecting to pick him up tomorrow. in the meantime, i'm trying to fill my time with not thinking about it. i've read two books, made sawyer some shoes and am going to try to make a little jacket to go with sawyer's easter dress i made her. i would love to go for a walk but i'm still trying to rest my ankle so it doesn't hurt too much.

ankle surprise

So happy st patty's day ya'll! though i'm a little late and my day wasn't the best. sawyer had a good time tho! We've been getting pretty excited for micah coming home and also i was going to be running in a race in a near by town. but yesterday while running to get ready for the race i stepped off a curb funny, rolled my ankle, spraining it. good thing i had my phone and was rescued by dale and lori taylor. today i'm able to put some pressure on it and can walk and little bit but i've been icing and trying to keep rested, just kind of hard with sawyer wanting to go go go. I'm just very thankful for having some great friends and glad i know doctors that just happened to be coming to the taylors right when my foot was hurt... coincidence? i think not... lol

today was a challenge though. i had two appointments for my car, an oil change and my brake switch was out and had to be replaced (monday i was in omaha helping out a lady from church and was told my brake lights weren't working) so i had to have people help me get my car around and drive there car because i drive a manual and my hurt ankle is the clutch foot :( so very hard driving a stick with a bum leg but everything got done and fixed and now i'm tired ha. Micah is on a mission and then will be sent somewhere to wait to come home! so next week he will be in the states! yay! hopefully my ankle is good enough for traveling when he's here so i'm not too much of a party pooper!

i'm all over the place but the past two days have been super nice and yesterday i was able to go outside an play with casey and little bit (unfortunately i couldn't today though it was nicer) tomorrow might snow again but it will get nice again so we're hoping the snow doesn't really do anything.

I hope someone can understand this but i feel like i'm just babbling now hahaha oh well... love you guys

Weight

Sawyer had a weight check yesterday and she had a much better month than the last 3, gaining about 2.5 times as much and she also got taller... so she is now 12lbs 3oz and 25.5 inches. very good news.
sad news tho is micah's leave date was changed so instead of being home right now he will be home at the end of the month... but i guess it's good because we may get to see his parents so that will be good. so i guess i don't have as much to say as i thought but i love you all and i ak prayers that micah still gets his leave and it doens't get changed and that things in his unit smooth over.

here's a little video of sawyer being all happy after her lunch... she loves eating and she kept doing this thought it was cute!
