Working Hard

We had an interesting morning with our showers today. Mark showered but it took him forever because the pressure was so low it was pretty much just dripping on him so it took him twice as long as it usually does. When I got ready to shower, I started it got in, and it started spitting and then all of a sudden it was brown! It was quite a shock as I was yelling and trying to jump out of the way. I had no idea what had happened or what it was which was scary. Mark thought it was pretty funny but me not so much. It just kept coming a nice brown color and it was coming from all the faucets. So I ended up taking a shower with wipes so we could get to PT. I guess they had a crack in the pipe or something and they had it fixed within the hour so the pressure is fine and most important the water is not brown :) We had another day of good physical therapy and we had Erika again today. It's funny at the end of therapy she had Mark standing up at the parallel bars, and he was like a giant next to her. Most the girls here are really little and I forget how tall Mark is. Even when we were in the pool Angie had him stand up and it was hard for him because she is smaller than I am and he felt like he was putting all his weight on her because she was so much smaller. Height doesn't matter though because they are good at what they do and she got him up and supported him and had him doing what he needed to. After PT we got dropped off at the mall so we could walk around and get some lunch. Robert and Julie came with us because they were really hungry to. Robert had been wanting Taco Bell really bad so he had to satisfy his craving :) So Robert got his Taco Bell, Julie ate Quiznos and Mark had Pizza hut. We all had such different cravings. I had a crepe with chicken, onions, mushrooms and cheese and Mark had one with strawberry's, banana's, chocolate, and caramel and yes it was as good as it sounds. Rob and Julie have some friends coming in tonight and they have been really excited. We are excited to meet them because we have heard so much about them it's like we know them. We will all go to the coast together on Saturday so we are really looking forward to that. Tomorrow we will have our last PT appt and injection for the week and then it should be an exciting and busy weekend and we're looking forward to it.












They crepes are so good!

Making crepes. It was really cool to watch them make them and it's just amazing how thin they are and they don't stick or burn. Mark decided he wants one of those stoves so he can make crepes all the time. We'll see how that goes :)

  1. Wow-Mark does look tall! So we just watched you on Channel 12 News! It was a really good story! You both looked really good and they even showed some video and pictures from off the blog. They also showed some good pictures from your wedding. It was really cool. We recorded it for you :). Have a great rest of the week!

  2. So when I first read your blog last night, the story about the brown shower wasn't on. Yuck! Actually, on the mission we usually had a cloth tied around the pipe cause you never knew what was going to come out! Those crepes are so cool. Yeah, you should totally get one of those stoves. You could probably make tortillas on them too, so it would be a good investment :)!

  3. We love reading your updates. Thanks for taking the time and all your efforts. The crepes look yummy. We had some really great ones when we were in France too--right on the street corner. You both are looking fantastic--glad you had wipes. They come in handy for LOTS of things. Hugs! Mom

  4. Brown water? Heck NO!!! I just canceled my plane ticket! But then the crepes entice me every time I look at your blog, so I guess I will still come as long as we get good food! :-) Can't wait!
