She Is Ready!

I've been quite impressed with Jeannie lately.  A few weeks ago, we found out that she asked a YM from the stake whether he would be interested to go to the school prom with her.  I never thought my daughter would do such a thing and wondered if she might in fact like this kid.  What I found out is that this YM actually goes to a private school and there will never be a prom because of the small school size.  Yet, he wanted an experience of a prom and how it's like.  So, Jeannie asked if he would like to go with her.  That's how it started!

Another occasion.... I got an email from Jeannie's seminary teacher of the scriptures that she hasn't memorized.  I have no clue how she was behind since all the kids had the same amount of time to memorize and recite during the class time.  This is what she said, "You know MiguXX and I are always the last people to finish... I just don't want him to feel bad for being the last one all the time."  My heart was filled with joy as I heard of it.    

I am very proud of Jeannie and thankful for her example and thoughtfulness of others.  Sometimes we hurry in life and forget the people around us.  Other times we stepped on others in order to win the race.  I am glad that she chose to slow down and be with those who needs a helping hand.  Now I am convinced that she is capable of taking care of herself and others while in college.  I know she is ready!

Trip to the Orthopedic

I finally went to the orthopedic to check on the problems with my lower back and elbow.  Since the blood work showed an inflammation (tendonitis) but the x-ray looked fine; so the Dr. gave me a shot at the elbow to alleviate the pain.  But the x-ray on the lower back wasn't so promising.  The spine was a little curvy to the right and asymmetrical towards the bottom; the bone and muscle ratio was out of balance and that came the pain.  There is nothing he could do to help since it was inborn and he has never done this type of surgery.  So, I was referred to see the physical therapist.

I wasn't thrill with the news but at least I know what's going on and learn to adjust my posture and daily activities accordingly.... and I think saving my time and money to the chiropractor is a plus too!
