Birthday bliss.

This is a picture of the birthday guy with his gift from Big Cedar. I think we should come here every year for his birthday, but I’m not sure I can convince him of that.

We’ve been really blessed to have power through all this ice. Many neighboring areas are out of power. I really don’t know what we’d do if we lost power, here. It’s not like we could move all our stuff because our car is iced to the parking lot. I guess they could cart us off somewhere, but we’d have to leave our stuff. It would be an experience that wouldn’t be fun; we’d probably learn more things we never wanted to know! So, I thank God that we’ve been blessed, again, with power.

The shuttle took us over to Big Cedar’s fitness room today. It’s so gorgeous to watch out the windows as we work out. We are so richly blessed to have this opportunity and to have it go so well for us. That was plenty of getting out for us. I should have brought boots (I don’t even have boots!) so I could go out hiking in this. But, it’s really too cold to hike. Dana, you might be tough enough to go out and get pictures in this, but I’m not. I have a few pictures and I’ll get them on the blog here and there.

I thank God that I can even work out! I was scheduled for surgery a year ago today, but they postponed it because of a fluke in my ultrasound. When they realized the ultrasound was okay they proceeded with the surgery on the 30th and all was well, but it was frustrating. Let’s put it this way: we weren’t relaxing at a wonderful resort. We were blessed to have a wonderful apartment where we could spend that time. One time Don said, "This is almost like being in a condo." I had to smile. It did have it’s similarities, but it was way more rugged than this time in this condo! God love him!
