Dad's Surgery

Yesterday my dad had a surprising quadruple bypass surgery on his heart as a result of a heart attack he had on Tuesday afternoon. He had admitted himself that afternoon with chest pain to the ER and was immediately taken in for tests which we negative for a heart attack but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. That next morning he was sent to a Good Sam for an angiogram which found blockage and the evidence of a heart attack. The doctors decided surgery would be the best option so they scheduled him for Friday morning.
It was very unexpected and rough on all of us but we had great support and prayers from all of our family and friends and we able to get through it really well. Dad is doing greater than the doctors and nurses had expected and will be moved to his own room later this evening. He has been sitting up and talking since yesterday early evening which is wonderful. He is such and strong person so we knew he would do really well and we were obviously right. Thank you again to everyone who has visited, sent flowers, said prayers and most of all believed in him. We could not have done it without you all. Thanks again. We love you DAD!!!

California and Blofsky Wedding

For our major summer trip, we were able to drive down to California and visit a couple hot spots and attend Sarah and Eric's wedding in Chico on August 2nd. We went to Discovery Kingdom Amusement and Water Park, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Alcatraz and Chico of course. We had a great time and it was nice to visit somewhere I had never been before and take a lot of pictures. My PSP died two hours into the trip and would not recharge which made the car ride a bit long but between naps and many stops, we did alright.

End of Summer

Wow, summer has come and gone (for the most part). I have not been blogging since the start of the summer or even before but I have posted a few photos to reflect back on the fun we have had. We are getting ready to move to Kyle's parents house for a few months to save up money and buy a house which we have been working hard for since we got married last August. However, we figure by saving on rent and other things we will be able to have our house and start our family a bit sooner.
