Updates pics :)

Thought I would include some updated pics of life in Omaha since alot of my friends and family don't know what its like around here. And the weather here lately has SUCKED to say the least. This past week we have had a "snow/ice" storm, been down to 0 degrees out with a wind chill factor of -15 so it hasn't been fun walking to class or getting Creighton (with all the hills around there).

 this our our fav quote around here.....

All in all, things are going well here especially since today I got measured on my knee flexion (bending the knee) and I was at 120 degrees compared to the 94 degrees I was at about 1.5 weeks ago! I am sooooo excited about that, I know it's a pretty small accomplishment but its huge to me. I am so ready for the next few months. We have things all planned out that way each month we have something else to look foward to...so for now we wait for Heidi's birthday weekend!!! :)

Winter, oh Winter....

Well, the winter has FINALLY hit in Omaha and I am NOT liking it. We have been in a severe winter weather storm watch for a few days now and driving and walking to class hasn't been easy. Plus the fact that I have to drive to Creighton every day and that is NOT an easy task in this weather because CU is on a hill and you have to go down and up about 3 to get to and from there. NOT FUN!!! Other than the crappy weather, things here have been going fairly well. My knee is recovering quite nicely actually. I'm at about 110 degrees flexion compared to the 65 degrees I had two weeks ago. I am pretty excited about that, I have also started riding the bike which is a pretty big accomplishment for someone that is recovering from a big knee surgery. So the knee is good, school is GREAT so far this quarter. I am at Creighton working with volleyball and also men's & women's tennis. I LOVE it there!! Everyone is soooo great and the atmosphere is amazing. We've got some big plans this semester. Heidi's 23rd birthday is in Feb, so we are going out on the town for a night and then a big breakfast the next day. Then in March we are going to Kansas City for a few days for spring break which will entail us going to the casino all dressed up one night. Then we're going to go to the college basketball experience which is suppose to be COMPLETELY amazing!! Then in April I turn 25 :) and then we are done in May and then just 3 weeks of summer classes and then HOME!!! here are some pics of this esmester so far :)
