Nic's ankle

Well, we finally got some word on Nic's ankle. For those of you who don't know, he was playing Wallyball on base with the guys and thought he rolled it. He rolls his ankle all the time, so he thought it was no big deal. I went and got him and noticed it didn't look right. But he was insistent on going home and doing what he always does with it (ice and motrin). So we did, next morning he was in excruciating pain and couldn't put any weight on it. So off to the doctor he went. Came out with crutches and pain meds. He went back a week later and they said it wasn't healing right so they sent him for an MRI. The results came back yesterday and he seems to have tore at least one ligament. So he goes to see an Orthopedic surgeon on tuesday. It should be interesting, I'm just thankful that he did this while on shore duty. Now just praying that the doctors can fix it so that this stuff doesn't keep on occuring.

Another year already!!

Wow, how time flies. I can't believe it is 2009 already! How exciting and at the same time a bit scary. This year could bring about big changes for the Fort family. Nic is due to rotate in September, so we are not sure where that is going to put us. We are still waiting on orders. I'm just so thankful that I have my husband around for the start of this year, so different than last year! The kids are getting to be so big so fast! I can't believe I don't have a baby anymore!! Preston is getting to be such a big boy and the girls are growing bigger everyday it seems. Lilly is such a little grown up. (Good and bad!) Kassy is our 'little mommy' and tries to help out whenever and wherever she can.

My goals for this year are pretty much the same as previous years. Making sure to be in God's word everyday, exercising and eating right and being as good of a wife/mommy as I can possibly be. All of these things are struggles at sometime or another for me. So focus is key.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe new year!!! I'm also going to try to update this more often than I have been. (We'll see how that turns out!)
