No fun for Ryan

Ryan had a basketball tournament for work. It's called the Big's N Blue. Police play against attorneys, firemen, paramedics, etc. During Ryan's first game, a guy charged him. He fell on top of Ryan. That would usually be okay during basketball unless you are really skinny like Ryan and obviously fragile like Ryan. The guy's elbow landed right on Ryan's ribs. Ryan just thought he had a bruise or something and continued playing. He played the rest of the 1st game, was a little sore during his 2nd game and couldn't even do anything during his 3rd game (which was against his brother-in-law, Andy). His mom wrapped him up tight and they got ice for him. After the tournament was over he went to a QuickCare on the way home. Sure enough, he broke his rib. He was so sore that evening and the following 3 days. It hurt to breath, move, or practically do anything. I felt so bad for him. Ryan doesn't complain much, so when he does, you know he is in a lot of pain.

Welcome HOME!!!

We are finally in our new home. Actually we have been for about 3 weeks now. There were a few things that tested our patience on the way, but for the most part everything went smoothly. We are settled and loving the neighborhood. There are hundreds of kids everywhere you look. I can't imagine what it's going to be like in the summer. I'm not completely done decorating but I am having a blast doing it. I am still getting used to the drive. It is pretty much far from everywhere, but the home and neighborhood make up for the commute. It is on a dead end street with little traffic. It is almost 3200 sq. ft. It has a split bedroom floorplan which I love. There is a great room, master, mudroom, 1/2 bath, office, and laundry room downstairs. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a game room. The yard is spacious and the foothills are right outside our door. So we will never have backyard neighbors. It is so quiet. If you can't tell, we love our new home.
