Beaumont Ranch

Saturday night we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast at Beaumont Ranch. It's about an hour away and is 900 acres. We did an ATV tour around the ranch, which was amazing! We had so much fun! The guide told Jordan that he had to stand up on the ATV most of the time so it wouldn't tip over since he is so big, haha! He didn't tip over by the way. After the ATV tour, we had a rib dinner in the barn, and then a cowboy breakfast was included the next morning too. We had a wonderful time and wish we could go back to do the ATV ride again. They also have horseback riding and zip lines there as well so we just may have to go back to do them all.

Prayer Request

Jordan and I got forwarded an e-mail today requesting prayers for the next 5 days for Doug, one of Jordan's friends who is deployed to Afghanistan. Doug sent this request to his fiancee who forwarded it, which eventually got to us. He said that we needed to pray hard for him right now over the next 5 days, harder than you have all deployment because the next 5 days are going to be insane. So pray people!!!

We made the switch!

We finally made the switch to a Mac! We've been needing a new computer, and we decided to try a Mac since everyone that has one seems to love it. I've only had a few days to play around with it, but so far it is really easy to get adjusted to. I love the picture program that comes with it-so far that's my favorite.

Poor Little Maj!

This last week Major gashed his leg! We can't figure out how he did it, but he just came walking in with a very large and very deep gash. He acted like he didn't even know it was there, but it was a pretty disgusting gash. You could see the white tissue stuff that surrounds the bone and muscle, it was so gross! We immediately took him to the vet where he got 6 staples. He was so tough. They didn't numb or anything, they just stapled him right then and there. I waited a few days to take a picture of it because it was kinda gross before. It seems to be healing alright and I have to take him on Thursday to get the staples out, which hopefully won't hurt him too bad.

This and That

I haven't really blogged in a while so I thought I'd just write a few things that have been going on (not much for the most part though-hence, my lack of blogging!) I just love this dog. He makes Jordan and I so happy! Here he is doing two of his favorite things-holding a toy and looking out the window.

So cute. I love his wrinkles on his forehead. Jason calls him "Crinkle face"

About a month ago two of Jordan's friends from West Point came and stayed with us. They are really funny together as you can see from this picture! They were here the weekend of the Superbowl and that Saturday was "Snuggie Bar Hop in Uptown." So there were people in snuggies everywhere in Uptown! It was quite a site to see!

Jordan's knee is doing good two weeks out of surgery. It still swells quite a bit, but it is only 2 weeks out so I think everything is going well on that front.

My mom is finally healing from her Staph infection. She got a MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staph aureas) Staph infection a few weeks ago and it was really scary. You've probably heard of MRSA being a big problem after surgeries and in the military. It is an infection that is resistant to many antibiotics so it can be extremely dangerous. She didn't end up in the hospital (although I think her doctor almost admitted her a few times), but she was really sick for over a week. Her doctor gave her really strong antibiotics and now she is beginning another 30-day round of antibiotics just to make sure it gets all taken care of. So we are really happy she is healing and doing well!
