physical Therapy

Many of my friends know that I am the queen of klutziness. Last year I dislocated my knee simply moving something out of my way. I spent three weeks in a straight leg brace and eight weeks doing physical therapy to strengthen the knee. During the summer and fall I did really well.
 As winter came so did the pain and swelling. I tried everything from braces, biofreeze, ice, heat, patches and finally waved a white flag. I went in to my doctor and he ordered a month of physical therapy in hopes that we can get it under control.

Mostly because I don't really need a repeat of this....

Love my Job

How many of us get to say we get paid to play? I love playing with the kiddos at the school.

I love getting loves on a daily basis from all my kiddos at work. The best thing is I may have fifty plus kids but at the end of the day I get me time.

 

Happy Birthday Momzilla love you!

Welcome to 2015

This years new years eve kind of snuck up on me. I hadn't made any big plans and found myself having a quiet evening at my parents celebrating Kman's birthday. One of my best friends graciously dropped her plans to come have a quiet evening with Heidi, Davy, Becca and I. As the rest retreated to different ends of the house.
 It was mostly movie watching and talking. Shalyna and I didn't even finish our conversation more then ten seconds to say ''happy New Year's.'' I was surprised how my view of the holidays had changed to just spending time with a few instead of a ton. No goals were set, no time was spent pondering on the what ifs. Here's to a great year!

Christmas

Christmas is usually full of snarky remarks and loads of sarcasm at my parents house. Although with everyone growing up the Beverley household was rather quiet Christmas morn. We did our usual Christmas eve party with dad's family and because of the bowling alley closing yet another hour earlier this year half of our rambunctious family didn't get to play.
  we opened gifts with Davy and Becca Christmas eve because they went to her momma's house for Christmas. I enjoyed watching them open gifts and be together as a family as I watched them create new lasting traditions. Christmas morning consisted of mom, dad, Kman, Heidi and I. We ate our traditional hot breakfast and opened gifts.
As the ham cooked we enjoyed movies and the simple pleasure of each others company. It seemed weird how our Christmases had changed over the years. Simple was best and family time was simple and lovely. Love my crazy family!

Forgotten Carols

Heidi and I have a beautiful tradition of going to see the Forgotten Carols every holiday season. We decided this year to make it a girls night out. We bought 7 tickets and called Mama Val, Mom, Becca, April, and Lacey to keep the evening of the 20th clear. Heidi and I found some beautiful ornaments at days and made everyone a tiny stocking. We went to eat at Pizza Pie Café (which by the way has a gf option)
 We had wonderful seats and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Michael has a way of making you laugh, cry, and be grateful all in one night. The story allows us to see the true meaning of the season through a beautiful play with music composed by the very talented Michael McLean.

Happy Birthday Hoho

Happy Birthday sister! It was amazing to see how loved you are by the community and kiddos at the school. I hope this year brings lots of good memories and adventures.

love ya girl!
