Changes...

I updated the site and added a new picture. Hope you like it!

Jess and I traveled south to Zion National Park over Easter weekend. We were there from Friday - Wednesday. We took the fifth wheel and camped at a great campground. Jess made a lot of friends, one from Salt Lake that she will be friends with for a long time. Our neighbors were there a few days. We drove through the Park one day and Jess hiked with her friend another. Great time together and a beautiful spring trip. A few days in the 70's and 80's, then it snowed the day we left and all the way home for 5 hours.

Jess and I went to St George for a dance competition the last weekend in March. Doreen and Kellie decided to drive up at the last minute. I took this great picture of Jess and Doreen while on a hike. It was great to see them.

Thursday

On Thursday i went to get my nails done with my dads admen (Kendra). We had so much fun and after that we went to UFood grill it was really nice.

Visiting Kellie and Doreen in LA last weekend

Had a great time visiting Kellie and Doreen last Friday thru Monday in LA. Friday we went downtown Hollywood and to a mall. We returned to their cozy apt to cook steaks for dinner. It was very nice to meet their roommates Ann and DJ. I think having roommates that are there for the same reason makes it easier for Doreen and Kelly to cope with all of the change and new adventures. The apt manager was very protective of the girls. He was a very nice man. The apt windows were open most of the time because of the nice weather. Their apt is right on a street and the noise takes some getting used to, especially when sleeping. We were so tired at bedtime that the noise didn't bother us so I thought. When we returned back home to Utah Jess' first comment when she went to bed was that the car noise was unbearable for her and it was so nice to be home. We had a good visit. Sat and Sun Kelly had auditions. After the auditions we went to the Santa Monica beach both days. Sat we saw the sunset and ate dinner at the pier. Good margaritas! Sunday we spent the afternoon on the beach with DJ and Ann and returned to the apt to celebrate Jessica's 11th birthday. Had a great time. Monday we all went to lunch together before going to the airport. Jess cried for an hour after they dropped us off.

Melanoma update

Doin g very well over the past two weeks. The nurse at work gave me antibiotics before I went back to my doctor. Cleared up the infection over a few days. Good thing. It hurt like hell and I couldn't move my entire left side of my upper body. When I visited my Dr two days after the antibiotics of course I got a lecture. They kept me on the antibiotics until this past Monday. All is well. Jess is still dressing my wound every day and will continue for another few weeks. Funny thing. Visited Doreen and Kellie in LA this past weekend. Jess said she would show Doreen how to dress the wound and she could do it while we were there. Well, Jess did it every day there too. This is a view of the remaining opening on my back.
