Always Eventful

So I have been in Oregon less then a week and it already has been very eventful. The first event happened while flying here. My back decided it was going to start spasming and didn't stop until Saturday evening. Even muscle relaxers didn't help, although it knocked me out for about 2 hours. Saturday afternoon I went to Johnny's 7th birthday party at the bowling alley, however because of my back I didn't get to bowl and left early. That night we went to Junction City for the cruise they were having. I got to ride with my uncle Bruce in his '52 Dodge Army vehicle. It looks like the vehicles you see in movies transporting soldiers without the soft cover top. I rode in that all night and had a blast. We had people saluting Bruce and lots of thank yous and cheers. My cousin drove their 55 BelAir so we passed him a few times and every kid in the truck with us would yell his name. Sunday was relatively peaceful and uneventful. I went to church with my uncle and cousin, had lunch and spent the afternoon with Mama making cards for Troy (my brother-in-law in Iraq) and then visited with a family I haven't seen for many years. We won't go into detail for how long because that would really age me. Yesterday was different story as far as events go. Genna and I were shopping and had just walked out to the car. My aunt called and said that my uncle was in the hospital getting ready to go into surgery for a work related injury. Genna and I hightailed it to the ER and we were able to see him about an hour after we got there. He is doing fine and went home last night. Thank God!! I love how He watches over my family! After leaving the hospital Genna dropped me off at Mom's work and we went to Johnny's baseball game. Him and Travis have grown so much. Mama and I returned home and I put a puzzle together until about 12:30. It's still not finished but hopefully today. I hope everybody is enjoying their summer!
