Who Knew?!

So you've all read/heard about my back/hip pain. Chris bought me a pool for Mother's Day. Yesterday it finally got put to use!

Chris got up early and let me sleep in yesterday. Little did I know he was getting some stuff done! He blew up my pool, took the dogs to the beach then went and picked up the trailer so he could do some work on it. I only woke up when he came upstairs to get his laptop. He then left to take the boys with him to get a spare tire for the trailer in preperation for his trip this weekend. When I came downstairs I found my pool not only blown up in the back yard but filled! I was shocked! But it was a good thing because it was really freaking hot here yesterday!

By 1230 I was ready to get in the pool! Laying in the pool was about the best thing I could do. Chris joined me after a little bit - and there are definite benifits to having olive colored skin ;). Poor Chris is no longer part of what his Dad calls the "White Belly Brigade". He's now part of the "Pink & it's going to hurt" brigade ;).

We also went to the family pool here on the base with Ronnie, Jess & kids. That made the difference between laying in the pool and being able to stand in water up to my neck. It totally made my back and hips feel SOOOO MUCH BETTER! And it wore me out! I slept last night - actually slept! I think that I may try to get up there every couple days and see if over all that helps with the amount of pain I've been having. Either way - yesterday was a great day! And not to mention that the kids had a great time at the pool! Trace loved going between the "kiddie pool" and the "big" pool. Colten (who didn't care for the beach so much) even seemed to love the pool!
