After our 2 day trip to Denver, Kynlie and I had one day home, then on Friday, went to Dickinson with my parents and brother for a luncheon. Jordan got nominated for Outstanding Graduate at Dickinson State University. He wasn't one of the winners, but it was quite an honor for him to be nominated. After the luncheon, Neil came and picked Kynlie and I up and we went to Bismarck to do the March for Babies on Saturday.
We walked with MedCenter One's team, which consisted of a lot of Kynlie's nurses, her doctor, physical and occupational therapists and some fellow NICU graduates. The picture above is with Joe. He was born a week after Kynlie, one of a set of triplets, they were neighbors in the NICU.
Joe's mom Jen and I spent a lot of time together the 4 months Kynlie and Joe were in the NICU together. She is an amazing person who I can relate to very well as she lost one of her babies too. I was blessed to create some amazing relationships with some people while we were in Bismarck, relationships that, even though we may not talk or see eachother often, will always be very dear to my heart. I am so glad that we decided to go to Bismarck to do the walk, even though it seemed silly to drive to Bismarck for an hour walk when Dickinsons was the same day. Thank you to everyone that donated to our cause, we exceeded our goal by $45!
After the walk was over, we drove back to Dickinson and went to a barbecue for Jordan and 2 of his old roomates from college for graduation. After the barbecue, we came home and went out for supper for a celebration for a dear friend that got a new job.
Sunday we finally got our yard mowed, which looked more like a hay field than a yard! It was a beautiful weekend and was so nice that Kynlie could finally be outside because the wind wasn't blowing. We had another barbecue at a friend's house last night.
I'm so excited because we have a full week with nothing we have to do! No where to go, no appointments, nothing. Just Kynlie and I hanging out, enjoying the beautiful weather.
