This week has been  tremendously busy week here. My son graduated from high school last Saturday so the entire weekend was filled with family and festivities.  I had my echocardiogram and Pulmonary Function Testing on Thursday, both of which appeared to be normal. It's SO WEIRD to see your heart pumping inside your body but also very cool to see the valves and mechanism.  It made me think that if I had gone to medical school, I would have been a cardiologist (instead of doing sports medicine or orthopedics which is what I wanted to do). Friday, my daughter and I went to see Ty Myers!  So much fun. 

It's starting to feel like summer here!  I alwasy loved summer when I was in school because t hat meant I could read for FUN all summer long and boy did I ever.  I got the bulk of my for fun reading done during summer time. The World Cup is also on 24/7 in this household.
