My dad made it through the surgery...they ended up doing a triple bipass. They kept him sedated last night and woke him up and took the breathing tube out this morning. I went to see him this afternoon and they had just gotten him out of bed and sitting in a chair. He was still quite groggy and in some pain, but otherwise it's pretty good news. Hopefully everyday he'll just get stronger and be in less pain. It's very hard to watch someone who you know to be so strong to be in so much pain. It's going to get a bit worse before it gets better too I would imagine. But the scary part is over!

My father is having bi-pass surgery tomorrow afternoon so I would really appreciate any and all prayers or positive thoughts. He went in on Tuesday for what we thought was going to be angioplasty and possibly some stints...but that turned into surgery since there was too much blockage and it was not in a good place for a stint. Sooooo...surgery tomorrow. I know it's a common procedure, but I'm still scared. It's going to be a long day and I just need it to turn out okay because I'm definitely not ready for it not to be. Hopefully I'll have good news to report next time...

I'm leaving for Washington DC at 0700 tomorrow morning for National Police Week. It's already 5:45pm and I haven't packed a thing yet! I will be back on Sunday and will hopefully have some more great photos. Plus, the President is scheduled to speak at the ceremony on Friday...so that should be very cool. Hope all is well with everyone out in blogland and I'll check in when I return!258 days ago
Is 32 too old to like Kelly Clarkson? I hope not because I just got tickets to see her in concert in September. Yes, I realize that is five months away...but they just went on sale. She's actually coming to Vermont so I figured I should take advantage of the opportunity. I'm psyched because my friend Casey is coming with me. Casey is one of my closest friends. We went to high school together and were even cheerleaders together (yes I was a cheerleader, mock me if you wish, just remember that I carry a gun AND a taser!). At one time, after college, she lived in Japan, but now she lives about 25 minutes from me! She has two of the cutest kids you've ever seen in the whole entire world. Okay, so maybe I'm a bit biased because her 2 year old (Alex) is my little buddy. He is so amazing the things that come out of his mouth. He's a freakin' genius I tell ya! And her newest little one (Eden) was born on December 30th so she's a little snuggle bunny. Yes, she makes my uterus ...

I just realized that I never posted some of the pics from my NYC trip I took back in December, so I've done that now. Some of them are kind of fuzzy, but I think with all the lights the effect looks kind of cool (plus for some of them, the blurriness is only because I was a bit tipsy. Hey, I was on vacation!). For some reason I can't figure out how to add a description to each photo. They are all pretty self explanatory though...except for maybe the one of the large curtain. That's to show how close we were to the stage when we saw the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. It was SO awesome! If you have never seen it, I highly recommend it. The Rockettes are amazing! I absolutely LOVED it! And the one of me in my jammies is from Christmas morning...and yes, we had mimosas. My brother got me Sex and the City: The Movie and I was psyched! Other than that nothing too exciting to talk about. We finally got our new cruiser in the other day so I have a shiny new car ...
