One Week from Tomorrow!

Hi everyone,

I hope this finds you well. I am starting to get a little excited, nervous and freaked out a little bit, ha. I think this is all normal. It is a good thing that I have a ton of stuff to keep me occupied before the actual day. I will be going to Canada tomorrow until Sunday night, then I have my last three days of teaching summer school along with working on my last graduate class. So, I think next Thursday will be here before I know it.

My dear childhood friend Jessica will be driving me to Mayo on Wednesday (thanks so much!), then I will meet my parents at the hotel. After the surgery, I plan to go home to Sheboygan, Wisconsin with my parents to recover for the week. If any of you are in town, feel free to stop by. I don't think the recovery will be that bad. It will definitely be better than everything I went through for months after my jaw surgery.

I greatly appreciate all of the support, thoughts and prayers; especially my loving family who mean the world to me. I posted their photos above, you know how much I love photos!
