Well today was a pretty good day. It was quite busy from start to finish. I had class at 9:30 to 1:30ish. From there, I walked to the UK hospital to see my friend Jacob. I had to wait for an hour in the waiting room because he was with the nurses getting his bandages changed and having physical therapy. It was so great to see him. I was a little nervous to go see him, but when I did, it was worth it. He didn't know I was coming today and he couldn't help but do a double take and smile when he saw me. He was sitting in this big chair next to his bed, changing his shirt and I was in the hallway, putting on a gown and gloves (they are very serious about this because they want him to heal perfectly and I didn't mind at all) and laughing and making faces at him through the window. He looked sooooooooooooo good. Thank you God!
When I walked through the door the nurse told me that I had just missed a big moment, I looked around not knowing what she was going to say. But then she told me that he had been up and walking around. God has been working his magic on Jake. Just a few weeks ago, he was sitting in the hospital bed, asleep and not lucid at all and now he's walking around and looking like the boy I know. Jake has gotten pretty skinny but knowing him as soon as he can hell go back to the gym and put it all back on. He was actually excited and tried to show me his new 6 pack. That is sooo Jake, you have no idea. He then had to point out that he has a few chest hairs. hahaha seeing him was the definite highlight of my month. He's my oldest friend (8th grade best friends, holla!) and seeing him just put a huge smile on my face.
I brought him 3 of his favorite candy bars and he got so excited. Then I asked him if he could still Jake Shake it. This is an inside joke between us but its when we would see each other and we would shake our shoulders back and forth and dance towards each other. He smiled big and did a little shoulder shake and said "the fire couldn't get my jake shake!" I couldn't help but smile and try to hold back the tears. I only got to stay with him for like 20 minutes because I had to work but I think I'm going to go back tomorrow and see him again but for longer. Then after that, I'm going to go home for the weekend.
I'm going to become a bear this weekend and sleep the weekend away. That's how tired I am.
Oh and I just want to point out that my sweet, amazing, wonderful, beautiful, funny cousin/godmother, Michelle is pregnant, AGAIN! She and her wonderful/crazy funny husband, John, have the COOLEST kids ever, Reilly and Jaden. They may be kids but they might as well by my age. They are quite possibly the best family ever. I've been trying to convince them to have another and now look at em! Baby #3! Soooo excited. Congrats Michelle and fam! I'll definitely have to come visit now! ;)
Next weekend, is Halloween. Dayton here we come. Then the next weekend, I'm going with my parents to see my wonderful big sister Shan and her 'friend' Andy. hahaha I think they like each other but I don't know. ;)
Well I must get going. I'll write you guys soon. Have a good day and until next time...
love love love,
Morgan
