Hello everyone,
I flew out of Calgary yesterday (Sunday the 1st) and had an awesome experience in the Calgary airport. I was just sitting there waiting at my gate and I looked up and saw this guy that looked really familiar. I looked a little harder and realized that it was Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames and that he was talking to his teammate and goal tender Mikha Kiprusoff!! I sat up in my chair and said Hey! and looked around to see if anyone else noticed but nobody moved, no on even flinched! I was in so much shock that I didn't even get up to ask them for an autograph or anything. Then following them not to long after was the rest of the Calgary Flames team all going to get on a plane!! It was really exciting. But, now I am kicking myself because I had my camera right there in my coat pocket and I didn't even stop them for a picture or anything!! Oh well, next time right?! (yeah right)

I arrived in Boise and went to my cousin Jared's house where they were watching the superbowl and visiting. Before the game was done my sister Joni and I went to the hospital so I could see my mom. We were met by Jeff and he showed us into moms room where she immediately said, "The girls are here!" I showed her the wedding pictures of mine that I had brought for her and she said to me, "you love that skinny guy?" I laughed and assured her I did. :)
We spent quite a few hours with her and had a pleasant visit. She made us laugh and it was good to see her. We had a good talk with the nurses to get caught up and made aware of how she had been doing and that calmed a lot of the reservations that I had.

I stayed at Jim and Leslie's house (my brother and sister in law) and we stayed up for a while watching Tralee and laughing at her a little bit. It was fun. Leslie made us breakfast this morning and Joni and I got ready and went to visit our Aunt Michelle before going to the hospital to see Mom.

Mom was awake when we got there and Aunt Nona was sitting with her. She gabbed at us a lot and made us laugh. She took a little nap and then was ready to walk a bit and find a way out of the hospital. We distracted her from that. She made a joke today and laughed at herself like she was really funny... it was SOO good to see her smile. It made my whole day.

Now, Jeff (my stepdad) Jim, Leslie, Joni, Tralee, and I are going to have dinner and enjoy a night in.

Until next time.
