Micah is Home

After two years apart I finally had my family together again. What a great feeling that is. It was as great as I had imaged it would be. 

SIX MONTHS!!!!

Wow it has been six months today since my car accident. It has really gone by fast looking back, but if I think  about everything that happened. All the long sleepless nights, trying to eat with my mouth wired shut and breathing through that trech. etc. it took a long time to get here today. But today I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have been so blessed to have survived and all the MIRACLES that took place that day. I have no doubt I had a few guardian angels looking after me. I am so grateful to all the people who prayed for me and who came and saw me. I am so grateful for my family, I love them all so much. My wife Karrie has been so strong and I just fed off of her strength and energy when I had very little. She has really been amazing and I would not wish this experience that she had to go through on anyone. My kids have been awesome. My first thoughts when I woke up in my car were of my family and I knew I had to keep fighting for them. They really stepped up each one in there own way. My son Micah just stepped in for me. Talk about growing up fast. I will blog more about my family later. I love you guys. I am so grateful for my parents who were and are there/here for me. My awesome siblings who I love so much. My Bro. in-law Robert who was one of the first people to the hospital and who also became one of my regular sitters after I was released and was home but could not be left alone. My nieces and nephews. I love you all. There is no way to thank everyone this blog would need pages and pages. I will have to blog more about that later. But just a few more or I would feel bad. The doctors and nurses at Mckay-Dee hospital who took such good care of me for the two weeks I was there. Especially the nurses they have such a hard job. I could really tell which ones really cared about me. They really do all the heavy lifting. There were so many good ones, but I wanted to thank Jesee one of my favorite nurses for all she did. Jesee and Karrie took me on a couple of strolls outside around the pond and it felt so good to get out and get that fresh air. I felt so bad they both had to push me around in the wheelchair dragging my oxygen tank. So a great big thanks! Dr. Liston was amazing and his staff is great.  Also to all my sitters that came to my house and took care of me while Karrie worked. These great friends and family gave up there whole day to come sit with me and do stuff like change my i.v., feed me, make sure I kept breathing etc. So thank you Kristy, Anita, Heidi, Robert, my parents. My family at Costco I work with some of the best people on this planet. I love you guys/gals. Also I have to mention just a couple more. Darrin Staples thank you so much for the visits and the book and smoothie cards I really means a lot to me and really helped boost my spirits. And Dusty thank you for sneaking into ICU to check on me. Brad Lloyd thank you for taking the time to visit when you really did not have to. I will never forget waking up and seeing a big smile on your face. Ok this is probably going to have to be 2 post. To my ward for all the prayers and food. We had so much food it was crazy and I could not eat any of it. I am so Grateful today to so many people but especially to my Heavenly Father to still be here today. Wow this is long but could be so much longer. I AM SO BLESSED AND GRATEFUL TODAY!!!!!

Region 2 has begun

Friday night was the start of Region play for the Vikings. The Vikings have moved to Region 2 this year after a long history in Region 1. Because it is a new region we really don't know what to expect. All the so called experts picked Hunter to win the region and either Granger or West to be second. Viewmont was usually right in the middle. Well Viewmont started region play against Granger who was 4-1 going into the game. But they had not played any tough opponents mostly 4a and 3a school. Viewmont played really good and won the game 28-7, Granger did not score til the end of the game after the jv team was put in. Micah had a good game playing both ways (cornerback and receiver) He threw his first pass in a varsity game on a double pass play and he blocked a field goal.

Vikings vs Knights

Well this week Viewmont had Northridge and there was a lot of anticipation because we had heard that Northridge was probably the best team we would play. They were unbeaten and had beat the same team Viewmont had beaten but by bigger margins. Northridge scored first and it was not looking to good but the Vikings came right back and scored twice to take a 14-7 lead into the 3rd quarter. Then the Knights scored but missed there extra point so it was 14-13. Viewmont turned the ball over and it led to another Northridge T.D. they made a two point conversion and went up 21-13 with about 7 minutes left. Viewmont got the ball back but ended up punting when they could not get a first down. The Vikings defense played great and forced the Knights to punt. With a little under 4 minutes the Vikings got the ball and drove down the field and scored with a little over 2 minutes left. On a previous play the Viking kicker had gotten hurt so Viewmont went for the 2 point conversion and the win. They got the 2 point conversion and went up 22-21 and then the defense had to not let the Knights move into field goal position. They started on the twenty and the Vikings defense shut them down. Micah had a big hit on one of there receiver causing him to fumble the ball unfortunately the ball went out of bounds. But on the next play Viewmont picked off the ball. The Vikings then just ran the clock down to 25 seconds before they had to punt. The Knight tried to hail Mary passes and they both got knocked down and the Vikings won 22-21.
