I put the "HOT" in Lake Powell!!
DR. WILLIS (aka Loni)
We took our annual friend trip to Lake Powell and I was so excited to work on my tan and my wake boarding skills. Clearly as you can see the wake board got the best of me! On the 2nd day being there I as out wake boarding... doing so good at it I might add! Jumping the wake and what not. Anyway I cut out of the wake on my front edge and leaned a little too far forward and slammed down face first.. As if that didn't hurt bad enough the wake board still attached to my feet(apparently I can turn into a pretzel!!) came flying up behind me and cut open my head. I just layed there in the water holding my head thinking ouch that really hurt. Kevin comes around with the boat and Jeremy jumps on out to get me. He looks at my head and says um ya we are going to the hospital. Not really what I wanted to hear. So we had to take the boat back a 20 min ride in all the waves, then drive another 20 min into bullfrog marina.. all dirt road I might add. The best part of it all was more of our friends were meeting us and it so happened they showed up the same time as we were trying to get a vehicle unloaded to drive me there. My good friend Loni pulls up throws all her stuff out of her car and rushes me on out of there. On the ride there I told everyone I really don't think I need stitches. Kevin had Loni pull over and says "now don't say anything but just look at it and see if she needs stitches". Loni and Whitney pull over to look at it and both don't say a word except "yep we are going". We took a picture of it but I'll spare you all from having to look at my gaping wound. We get to the clinic and they are like they are in the 1940's. No rush just having a good ole time. The doctor decided that he will put 5 that's right 5 staples in my head. Since I had 4 more days of being down there. Are ya kidding me!! I got all numbed up, got my tetanus shot, and then he stapled away... Not to bad. I asked if my friend Loni could come back and help me with my hair since he was going to put a lovely head wrap on (see above) Loni comes back and starts to braid my hair and chunks start to fall out. I was like I thought you weren't going to cut any. Oh no he didn't that is from the wake board!! Cut my hair right out! Anyway I couldn't get my head in the water the rest of the time. I spent a lot of time floating on a raft getting a tan and was sad I couldn't wake board or cliff jump. Thanks to all my good friends for taking care of me and doing my hair the rest of the time. Especially to DR. Willis (Loni) she was a great help. I love doing this trip every year with friends. This year the guys had new girlfriends so some new girls came down and now I have made more friends for life. I love making new friendships and enjoying all the ones that have stood by my through thick and thin, the good the bad and the ugly!!! Love you guys

We had no hiccups this year. Everyone was excited to get back to school and see all their friends. All of them ended up with not to many friends from last year but they are excited to make new ones. I love having them at a Charter school so it is just uniforms and not having to worry about what they will wear each day. Plus saves mommy lots of money!
