Life in the real world

today was kind of surreal. i was out of the house and that didn't mean that we were on our way to the hospital for once. it was exciting. it's funny what you get used to seeing on a daily basis and how you start to take the little things for granted. i was so happy to see snow covered mountains and green grass and blue skies and even traffic if you can believe it (although after a while the traffic got old). we went to babies r us (john rolled me around in a wheelchair), made a quick stop at a store for john's jeans, ate a nice dinner and went to the movies. it was a good day. i hope i didn't over do it. i was sitting for the majority of the time so i think we're ok. i was only going to do one thing a day but it was so easy for the "one thing" to turn into four things. i was feeling good so i thought it was ok but now i'm worried that i over did it. but i was sitting down so i should be ok, right? tomorrow i will do less. i'm just planning on going to church and MAYBE grab a quick bite to eat and then back home to lay down for the rest of the day. life in the real world was great but i'm just a little worried now. i hope i didn't over do it.

omg you totally had a DATE!!! Like a real 'date' when you got dressed, went out, had fun- SO UNFAIR SOOOOO SOOOOOO UNFAIR! LOL!!! YAY! That had to be th ebest day ever- I know what you mean about hor surreal it feels. You forget there is air outside and life outside your 4 walls. Like you've just been parolled and are tasting freedom for the first time in years! Well this 'jail term' was and is SO WORTH IT! Baby Bennett is still in that oven and things are getting back to as 'normal' as they can be until he comes. YOU DID IT!!!
Enjoy parole :)
