After party, Slippery Recovery
             As you guys had known from my last post I was getting ready to attend Ryan Freed's welcome home party.  Everything was going fine at first, Hailee wrote down the directions and we were on our way but when we got on the roads we could tell they were slick and pretty bad.  Hailee apologized and said
                           "Heather, I'm sorry I'm driving so slow but I'd rather you'd arrive late then in a bunch of pieces."  I shrugged and I told her not to worry.  We talked and we realized that we were lost.  Hailee decided to pull into a gas station to ask for directions.  Sooner or later we arrived at the destination.  Since it was my first time in the massillion rec center Hailee offered to walk in with me.  When I spotted Becca I immediately apologized for being late.  
                          For the record I was an hour late.  She laughed and said not too worry and she understood how slippery the roads were.  Becca looked gorgeous.  She had a beautiful red dress and she had her precious baby Aria in her arms.  Aria looked so cute in her little outfit.  
                       She had this little red white and blue dress on that looked like the American flag but instead of stars on the top it had glitter.  Becca said her mother made it.  She said she also had a jacket that was made out of a feathery material but Aria kept on wanting to chew on it and the material would get in her mouth so she had to take it off.  LOL Aria loved my purse.  I am sure all of those who have followed me know which purse I usually carry around.  
                  It is a leopard print and it used to belong to my mom.  In a way I am sure it still does but I am the one that uses it the most LOL.  She forgot that she had it until I asked if I could use one of her purses.  She has such big purses.  Well anyway Aria's eyes widened when she saw the purse LOL.  OK enough about that.  For awhile I talked to a few of the guests.  I met a very nice couple.  I think their names were Carolyn and Bob along with Becca's kind grandparents. I also had the pleasure of seeing my former women's chorale teacher at Hoover and her family.  
               It was great to meet her husband and children.  It was kind of weird because some of the guests looked at me and asked how I am related to Becca or Ryan and I basically told them I am just a good friend.  Well anyway after awhile the dancing began.  I danced to a couple songs then I noticed I got a voice mail.  It was from my mom wanting to know when she could come and get me.  At that time it was 8:40 and I basically told her that she could come get me in an hour which she did.  However, I told her to "text" me when she arrived but instead she came in and got me. 
           In a way that embarrassed me.  I'm sorry mom if you are reading this but in a way I am thankful she was there when we walked out.  I took a nasty slippery fall when we walked outside.  When we walked out the pavement was covered in ice and I slipped and fell.  I took a pretty nasty bump on the head where a knot started to form and my left hand was covered in blood.  My mom frantically helped me up and her friend Katey frantically hurried out of the car and together they helped me in the back seat.
              Mom was saying that they should really put some salt on that pavement to prevent that from happening to others.  Well anyway when we got home mom gave me anti pain reliever that she had left over from her mouth surgery along with an ice pack and when I woke up this morning the knot was gone.  It's just sore.  So I'm on my way to a speedy recovery so please try not to worry.  I am taking it easy  today.  
                                                                                                                     Lots of love,
