Willow Break
The ACL reconstruction on Marcus's knee went well! The doctor found that he had no ACL in place whatsoever so this new ACL should give him the stability and pain-free steps that he lacked before the surgery. His recovery has been incredible. He was laid up for a few days, but just less than a week later he was hobbling around our apartment, chasing Max, and I think he even took down the trash! Anyone who is considering whether or not to have ACL reconstruction, Marcus and I both agree that the procedure has been revolutionized and you should just do it ASAP! He's not 100% safe for work, so he will be off until after the new year. Max and I are going to love having him around!!!
We went over to my uncle Jim's hunting camp at Willow Break this past weekend for a little pre-Christmas gathering. It was cold and wet so we didn't have the annual skeet-shooting competition of the The Women v. The Boys. But, we did enjoy watching the dogs retrieve duck decoys out of the lake. Amazingly, the dogs didn't mind the temperature being in the 40's.
Max has two boy cousins that are 3.5 months and 6.5 months older, Taylor and Allen. Getting the three of them together is endless fun. Wish I had gotten more photos of them, but there are a few in this album from Willow Break:

Marcus in Surgery & Thanksgiving Extravaganza
Marcus finally hit the point this year with climbing all the steps to rig floors and playing on the floor with Max that his knee needed another looksy- the pain was just not normal. Marcus and I have been at Christus Schumpert hospital in Shreveport since 6:30am getting ready for his ACL reconstruction surgery today. From all accounts from doctors, nurses, and friends, ACL reconstruction procedure has been revolutionalized since both of us had the surgery in the late 90's. No more three months on crutches and MUCH less pain we've been told. So, I'm anxiously awaiting his return from surgery and going through the next few days to see what sort of year we have ahead of us. Marcus and I both agree that our previous ACL surgeries and rehabs were maybe the hardest physical ordeal we've ever dealt with- I even think that maybe giving birth was possibly easier? Praise God for modern medecine!!! Also, Marcus's mom came up to take care of Max while we are at the hospital and tomorrow. Such a relief and allows me to really focus on taking care of Marcus. Thank God for "Bita!"
Last week, despite two doctors visits (Max and me), two bouts with the stomach bug (Marcus and me), a 7 hr, a 6 hr, and a 3 hr drive...We had a wonderful most memorable Thanksgiving with our family on BOTH sides. My birthday wish came true early and I received my gift of a new camera. Hence, click on the hazy pics below to get a better glimpse of the Moss and Eyrich celebrations.

Is it really Thanksgiving week?
Time has flown. Here I am in bed trying to figure out how it's almost December. What happened to May, June, July, August, September, October, AND November? Short answer: Max. Long answers: my sister got married (so time disappeared quickly before that), I'm more sleep deprived than ever (so sometimes I'm a zombie and not sure if it's day or night), I started my artwork again (another time evaporator), Marcus's schedule doesn't revolve around a normal week (so we don't have "weekends" to frame our weeks, just mostly time on and sporadic time off), and don't they say time flies when you're having fun?
Time has also stood still. It's hard to believe that Marcus and I haven't been married even two years yet. We definitely have been having fun and have loved being married to each other. Well, minus MONTH 1, as we refer to it. We won't go into that, let's just say other than lengthy Month 1, time has moved like sweet molasses. Crystallized in the best way. I feel like we have been married for eternity and celebrating Thanksgiving with my Moss family at the farm is something we've done forever together. I love our family traditions as new as they may be. They seem to make the young years together last longer.
Marcus will be home from the rig on Wednesday and then we'll drive up to our cousins' place in Tennessee. Over the weekend we'll drive down to Natchez to see the Eyrich side of our family and spend a few days resting with them. Hopefully time will hurry up for Marcus to come home and then it can slow down again for the rest of the week. There is so much to be thankful for this year so I'm praying for extra time for extra thanksgiving! :)
