Today is the day...

Three weeks before our wedding in April, my wonderful husband-to-be blew out his knee at the last hockey practice of the season. The doctors weren't giving us much hope that he would walk down the isle on his own, but he is a fighter, worked hard doing physio and miraculously walked down completely free of his brace or crutches! At that point we knew that surgery would be a reality but had no idea what kind of time frame we'd be looking at.

Four weeks ago however, Justin got a call with a surgery date for today, Dec. 3rd. We knew he had been placed on the cancellation list and were really happy to get a date so soon! We quickly finished our Christmas shopping, put up the tree and took care of those last minute things we wanted to do before he was laid up for a few months.

So here we sit, Justin is all prepped and now we are just waiting for him to go to the OR... Life will look a little different for a while... He will be off work for several weeks, won't be walking on his own for even longer than that, but at the end of this all we are believing that his knee will be back to full strength and he will be able to light it up on the ice when he plays in the World Police and Fire Games in August!

Thank you to everyone who has asked how he's doing, for all of you who are praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery... That means more than we can say.

So here we go to the next leg of our journey!
