Our first family photo since the bleed in our Bishop's back yard.
This is the very first photo of me seven days out of ICU.  I'm holding my cousin's brand new baby .  I remember sitting a lot because my head was still hurting really bad and my legs were in horrible pain.  I was so thankful to be able to hold a new life!

This would be our final time we saw Grandpa Walker
My aunt Cherie and Cousin Sadie this was our first reunion since the bleed.
Kirk and I one week to the day of the bleed.

My Grandpa who I lost on Valentine's Day!  My heart broke that day because I could not attend his funeral since my doctors would not permit me to travel.  I was very close to him so by far this was one of my most challenging days.
The day I was able to drive!
All of our great friends and we celebrated Kirk's MBA
Holding my cousin's baby.  She was bigger then the first time I held her.
My first party that I attended with headaches
The first time I saw my Grandma since the bleed.
The first time I saw my Grandpa's grave.  It was that day that the reality hit me that he truly was gone.
