Update on Dan the Man

Just wanted to give an update on Dan! His ankle has made a full recovery. He ran a 7K about a month ago. And he is going to run a 5K next week. He was supposed to run it last weekend, but a really bad sand storm blew in. Dan said that he watched the sand roll in and then turned the sky orange! (I imagine a scene out of The Mummy movie!)

Dan is continuing his college degree with on-line classes. This semester he is taking on advanced physics and calculus. So he should be pretty busy these next couple of months!

He is also working out and eating super healthy. So far he has lost 40 pounds! He is running about 3 1/2 miles every other day, playing lots of basketball, and strength training. GO DAN!

He is staying busy with work. One of the perks of his jobs, is when he is able to do meet and greets with celebrities. Recently, the comedian Dane Cook just visited his base. And Dan was able to VIP escort him around the base all day. Dan said he was THE nicest and most down to earth guy he has ever met. He also said that his stand up show was hilarious and really clean.
 Thank you for all of your prayers, love, and support with this deployment. I can't remember a time when we have have felt more love and support from our friends and family. Thank you.

GO DAN!! Wahoo, 40 pounds is amazing! Why can't girls lose weight that fast? It's so unfair! Anyway, Leah I am still laughing about your email about Ben throwing the rocks in the toilet. We seriously are living parallel lives, but in this case, it's not a good thing! See you at bunco right?

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...
