28h Wedding Anniversary

On July 25th, George and I celebrated our 28th Wedding Anniversary. Hard to believe that we have been married that long. George, Katie and I spent the day going to Carlsbad Caverns and watching the bat flight at dusk. It was pretty cool to see the bats come out of the Caverns and take flight for the night. I had never seen this before and had been to Caverns on several occasions. The walk was a long one but well worth it It was over 1 1/2 miles down into the Caverns and then another 1 1/4 miles walking through the Great Room. We spent today shopping for Katie's new bedroom items that she will be taking up to her dorm room at Wesleyan. Hard to believe that she will be leaving us in 24 days. I am sooo sad! She will be missed :( I know she really wants to attend this school and see what it is like to live in the Northeast and experience the snow. She will also be swimming on their swim team which will be quite a different experience than swimming on the local high school team and for the El Paso Aqua Posse Swim Team which is a USA Club swim team. Katie recently cut about 6 1/2 inches off her hair and now has a really cute bob. I had been working out at the gym with the trainer until I hurt my knee. Not sure if it is my arthritis or if I pulled a muscle. Either way, the pain is unbearable right now. Guess I have to break down and go and see the Ortho Dr. I am going back to the gym tomorrow to see if there are other exercises I can do that won't strain the knee. I have lost 7 lbs towards my goal of 50 lbs. this year. Sooo I can't give up.
