The short of the long update:
- Ruedi went to Arizona in February for job training.
- Ruedi went rock climbing at the end of February and suffered an equipment failure, resulting in him breaking his ankle. He flew home a few days later for doctor's appointments, a surgery and the following 3 months of recovery. He has done PT and is now working his way out of wearing his boot constantly.
- I (Whitney) made a few new friends while Ruedi was away. One of them had a job opportunity come available! I now work at a Counseling office down the road as the 'Director of Operations and Client Relations.' It is part-time (30 hours) and exactly what was needed!
- Ruedi and I co-lead a small group from church through the book 'Crazy Love' by Francis Chan. The 3 other couples in the group are also newly married and new to the area.
- Ruedi left in May to go back to Arizona to finish the training he had barely started.
I didn't realize the past few months could be summed up so succinctly! In all actuality, we are both glad Ruedi is healing, and healing well. I forgot to mention that he broke his right ankle and was 100% non-weight bearing. Life was a bit interesting 'round these parts!
I am thankful for the time Ruedi was home, as exhausting/frustrating/challenging as it was a times. We work real hard on appreciating the time when we are together and I think we came out on the positive this go round.
