First Pictures in 6 Months!

It has been a very tiring month for the Leech family and I am so happy that Greg is starting to recover, that we're no longer sleeping in a hospital and that we'll be going home soon! However, we are still in the middle of Washington D.C. staying in a little hotel room and it's very hard to get away from people here, so Greg decided to take us both on a relaxing getaway to West Virginia this past weekend! And it was just what we needed! We left Thursday evening and spent the night in a hotel in Harpers Ferry because there was an arts festival that we wanted to go to Friday morning. We love just walking around checking out all the local vendors and their wares! I really love unique one of a kind handmade stuff and Greg bought me a bracelet there that might be one of the coolest things I've ever owned. So cool, in fact, that I will be dedicating an entire blog to it alone later on. For now I will just add that we had a great time wandering around checking out all the interesting art, food and just crazy random stuff! After the festival, we drove about two and a half hours west to Blackwater Falls where we rented a secluded cabin for the rest of the weekend. It was so great to get out of the city for a while and just be alone! We spent a morning hiking, an afternoon picnicking, an evening eating "Tin-Dins" (if you don't know, you should ask! They're the greatest thing you'll ever eat!). The whole weekend was awesome and it was great to see Greg in his element again, running, hiking, he's so happy outdoors! I know he'll be so grateful when he can get back to grueling triathlons and rappelling off of insanely high cliffs...upsidedown...But for now, we're just happy to be out of the hospital. It was such a breath of fresh air (literally!) to get out of the city for a few days, and West Virginia is beautiful! Still way more trees than we're used to, but definitely beautiful! In other news, Greg is recovering very quickly. As you can see in the pictures, he has a cast on his right arm which they will be taking off on Monday to see how things are healing. He has some lacerations thorough his hand that need to heal and a lot of broken bones that need to fuse, but if all goes well, we should be able to take some time off from hospital visits to fly to Utah to see our families! We are both very excited about that! Not only are we excited to see our families but we had to leave Ares there are well so we are very anxious to see him! Well, I guess that's about it for now. Everything is going well and I am loving being able to be with Greg 24/7! It's great to have my husband back even if the circumstances aren't ideal. I'm just so grateful that he's here...
