a very nice, relaxing saturday night

I just got home from having dinner with Uma, John, and Wayne (John's brother) at John and Uma's house. YEAH, you read that right. At their house. As in, not the freaking hospital. I have lots of other things to say, but before I get into a full-on post (I'm feeling tired and probably won't write up a new update until tomorrow) I just wanted to shout out to the world because, hello, how awesome is it that Uma is at home with John??? So awesome. We spent the evening hanging out on their couch watching American Idol, after eating a delicious meal of angel hair pasta with chicken and veggies (curtesy of John, the cook). Yes, there's a long road ahead, and Uma's already tired of therapy and frustrated that her words aren't all there yet. But the simple fact that Uma's at home is something to celebrate! Have a glass of wine with someone you love, splurge and order that piece of chocolate cake you weren't going to order, get up and dance. These are truly good times.
