Some Disappointment...mostly JOY...(Migrated from PostHope)

 So this will be mostly a logistical post as we are preparing to travel to San Francisco this morning.  Who is the "we" you may ask?  Chrissy and Casey Dow will be dropping me and Jason in San Francisco today so I can go in for my COVID test tomorrow (Monday).  As long as I test negative Monday, I will check-in to the hospital at 6am on Tuesday.  The surgery will likely last 6-7 hours and I am looking at a 10 day hospital stay.  The disappointing (but not surprising) news is that there will be no visitors allowed at this time due to high COVID infection rates in the Bay Area.  Once I am safely out of surgery, Jason will likely return to our home in Calaveras County on Wednesday.  My father, Shelby Lawson Smith, will be staying back at the house to take care of our dog, Samwise. 

Here is the joyful news that fills my heart with contentment.  We are still planning to celebrate a wedding feast in August, but we signed our marriage covenant in the presence of God and my father here at the house last night.  Jason will be the one posting updates here (from my account) once I am admitted to the hospital until I am at a point in my recovery where I can look at a screen and type on a keyboard again.  

So, I share with you here, the joy of my heart, a picture of the union of Jason William Ross and Dawn Noelle Smith Beutler.
