It's totally official.. lol

Yep I'm definetly leaning towards being an OR nurse. Today i started at the new hospital here in town. I really can't say enough great things about this place. If any one of my family members has any problems we will for sure go to this one. All the rooms are private rooms. The nursing/patient ratio is 1 to 4. It's so clean. We had lunch in their cafeteria and i usually hate hospital food. WEll they had lasagna and salad and foccia bread. It was fantastic. They also had rice crispy treats for desert and i have to tell you it was fantastic like someone made it at home. Getting back to the OR part. I was able to go in and see a back surgery today and it was great. I was so impressed with the level of care and what all the OR nurses do in there. I think that i have picked a field.. Now i need to graduate and find a jobbie job. lol.. I'm telling you it was awesome. I didn't know if i would have the stomach to actually look in the incision and see someone's inside. Well i did after a little bit and that was totally eye opening. lol. I was so impressed with the staff out there. Anyway i'm sure i'll talk more about this later but lilly is throwing a fit right now. She hasn't had a nap at all today so she is worn out and in turn is wearing me out.

What a busy weekend.

We got alot done. Not everything we wanted to get done but alot. We got a bunch of stuff for the yard. As soon as the snow goes away I'm going to have to get out there. I bought a few a sheperds hooks for birdhouses and flowers. We have no trees in our yard except the little one out front so i thought the hooks might work. My tomatoes that i'm growing inside are really taking off. I'm excited. I hope they can make the transition outside later. I joined curves and I have been going 3 times a week. Well this is my second week coming up. Mom joined too so we are oging together. Anyway Im in my pharm class so i better pay attention. I'll write more later.

congrats to mi and doug!

I told you it was snowing up here.. lol

Happy Birthday Liz!

Just wanted to wish my sister in law a very happy snowy birthday. Hope you have a restful one!

Lilly is playing mommy now..

Yes here are some pictures of lilly pushing her baby in the stroller. She is so funny with her little doll who's name is " baby." Buddah tried to bite baby's leg and lilly chewed him out good. lol.. We are busy today. Everyone is still fighting the cough and sniffles but trying to enjoy this 70 degree day. WE have been in the yard most of the morning. We dumped some dirt and are straightening out our yard in front. We have to plant some grass over it but it's is suppose to snow this week so i'll do it after the snow. We dug up our window wells and straightened them out too. Ithink we may go out and shoot our guns today. I have a bit of running around to do also. Next week is our big math test. So say a little prayer for me and the other girls if you think about it. It's on wed and if we don't pass it you are kicked out of the program. YIKEs.. I think i will do fine but i have a few friends that i'm wondering how they will do.

Go Louisville!!

This is the team i'm rooting for. Their coach was UK's coach for a long time during our winning streaks and i think they could do it. He has been their building up this team for a a while now so i won't discount them!!!

It's been a long day..

Today i had clinicals and i had to miss half a day. I was so worn out and just coughing all over people so i decided to go home half way thru the day. Mom and lilly were happy to see me come home early. It didn't do me much good cause lilly wanted to play. I have no idea where she got her energy but she didn't take a nap all day till 4pm. She woke up at 630 am so that was a little unusual for her. She has so many teeth coming in right now though. I picked up some baby popsicles for her. Liz suggested some little ones called mighty bites or something like that. They are little and they have something in them that make them melt slower so they are a little less messy. I"m goign to try her on one tomorrow and see how that goes. Allan is trying to get her to go to bed right now. We had a grocery run at 830pm. I decided that would be a great time to go always. I was in and out of the superwalmart in no time flat. No lines.. it was great! We are both doing our march madness brackets. I"m excited that a few different teams made it in. Allan is excited that North Dakota state made it in. Anyway i hear lilly crying so i better go check in on them.

pictures on the photosite

There are a ton more pictures on the photosite. We had such a good time. IT was pretty the whole time. It rained the day we left but that was fine by us. Lilly had a great time with her cousins. I enjoyed seeing all of our family. We have talked about d.d. and opa coming up here for a visit. We are really hoping that you all can make it up here soon. That would be great! Thanks for having us. We sure did enjoy the time with you all and the wonderful texas state again!

We are enjoying the weather..

We are having so much fun in texas. The weatehr has been wonderful. I'd say close to 80's everyday. We went sailing today and have been out in the kayak a few times. Lilly got a baby pool for out in the yard and she had so much fun. I haven't downloaded any pictures yet. I"ll do that when i get home on friday. D.D. just got home with some fried chicken so off to lunch i go.
