Family visit & School is starting...

So we went home for a long weekend visit with the family and I can't say that it was the greatest trip that we had. I won't go into any detail about it, but just keep us in your prayers if you think about it.

We did get quiet a few pictures of our niece, Lilly, for around the house. She will be 5 months old on the 27th. Wow, how time has flown by.

School starts on Monday and I am already ready to quit. All the events of life happening all at one time plus the overwhelming amount of reading that I have to do. I have 4 chapters to read just for the first day of class. 26 chapters just for the first week of school. I guess if I understood what I was reading I might not be as overwhelmed but it's hard when you take in so much new stuff at one time. It is encouraging to know that we will have some clinicals the first week of school, I like that kind of hands on stuff. I could go my whole life without reading anything but my bible. I have never been a big reader. I can't remember the last time I had read a book besides a school book or my bible until this year, I have actually read 2 books through completely and I have another that I wanted to start on before school started but I never got around too it, I may just end of returning it because I am not sure that I will ever want to read again after I finish school. William didn't read a book besides his bible for a good 3 years after he graduated, and he didn't read nearly as much as I am having too. The library and I are going to become really good friends because our dog thinks he needs to be petted if he isn't asleep. It's not gonna happen though!

Just keep me in your prayers and I will try to update as I have time, the first day of class is on Monday.

Here are some pictures of our niece.

Tulsa Zoo on our Anniversary...

The day started out as if it weren't going to be a very good day....I burnt my face with my curling iron, accidently made my ear bleed and then got stung on my tongue by a bug just after we got to the zoo. But after that it turned out to be a really good day. After our trip to the zoo we went shopping at the Woodland Hills Mall and then to Copeland's for dinner. YUMMY!!!

I never knew that flamingo's slept on one leg?!?

Pictures below are from the Zoo, Enjoy!

Back for Pictures...

Where shall I begin....so many things to post about.

Jack is doing much better now. We stopped his medicine this morning because instead of diarrhea today it was vomit, fun stuff! Finally around noonish I got him to eat some rice cooked in some chicken broth. He loved it! I also gave him a Tylenol, he took a nap and now seems to be back to his normal self.

William is working on finishing the touch-ups in our office from painting it over 3 months ago. The ladder has been in the office and out cat has discovered that she loves it!

Rylee on her new favorite toy!

I have been wanting a new bedspread set or a bed in a bag for quiet sometime now, we will say atleast for 4 years. I just have never bought one because I couldn't find one that William and I both liked. I finally found one and I am so happy! I have never had a bedspread before that matched anything else on my bed.

Yesterday afternoon I went to Mandy's to get some red low-lights put in my hair.
They turned our GREAT! You can't really tell in any of these pictures but I am so glad because I have a new haircut that is so easy to fix and a new color, that was way over needed. I also got to do my first color, other than my mom, and I think I did a good job. :)
The back of my new haircut. I just added more bangs to the front and more layers in the back.

My orientation for school is on Wednesday, and out Anniversary is on Thursday.

I only have 6 more days of work!
