--pumpkin carving--

for our date night this week...Dave carved a wicked awesome skull, and I carved the bat. I know that we are early...but there wasn't another night for us to do it together...

***okay so I can't seem to get pics to upload right now. I will have to add them later. but they are awesome... so i will get them here. ----sorry----

this week i have my nutrition midterm, lab quiz on the nervous system, math midterm, and my lab midterm... wish me luck!

my light today....

Hey all!
Today while I was reading along in my book of mormon I "stumbled" along on something that I can really relate to and I want to share with ya'll. If any of you want to read (what i view as) a great chapter in the book of mormon go read 2nephi chapter 4. as i was reading this it was like my life right now... i can completely relate to nephi's feeling in this chapter!
i feel like i am at the bottom of a well, and the water is rising under neath of me and its raining from above. all i can do is barley stay a float, gasping for air. as i read this chapter i realized that even spiritual giants go through similar feelings of discouragement. it brought light to my dark and dreary day...

i hope that you all enjoy. let me know what you think of this chapter.......


XOXOXOXOXOXO :)

6 random "things" about me and my life...

Hummm. here goes...


1. The first thing that came to mind is my kitchen table....




Our kitchen table has become our laundry room. If clothes are folded, they stay here. If clothes are not folded...they stay here. its one of those things that I don't have time to fix-so I have to just let it be...I am just grateful that I have clean clothes to wear. It takes both of us doing what we can, when we can to keep our house semi-functioning this semester.


2. This semester is the hardest semester ever (at least up to currently). I have made a daily schedule (for myself and Dave to stay on the same page) that I will share:

Monday: In class from 8-2, study group from 2-4 for anatomy, study group for math from 4-5, nap from 5-6:30, lab from 7-12.

Tuesday: Class 8-11, chemistry study group from 12-2, nutrition study group from 2-4, nap from 4-6:30, lab from 7-12.

Wednesday: In class from 8-2, study group from 2-4 for anatomy, study group for math from 4-5 (if i am lucky nap from 5-6),work 7pm-1am.

Thursday: Class from 10-4 (hope for a nap from 4-6), Work 7pm-1am.

Repeat Monday for Friday.


Saturday: every other Saturday I work 7am-7pm. If I am not working, I am at school from 9-5...

This is why I am so detached from my friends and family. I really am not forgetting about you. I just have WAY more on my plate than I can chew... This is also why I am so thankful for David. He is the one constant in my life. He is truly amazing.


3. The fact that I had Dave pull the Halloween decorations out of the garage. Yep, still sitting in the box and its already the 17th. Is it worth putting up? Halloween is 2 weeks away....


4. Our dog is so spoiled! With the snow already flying... we couldn't let him freeze...

When we went to petsmart and saw this hoodie, we just couldn't pass it up. any idea why? LOL!!!

(this is probably my favorite pic of Dave and Mac currently)

5. I love to take pictures (and have them taken). Dave hates them! that is why I have so many side profile pictures of him.


6. Did I mention that I have OCD??? I already have 90% of Christmas presents bought for our families....

So there you have it...

I tag: Amy, Bonanza, Jill, Katrina,Marci and anyone that wants to have some fun....

PS:

We did NOT end up getting another Dog... not this time around. Maybe next litter. We figured that we don't have time to potty train another one this semester.

oh by the way...

October is breast cancer awareness month. Because of what I do for a living this is important for me to spread the word to all those that I care about.

I found this funny "sticker"...

But really, check yourself and spread the word!!!

Today...

Hey All,

Today is... Well life is still crazy. I am sorry that I haven't been keeping up on once a week posts. Anatomy is completely engulfing my life. Then my other classes that I have to somewhat try to keep up in.

Dave is still just a working hard...and Mac keeps us on our toes. It sounds so lame i know... But our Mac adds such joy to our lives. (you totally don't get it until you have a dog of your own) I have always loved dogs, but he is the BEST dog ever.

Last Friday night I surprised Dave with tickets to a Mixed Martial Arts fight with a bunch of local fighters. Dave knew that we were going to the fight, but he didn't know that I got VIP tickets (that was the surprise). It was such a blast!!! We try really hard to have a date night once a week. If we don't we literally can go from Sunday to Sunday without having a conversation with each other. I think that is about all that has happened since the last time that I posted... Oh, I guess that I better add that Football has started. So Dave has something to "do".

I will really try to be better at posting!
Love you all!

Life as we know it...SUPER CRAZY! I have the best husband in the world! Dave is so supportive of me and my dreams (notice all of the me's). Thanks babe for that all you do to keep this house a float! You are truly amazing!!! I would NOT be who I am today with out you in my life.

LOVE YOU!!

I also want to thank all of my friends and family for all of their constant support and encouragement as I continue to travel down this road! You all have helped shape Dave and I in our lives.
