it was recently brought to my attention, that i haven't updated this in almost 6 months. yikes.

all right, well, i am a full-fledged P5, with one quarter down and only two to go until my clinicals begin. talk about freaky! 

i have my bridesmaid's dress for emily's wedding    bea-u-ti-ful!!!!! and cindy's dresses have been ordered, so we will get those soon. it's so exciting to help these girls move into the next stage of their lives, and be a part of the big day. i'm seriously honored. 

other news.....i went on a date last night.....updates will follow as they come.....   

yay for thanksgiving! yay for osu vs michigan this weekend! (GO BUCKS!!!!) yay for browns vs steelers this weekend!

God is amazing @ restoration and healing 

a month of summer gone....and it's been divine   

* my vacation to virginia beach with my sister was amazing.....the ocean was so......incredible......in every sense of the word. I was breathless every time I took in the beauty that lay before me. it might sounds slightly dramatic, but it's honestly how I felt, lol!!!

* my weekend trip to Chicago was so intense but excellent! I got some things straight in my heart, and thanks for Rachel, I'm headed back to my old self. downtown Chicago = absolute AWESOMENESS!!! and on top of that, I adore Rachel Rhoda 

* work has been okay. I love the people there, and it was nice to fit right in again, like nothing ever changed. yet.....things are painfully the same. I'm itching to get out into my own spot in the real world and actually use the knowledge I'm accumulating. Unfortunately for me, I've got two more years. Fortunately, deep down, I'm uber thankful for my "buffer zone" of the next couple of years - no stress of adulthood yet, lol!

* hmmm....what else....I've read some great books, relaxed in the sun (so far a nice tan), played some baseball and basketball, and all around enjoyed myself.

Hope you're each doing well. Love you, miss you, and I'm praying for you!

recap of the last week of my life:

*wedding in chicago - had a blast with my family, danced the night away and i'm pretty sure i broke my toe from dancing in high heels the whole night (i'm an idiot). but my cousin was gorgeous, the ceremony made my dad cry like a baby (it was on what would have been the bride's sister's 47th birthday had she been alive....she died 25 years ago....), and the car rides were just insanity with my family, but that's pretty normal.

*food poisoning from above wedding - throwing up 8 times in an 8 hour time span. enough said on that. still feeling poopy. two aunts, 7 cousins, two brothers, one sister, mom all sick too.

*missing the last two days of class which is equivalent to the entire last exam that i just took - sweetness. i actually think i did pretty well, considering the fact that my brain seems to be in slow-motion-i'm-tired-learning-mode. now i have to cram for the final on friday morning. i feel definitely screwed right now. maybe a nap will help.

*i just saw a smashed boom box on the sidewalk between park hall and roberts. it was totally like that scene in office space with the computer out the window. people have issues.

*i'm going to VA beach in 5 days with my sister. can't wait.

*i realized that i threw up on the first day of class this year (i had a migraine) and the last day of class this year. yeah, i'm weird.

okay i'm tired of typing. nap time.

SWEET.

that's two tests in a row that have been terrible    nothing like starting off the weekend with a bang.....or a splat, depending how you look at it.....

heading out to dinner tonight with amy and her father....then back here to???.....then tomorrow morning is honor's day......then i'm taking a nap.....then i'm going to study for a while then i'm going to R-E-L-A-X......then church on sunday, more relaxing/napping, then the tnt picnic......then watching the west wing because there are only 2 more new episodes ever ever ever......and that's all i got 

feliz cinco de mayo, mis amigos.

I'm tired of all this! ARGH! If I hear about one more.....oh......never mind......

lol 

it's not even worth typing.

Only 17 more days. Only 17 more days. Only 17 more days.

Praise the Lord, lol!!!
