Recently

A few weeks ago I took wedding photos for a family friend, Kim. I thought they turned out pretty ok for it being my 1st time. I won the dress below for Molly's 2 year old photo shoot with Toni. Now I need to accessorize.

Matilda Jane....so cute!

Too Long

Hi EVERYONE!!!!
It has been a busy beginning of school so far. My job is easy and fun. My class at TWU is hard and fun. How is that possible ;) I just realized that I have become way too caught up in my school work. I was putting tons of pressure on myself for grades and application dates. The other night during a lab test I realized I had totally stopped enjoying life because of my obsession with school. When it hit me I felt 1,000 pounds lift off my back. Remember............going back to school was supposed to be fun. If God has ordained me to get into nursing school I will. How quickly I lose sight of what really matters. Hello Amy...... I will teach you the way you should go. Psalms 32:8

Recently, we have been enjoying many animal related activities. M loves ANIMALS just like her Mommy. We have been to the zoo, Glenrose, and Sharkarosa Ranch. Molly is talking, talking, talking and full of fun. No time with her is never enough for me. Last Friday she got her first hair cut. It is a bob without bangs. So darn cute! I'll post pics when I get some.

Some of you realized my blog went private for about 2 weeks. My cousin had pics stolen off of Facebook. It freaked me out a little and I wanted to think about even having this blog. Some other x-boyfriend also located me so it took me back a little. I have a new phone number, email address and am off Facebook. The blog seems safe enough and I miss connecting with my friends.
Love to all,
Amy

AC OUT!

The AC is out again! So, I decided to let Molly play in the shower last night. She stayed in for over an hour with her toys and a few stuffed animals. I was too hot to tell her no. I am remembering my trip to Africa 8 years ago and how no one had AC. It was buring hot. I feel thankful to live in a developed country and positive that it will be up and running soon.

91

91 is my 2nd lab practical grade! It was an 89 but then the TA added 2 points for something. 3rd lecture test is on Thursday. After that finals. On the home stretch!!!! YEAHOOOOOO!!!!

Anatomy

The work I have put into this anatomy course is beyond belief. When do I have time to do this? #1 priority---Molly Kate. So......I study after 8 until????? Last night I got three hours of sleep but I think I did pretty well on the lab practical. I love the class and have made a couple of nice friends (study buddies). When I want to quit I say to myself.....How bad do you want this Amy???? This keeps me motivated. Off to lecture.

John Paul and Regina

Here are some pics from my cousin's wedding in Oklahoma. He still seems 15 to me so it was weird to watch him get married. All the cousins were there and we had a lot of fun. I LOVE MY COUSINS SO MUCH! We have always been close. It's great when we get together because it's always like no time has passed. We pick up right where we left off.

Friday 7:30 :)

This will be the 4th night in a row for the 7:30 bed time. YEEEEEE HAW.

I just finished a 15 page lab report/research paper on ECGs and heart sounds. Last week we actually performed an ECG on our lab partner. We use our own data to write the report. It only took 11 solid hours total ;) and that doesn't include the time for the ECG. I'd say 15 total. Monday is a lab practical and Tuesay is another lecture test. Summer school is fast! Tomorrow we drive to Norman, OK for my cousin's wedding. Can you spell T-I-R-E-D???? 9:07 and I'm off to bed.

7:30 AGAIN!!!!!

She was down at 7:30 again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll probably post this every day until it becomes normal ;) Last night she didn't even wake up at all. Miracle!

I dissected my cat today. It is soooooooooooooooooooooo disgusting. Thought about posting pictures. The cat is skinned (except for the feet and head). He comes in a zip lock bag with lots of juice. GAG! My friend Candace and I were cleaning up the mess and the cat juice splattered all over her face. Enough said. 9 more days of this A&P class. It's a ton of work and I'll be happy when it's over.

7:30

My child was in bed and asleep by 7:30 tonight! We are starting a routine (no we didn't have a good one before). Hopefully this will continue!!!!!!

Eli Turns 2!

Friday was Eli's B-day party at H.Falls. Line up ladies! Eli celebrated with his 5 friends (all girls)! Happy Birthday sweet boy! We love you!!!!!

Chips and Salsa

M loves spicy food! She will eat hot sauce by the spoonful. Here she is with some chips and queso. The photo at the bottom is a table I just finished redoing. My Uncle and I found this in an antique store near Canton. I've always loved it. He was going to leave it in his apartment for the complex to throw out. His trash is my treasure. It was originally dark brown with mustard colored cushions. I painted it and recovered the seats. It's in the sun room/play room now and looking VERY cute!

Hawaiian Falls

We went to H.F with Michelle, Eli, Angela, Josie and a bunch of friends last night. M LOVES it there. She went down the huge blue slide in the 2nd picture by herself!!!! She is a little dare devil!

Lab

We have a huge test in our lab on Monday. Today I took pictures through a microscope lens so I can remember what the cells look like. If you hold the camera just right it will take a decent pictures. My cousin says I am a huge nerd! Anyway....I was going to send them in an email to my lab partners. It's actually so much easier just to blog it all. If you want to see some disgusting stuff that I am working on go to www.anatomytwu.blogspot.com Cat pics to come!

Whirlwind Week

The past 10 days have been crazy! Last Friday I took my US government final. I made a 100 (thank you very much) and an A in the class. That's two for two so far! Then on Saturday we had a bridal shower for my cousin's fiance. It was at my house. So Friday was wild with cleaning and cooking. The shower turned out nice. Sunday I went out with Julie and Gabriel for G's B-day. There were about 12 of us and we ate in a private room at Nobu (in the Crescent). It was a treat! Then on Monday I started my next class. ANATOMY PART 2!!!!!! It's a 3 hour class with a 1 hour lab. The lab work is equal to the class work. Both classes are interesting. My lab instructor has a very thick Hindi accent. Today he explained the male and female reproductive anatomy. I had to keep myself from laughing. It was the accent and all the terms. TOO HILARIOUS!!!! AND we will be dissecting a C-A-T :( I'll update on that as soon as it happens. I'm very fortunate to get a "second chance" at college. The only down side is that summer school is FAST and the pace is difficult to keep. I'll try my best and hope for good grades. Lab practical on Monday and lecture test on Tuesday!

M cheesing it up at the shower.

HELP!!!! She is way into climbing.

Molly M #2

I'm trying to study for my final exam and I don't want to. BOOO to that :) Today I got on facebook and found my best friend from high school. She and I haven't been in touch in about 3 years. She has a 13 month old daughter named Molly Mounce. I couldn't believe it! We are going to get together soon. Is she a doll or what?

Molly Mounce

Sassy!

Oh where oh where has my sweet baby gone?
Oh where oh where can she be?

M has started being very sassy. OH MY! 3 times she has thrown herself on the floor in a tantrum. She tells me NO to everything. She's only doing it to me so far so that's good. I guess the twos are here a little early. I hope the sweet comes back soon :)
