Need Sleep...Must Study...Need Sleep...Must Study

Wish me luck on my cardiovascular exam tomorrow. I thought it was the other day but thankfully I was wrong! I have got most of my review down pat, well terms and such - just not the most important that helps you figure out the rest, the blood flow through the heart. *sigh*

Argh! I Am So Confused!

Yes I know, something is indeed wrong with me. Every time I make a decision I go back and re-analyze that decision and then back and forth. Originally, I was dying for this Church, pictured above...then I switched to Nardin Park. Now I may be switching back. I wish I could pay someone to make decisions for me because I gladly would!!! Now instead of studying for my test that is in exactly an hour and a half, I am blogging about my indecisiveness. I have to make up my mind by the end of the week, and get my story straight, so that I may actually have an address for guests to arrive at and see us get married!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen...We Have A Church!!!

Nardin Park United Methodist Church

The Side of the Church...Van Not Included...LOL.

The Sanctuary.

Avery's 1st Easter On Dry Land


Future Gap model? I Think So!!!

No reason. Just wanted to post these....

We had a wonderful Easter Brunch!!! Thank you Anne for taking the photos and joining us before flying back home. Miss you...

Um, Can You Please Repeat That?

Yeah so....Monday. EKG testing in class. Performed on/by classmates...Must open shirt - in front of class...ummm. Nuff said.

*Almost There*

What a journey this has been...

I think he was just about 4 or 5 days old here with Auntie Anne. I miss him this small!!!

Look at that teeny baby. He was barely a month old! Precious!!!

A little older....

Almost 1!!!!

I cannot believe our little Avery is about to turn 1 years old. After 8 months of severe colic, sleepless nights and lot's of ear infections - bring on the cake!

Avery has changed so much in this past year, in turn, changing us in so many ways. Watching him grow into his own little personality has been such a gift from above. I feel so blessed that I have been able to stay home with Avery and be there for his first word, the day he started crawling, laughing, clapping and so on. It's fascinating to me that we created this tiny little being who was completely reliant on us. Now I am watching him interact and figure out things on his own. Being able to watch the progression for a whole year - there aren't words to explain. Every sacrifice we made was worth it. I don't know what Jarod or I would do without seeing his little smiling little face every morning. Everything happens so fast. You try so hard to enjoy every moment but it can be trying when you have to juggle school, family event, work, etc.
I am so thankful that Avery is finally happy, laughing and playing and not crying. If anyone has had a colicky baby you know that you never think you will make it through! But you can do it. It's so strange because I can barely remember what is was like, how hard it was. I am getting the baby itch....

I can't wait to post Avery's Birthday Pics!!!!

Cardiovascu-blah!

The heart I am growing tired of looking at....

I think I would much rather deal with these kind of hearts instead...LOL.


I probably won't be blogging for a bit (Anne and Nick, my only two viewers, I know this must be devastating news, ha ha.)...I am currently spending my evenings at school full-time to become a medical assistant , being Avery's Mommy during the day, somehow studying, planning the Wedding and working part-time on the weekend. It may not sound like a lot but it really is!

Wish me luck on my first paper covering heart disease and my first exam on the cardiovascular system!!!

Off to the Doctors I will now go - Avery is very sick and needs some antibiotics a.s.a.p!!!


Hope everyone is doing well on their side of the world!

*UPDATE*
- Went and bought Juno!!!
- Visited Jarod at work.
- Got wallet stolen at Wal-mart - yes, with social security card in it. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I will be the next identity theft commercial for sure...Last week my camera was stolen - is someone stalking me and stealing my things...hmmmm?
