My Husband Rocks Fridays
My husband rocks this week for helping so much with all the nitty gritty details of going back to school. I get so stressed with all the stupid details like financial aid, interviews, applications, paperwork, etc (my Mom did this for me the first time, lol). He even helped prep me with questions they might ask (I think it helped since my interview went really well)! He is so supportive about me going back to school and it makes things just a little easier!

Nervous
I have an appointment with the Vet Tech Institute of Houston Wednesday to discuss being admitted and starting school in July. I will graduate as a Registered Vet Technition (the equivalent of a registered nurse in the human world). I also know they are 80% full already.
I want this SO badly! I want to start my career. I want a purpose and a drive and I want to contribute more to my family (career-wise). I am praying and praying that this will be what is right for me! I have been trying for the last 3 years to have patience and trust in God that everything discouraging that has happened since I quit school have been for a REASON! It's been a struggle to trust that having to quit school after busting my butt for 3 years and now working a job that has made me miserable for a year and half has not been for nothing! This has to be it!
God is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine. Eph 3:20
Please pray for me too! Pray that if this is what I am suppose to do and that I will get in! If it's not, please pray for God to show me the way, and that I will not lose hope. It's getting hard.

Barton Creek 2009
In December 2007 I discovered this quaint little place in Northwest Austin called Barton Creek Resort and Spa. On a whim, Chris and I took a long weekend there and just loved it. That weekend we vowed we would go back someday. That someday is...THIS WEEKEND! Chris and I will be celebrating 6 years together (2 1/2 years married) as well as Valentines Day. We are SO excited!
We will stay here....
Sleep here....
Walk and explore here.....
Eat here (lots I might add)....
Relax around a fire here (if it's cold)...
Have cocktails and hang out here...
Needless to say we are thrilled and so grateful it all worked out! The only sad part of the weekend will be not getting to see this face for 2 days :o(
I know I will cry when we drop her off at the vet tomorrow, but I also know her Grandma and Grandpa will be there to get her Saturday afternoon and she will be THRILLED. (Thanks Mom and Dad!!!) That makes me feel much better! I'll post pics when I get back! I hope everyone else has a great weekend!

My Husband Rocks Fridays
(Note: I actually posted this on Friday but due to technical difficulties it is being posted on Saturday.)
Chris rocks this week for letting Laura and I have a girls night here Saturday night! After Laura and I have dinner, Chris will vacate to the bedroom while Laura, Brecca, Mylie, and I enjoy wine, girl movies, and games. He will also being making us dessert while we are at dinner...yes! (Although I have a feeling the clean-up will be allllll me. Oh well).
Before you feel too bad for him, he has the option to join us, but the girly movies tend to scare him away I think, lol. He will enjoy playing with his new Blackberry all night without me telling him to put it away. Hee hee.

I got this from Facebook
I was tagged to come up with 25 random, interesting facts about myself on Facebook, and since I spent the time and effort to come up with 25 interesting things about me (and I use the term "interesting" loosely) I felt I should get the most out of it :o)
1. I am a total germ-a-phob. This is why after finishing more than half of nursing school I will not be going back. It's just not for me.
2. My husband recently informed me he thinks I am addicted to Chapstick and made me switch to the "non-medicated" kind because that apparently will help me "kick my addiction". The joke is on him because the non-medicated kind SUCKS and I have to use it like 3x as much.
3. I eat only whole wheat and sugar free in my diet, except on Fridays when Chris and I go out to eat. Then, my diet is out the window.
4. Since the Dr I work for is no longer satisfied with making $5 million a year, he has cut hours at the office on part time employees (which includes me) to save more money. I now work Mon, Tues, and Thurs only, and quite frankly, I love it.
5. I absolutely LOVE Jon and Kate Plus Eight and will watch it any time it's on. I think their kids are adorable. They make me not so scared to have kids. Although not 8. Never 8.
6. On that note, I know 25 people who are either pregnant or have recently had a baby, and it freaks me out! I am still in denial that I am even old enough to realistically be a mother. I am waiting until 30+ so that my friends kids will be old enough to babysit mine. Good plan.
7. I am planning to start school in August to get my degree in Vet Technology (and possible go on to get my degree in Vet Medicine). I like that I can't catch animal germs.
8. My dog means the world to me. She is one of my best friends and she can make me smile no matter what. She's the sweetest girl. I can't imagine ever loving a human child of mine more than her (although everyone swears I will)
9. With the exception of dinner, I eat the EXACT same thing for breakfast, lunch, and snack every single day. I like consistency.
10. I recently started doing Pilates and I love it! It's really challenging and it makes me feel great. I am hoping to get good enough in the coming months to take a class (ya know, and not humiliate myself.)
11. I prefer a cold, cloudy day over a hot, sunny day. I hate the summer!
12. I think I have become a little bit of a Cinco Ranch snob. Anyone who lives here will get it.
13. I am terrified of flying. Terrified as in, panic attack, hyperventilate, terrified. All these crashes lately have not helped my fear.
14. I walk my dog every day. If you want a good laugh, come watch. Imagine a sled dog pulling a sled. One day I will just tie her to a wagon and have her pull me.
15. I am a clean/neat freak. I can't stand mess or clutter. If I see something out of place or messy I have to fix it before moving on to something else. Cleaning relaxes me. I love it.
16. My above fact is an issue because I have an indoor Golden Retriever. The battle against dog hair is a constant issue for me.
17. I have been getting the urge to move to another state lately. Somewhere cold that doesn't require flying to get back to Texas in one day. Any thoughts?
18. I want my own cooking show. Everyday Italian and Paula Dean are my favorites.
19. I'm super jealous of how good my husband is at his job. He just gets it and makes it look effortless. I want a talent.
20. I will not wear the color yellow. I think it's just awful on me. The same with dark green. And gray.
21. I am obsessed with UT football! I miss college football season already and can't wait for September! HOOK EM HORNS!!!
22. I have VERY strong opinions on subjects such as abortion, gay marriage, immigration, religion, etc.
23. I like my pizza with light sauce, cheese and onions only. I usually end up having to get my own pizza, lol.
24. Chris and I lived in North Carolina for a year and most of that time, I struggled to enjoy it. Yet Chris and I have found ourselves missing that time. I guess it was simpler then. We would never move back, but maybe we will go visit :o)
25. I love to watch the Weather Channel. I suppose it's because here we only get warm and hot. It's nice to see that some people actually get to enjoy seasons.
