Ehhh....

Well, I guess its about time I got off my ass and wrote something on here. At a loss on what to put down though, not much exciting happens around here.

Gary did go into the hospital for one night last week; apparently his potassium levels were too low and it made his heart begin to throw a lot of PVC's, which made him wobbly and dizzy. The Dr's bumped up how much potassium he has to take & it seems to have done the trick, cause he is almost back to his old ornery self.

School is going okay, made a 3.4 grade average last quarter. This quarter is a little whacked though. They have me in a 'career development course'. Its a good course to take, if you are in your teens or twenties, mabe even your thirties! It teaches you how to map out or plan your "career", how to do a "vision statement" ect., ect....Eeeeek. Plan my career? At 50+ years? Not a heck of a lot of planning left to do there! Sometimes I really have to wonder if advisiors actually LOOK at the students that come into their offices for advice.

Got me a camera for my birthday, or I should say Gary did. Its not a fancy Nikon one, but it has some good features, which of course, are as confusing to figure out how to use as any fancy camera..lol. Here are some of the pictures that I have taken with it. Not to bad, if I do say so myself.

Well the end of the first quarter of school is drawing near with all of the drama and panic that goes along with it. I only get 5 days off school though, which sucks. How come the rest of the colleges around get two weeks off? **whines & cries** In any case its over; only three quarters left!!

Kudos need to go tho Gary for all the hard work he is putting in the gym. It tuckers him out, but he is getting stronger and healthier. He even has started riding again!!! We went team penning the other night with Chance & Elisa. Gary did two runs on Chance's horse Cowboy, and then I did two runs. I have to say it felt good to be back in the saddle again, even though Cowboy was being a butt. You'd swear that he had never seen a cow before in his life. He didn't go all spastic on us, but he flat refused to get closer than 4 feet to any of the steers. God, I miss Ziggy!! Remember him at the team penning's we used to go to Tonja & Meredith? **sigh**

Here are the required pictures of Leanna, who turned 9 months old the day after these were taken.

This last one was taken with my cell phone. I love it because you can really see her beautiful eyes.

Long Time no Post....

I guess I should have gotten off my butt and posted something on here a long time ago, but things have been hectic with me returning to school. This quarter I am taking 16 credits, going to school 6 days a week and working 25 days a week at a clinic in the local VA hospital, so that gives me 1 1/2 days to do homework, clean house, do all the other stuff that we reserve for the weekends. Errrrggg, I'm pooped! Next quarter looks to be a little lighter; I'm only going to be taking 14 credits and I'll have 3 days off!!! Yipee!!!

No post goes without mentioning the light of our lives, Leanna. She is 8 months old now and getting to be quite the character. She is still Papaw's girl all the way.I was informed that lst night she has started to crawl. Up to now if she wanted anything she'd just roll for it. Jennie tells me she rolled under their futon the other day and got stuck..poor baby..lol.

Chance & his girlfriend Lisa went to their first schooling show this weekened. They did rather well; Chance got a 2nd place, a third, a couple of fourths. Lisa did about the same except no 2nd place.

Gary is still on track with losing weight. He goea tto the gym and is now taking water areobics as well (all under the watchful eyes of a trainer & others) His BMI has dropped nearly 3 points, which is quite a bit, I am so proud of him & how dedicated he is.
