What a crappy way to start the morning. I didn't feel good this morning and didn't wake up until Jeremy called me from work and told me about the plane crash. There was a bride and groom on the plane on their way to their honeymoon who stayed at the hotel. And Jeremy was there with all of the wedding party and family when they heard this morning. Can you imagine? it breaks my heart. I was crying and baby Turtle came up to me and looked all confused and tried to love on me.

how horrible. I can't even wrap my brain about it

the big news

Well, I made it through a week and I'm still alive. Granted, I've been forcing myself to stay awake at least until it get's dark out even when I take a nap right when I get home from school. My only regret is that I only worked out one day last week, which isn't good. It's just that morning comes sooo early.

I'm good with all my classes except for Immunology. And I'll be good with that class once the prof actually posts on blackboard the powerpoints from class. Even so, I'm really frustrated with that class.

So.. the big news. Jeremy got a new job! He is now the inventory manager for the hotel, as well as the Courtyard in Lexington and the convention center in Cinci. He'll work M-F, no weekends and off by 5. He'll have to drive up to Cinci for the next month or so a few times a week, but they'll pay for mileage. Then, he'll only have to go up once or twice a month. We don't know yet how much of a raise it will be, but he's going to get an official offer letter sometime either on Monday or Tuesday. The other big news is that will this schedule, Jeremy will be able to go to graduate school to get his MBA, which he's been wanting to do for awhile. He's excited and tells me he has intentions of blowing them out of the water.

I ordered a new winter coat and it should be coming anyday now. That is exciting too.

I love my husband because....

he's smart

he makes awesome salsa

he loves animals

he lets me take the body wash when I leave town

his hands are the perfect size to hold

he always wakes me up to kiss me goodbye before he leaves in the morning

he fills up my car with gas when it needs it

he makes me want to be a better person

and a million other things too...

Happy anniversary Virginia and Jeremy.

I promise there will be an answer to the suspense by Friday night.

Today at school went really well. Someone stole my seat from last semester, so I got booted to the 2nd row, but I think I may like it up there. I'm sitting inbetween two of my good friends, so that's exciting.

I had to walk down to Kennedy's today to get my blood pressure cuff and my other book for my elective. But, I couldn't find my book. I assumed that Biology of Aging was in the BIO section, but that's not the case. It's in the A&S section, whatever the hell that is. But, I have an hour break because one of my classes that was suppose to start at 2 isn't starting until 3 so I'm going to walk back down there tomorrow. Fun times.

It takes me 11 minutes to walk to my elective class. I timed it today. I don't know how the whole 10 minutes in between classes is going to work. And I just realized that I'm going to have to miss my elective class every time that I have blocks. that's lame.

my tummy hurts but I think it is just from nerves, it being the first day od school and all. I get done at 11, but I'm staying to help pass out books and also to go to a medical abortion presentation. And then I have to go down to Kennedy's to get my last book and to get a blood pressure cuff.

I'll be able to tell everyone the exciting news hopefully tomorrow. And then we will have many things to celebrate on Wednesday.

Ew, I also have to turn in a form for my EPPE rotation.

I hate paying car insurance every six months. It's like we finally get up to the point where we can finally start putting money into savings and then we have to pay for car insurance. Lame. oh well.

I hope it isn't freezing in class today but I know that it will be.

Wednesday is ging to be so cute! I get out of class at noon, and then we are heading to Louisville for the state fair and tehn ending the night at Thai Smile for dinner.

Smelling cattle and eating at the best resturant in the world with my wonderful husband? How much more can a girl ask for?

Jeremy got home okay last night. It was WONDERFUL to see him since I haven't seen him since Monday morning. I cut my finger on a pair of scissors yesterday, so sorry for all the typos. But, I usually have typos and don't usually have a cut finger, so i guess that isn't a good excuse.

School starts Monday. I'm excited. Although, my schedule will be crazy. I can tell already. It sucks that the college of pharmacy is on a different schedule that the undergraduate program, especially when my elective is in the undergraduate program. I'm worried that they will schedule me in a time when I just can't be there. And when in the world am I going to work out. I can work out at 10-11 some days, but my 11 class is freaking 8 miles away, so I need like 20 minutes to walk there. So I just don;'t know. I guess I'll just play it by ear and take my workout clothes everyday and just go when I can, you know?

My finger hurts.

I need a haircut.

I need a blood pressure cuff.

I need my book for the biology of aging

pictues from the wedding

Well I am going to share my huge news...

I am getting a house... yes one that I own. I qualify for the loan and it is just a matter of making it happen. I am so excited and I can hardly wait.

I will be closed by the end of Sept or possibly the first of October.

Jeremy congratulations on your big news I'm so happy for you! I would love to say that I have your souveniers and I'm comming right over but sadly my luggage still hasn't come so hopefully you guys will get them soon. Virginia if you want to work out from 10-11 this semester I'm right there man! I have to get back in there. Well just wanted to say congrats so that all for now!

we went to the wedding and she was beautiful. And there weren't many people from highschool. but that was cool, because we all got to sit at the same table and catch up.

we are going to Louisville in a bit for Celeste's wedding. Not the Passat, but my friend from high school. SHe was my clarinet buddy. Jermey was asking me if I thought I would see a whole bunch of people from highschool and I don't think I will. I think I may be the only one invited from the good ole days, but I may be completely wrong.

I think that Jeremy will be able to go up to Ashland with me and stay on Monday. But then he has to come back into town on Tuesday and then he's leaving for Florida on Wednesday. They were going to send someone else in his place, but then it would have cost like $800 to change the name on the ticket, so he's going still. Mom, Jeremy is just going to park at the airport on Wednesday. Then Thursday I may head into the ville again to see mom before I have to start back at school. crazy stuff. did I mention that I hate driving.

So, my first class is at 8 everyday. But, I think I have an hour gap in between 10 and 11. I'm trying to figure out if I should work out in the gap or if I should just get up early in the morning and work out at like 6 or so.

I found out that the revamped the PY1 block schedule and it turns out that they will be taking 7 tests in one weekend instead of the 6 that we had. Sucks for them. They changed ours too, so now we have to take 5 tests. But, I'm ok with that. Five testsi n one weekend is much better that 7. Poor PY1s.

we have huge news. huge. But you must wait to hear it. just because. the end of next week.

I guess I should write an update since I haven't in awhile. I have to do two projects, one that is due on Wednesday. And I'm not looking forward to doing research on them. sigh.

I cannot wait until school starts. Then I will have a good excuse to tell people to leave me alone. Leave me alone, I'm studying.

I have to go back to Ashland this week and then the week after that. And then I will be free from four hour round trip drives. Thank goodness. I hate driving. I hate awkward moments and I really hate standing on my feet 10 hours a day.

I am so ready to be done.

I was supposed to have surgery Tuesday. Instead my potassium was too high and I had to spend two long, boring, scary days in the hospital until it went down. Now I'm waiting to hear when they want to reschedule the surgery. Virginia and Jeremy came and spent the day Saturday to help me wait. We went out to eat and to a movie. Rebecca drove me there and back and spent most of Tuesday and Wednesday with me. Christy stayed most of Tuesday and came a couple of hours Wednesday and got me stuff from the store. John came Tuesday as soon as he could get away from work and most of Wednesday after he got the trucks out. Greg was the gofer and brought stuff from home and food for Rebecca and Christy. My friend Diane who is a nurse stopped in after working all day and visited. At least I felt loved even though I just wanted to go home. I didn't feel bad or I could have understood more. Rebecca is going on vacation and after having to take care of me, she deserves it. The Tuesday before last, my mother's kitchen chair broke with me on it and she had to take me to the Immediate Care Center with a bloody head wound. I ended up getting three staples in my head. Then this Tuesday there was the non-surgery. I'm grateful for my family and I've just about decided not to have Tuesday any more.
