We're alive!

Hiiiii!

Sorry it has been a while .. I keep thinking I will make the time to upload the latest pictures and post an awesome blog - but lately I have been working in the computer lab on school desktops (so I don't have any pictures) and I haven't really even considered just logging in and posting a quick update until now!

Colby found a job! Now we are just waiting for everything to fall into place. He is going to start doing deliveries for the Greek restaurant and the owner of the Greek restaurant (the crazy Steelers fan - who is actually flying to FL and going to the Superbowl!) got a friend who also owns a restaurant to go in on it too and Colb is going to deliver for BOTH restaurants. ALSO, he was talking to our landlord this morning, who just happens to own a few restaurants, and she said she would love to have him do deliveries for her too! So we shall see what this all pans out to - but we are both stoked!

School is going well, we finally are learning clinical things are starting to feel like we are on the road to Doctorville. I got home last night and started poking and proding at Colby to try and find all his pulses: carotid (neck), brachial (near the edge of the bicep), radial (on the wrist), femoral (inguinal region - I can't think of a "layman's term" for this! hahah!), popliteal (behind the knee), posterior tibial (behind the medial ankle bone) and dorsalis pedis (on top of the foot). Then I was showing him cool tricks to check hand perfusion (making sure the blood is flowing from where it is supposed to). I really liked it :)

I have an SGA meeting today and as 3rd semseter class rep, I feel like I am on top of things. I really enjoy the position because I always have something to say.. about EVERYTHING (as most of you are VERY aware! - Mom!) so I feel like I get to always be right in the mix and on top of things.

Mom is coming on February 25th! Some friends from high school (Amanda, Kelly, Libby and Meghan) are working on coming at the end of March, everyone is just trying to make sure they can get work off! I AM SO EXCITED!

Back to studying - blogging was a nice procrastination though! Pics to come soon!

Love you all!
