Busy Busy!!

Sorry for such a long gap in my postings. It's partly because its been really busy and partly because I don't think anyone reads this anyway so I don't remember to update it. I'll try to remember what happened since October and and threw the end of November......

Matt graduated from Flight School! He has been looking for a job for about a month now. Please continue to pray for him to get a job. The economy is not the best right now and so it's affecting the job market for commercial pilots.





A family of pilots! Uncle Bill, Aunt Patsy, Grandpa and now MATT!!!

We have a new addition to our family!! Introducing Maverick!!! We rescued him from a dog shelter in Ft Worth. He's a Golden Retriever mixed with a German Shepard. SOOOO cute!!! He is loving his new home. We spoil him a little cause he's so cute and were not sure how well he was taken care of before he came to the shelter. He was 3 months when we got him.




He loves to explore!






Brandon and Lauren's Wedding ! Starting November we started to prepare for Brandon and Lauren's wedding. Showers, Bachlorette parties, and wedding preparation.













Kama is 9 weeks in this picture!!


Lauren's Bridals







Wedding Prep

Courtney got up at 5am to do everyone's hair in the wedding party. Everyone loved their hair and make-up! Especially Lauren. She looked gorgeous! The extensions were amazing!







The Wedding!!!!!










Kama is 11 weeks here! Yea!


The movie Twilight came out!!! I have read through the 4 book series twice now and loved them all. The movie was great! I got a lot of friends from Young Life together to go see the opening showing at midnight !! We got there 4 hrs early and were still not the first in line! The box office said it beat out James Bond and topped the movie charts at 70.6 million the first 3 days! WOW! I saw it twice. Can't wait for the next one!

We got our tickets 2 weeks in advance, just before they sold out!!!


Yes, I have a shirt.


Lauren, Victoria and Jessica waiting in line with me to see the movie!


Even though we are voting for different guys in the book we can still be friends!




Young Life is going great! Matt and I's 3rd semester is almost done and we still love it. It's such a great ministry to do as a couple.

All the leaders minus Brandi and Lauren. We have a great group this year.

Random Happenings

Young Life girls trip to Starbucks.





Carly being the best YL Leader ever. What a trooper!



Flu shot day at work and since everyone is either a nurse or a doctor, we got to give each other shots! It was fun! Aneil wanted to get back at Dr. Gulden for his crappy day so he volunteered to give him his shot. Brave soul.



Kathleen actually let Aneil give her her shot. Another brave soul, considering OR nurses don't ever give medications PO or any other route. So the last time Aneil has probably given a shot was in nursing school!! Haha! Same goes for me....


The Sara's... One is with an "H" and the other is not. Get it right or you will be in trouble.





Dr Harrison aka "Skip" just haning out at the front desk waiting for the surgeon to arrive. We do a lot of waiting in the OR.

The Twlight Series

This series called the Twilight series is quite possibly my favorite series of books I've ever read. I have been recommending these books to all my friends and co-workers. My Young Life girls first told me about the books and I was hooked when I started reading!!! It is a passionate, scary and twisted fairy tale story told in the present day. I loved every minute of it and can't wait for the movie to come out next month!!!!! ( Nov. 21st)

The books are about 9$ at Target so if you have some free time try the first book out! You won't be able to stop until you've read all 4 books!!!
Warning: don't start the series unless you have time. These book tend to suck you in for hours at a time!!!




I loaned my copy of Twilight out but here all the other three sitting on my bedside table. I have been sleep deprived for the past two weeks because of these books.

Young Life Fall 08'

Work Fun....

I love my job! Except when I work 21 hours straight.... then not so much.

Me, Jen and Dr Anthony doing a spleenectomy and hernia repair.




Me doing a esophagogastrectomy with Dr. J.

Family Vacation-Montana

Well, I just got back from a 6 day family reunion/vacation. I had a good time but I hate going out of town without my husband. He had to stay and get his flying hours in. I took about 400 pictures...I know I know. Insane. I will post a few on here to show you what all we did!!

In the terminal on the way to the plane!!!


A picture I took out the window somewhere between Dallas and Billings, Montana. Beautiful! I can't believe Matt gets to see this view every day!!!




We just stepped off the plane and I was COLD in Montana! 58 degrees F!


This was the cute farm house we stayed in! It was in the middle of nowhere.



Random:
A few of my Young Life girls told me about this new romance/thriller book that just came out. I thought, ok, I guess I give it a try. OMG!!! This is such an amazing book. I really was skeptical when I heard it was about a vampire and a human falling in love. I'm not really into vampires....but the story line is awesome! The book has the same amount of romance as it does freaky/send-a-shiver-down-your-spine scary parts!! Its great! I totally recommend reading it!
I couldn't put it down. I finised it in 3 days and was crushed when I realized I didn't have the sequal to start immediatly after I was finished with the first!! I bought the second at the airport on the way home!! I couldn't wait!!



Mom and I next to the bonfire!


Me in the boat that we rented. We had gorgeous scenery all around us!


My parents in the boat. I was cold outside!


We got to Kayak!


Family Picture minus my brother who is a Jr. at RICE.


Isn't the sky pretty! I took some fun pictures while they jumped bails of hay!
