School Starts














School starts tomorrow and I am very anxious. Last week was orientation and I met my fellow students. There is one other monther and a father so I am not the only parent. I however have the youngest child. I have spent the last few days soaking up quality time with both Anderson and Jim. Above is a picture of the two of them after we came home in the rain.

The white coat ceremony went pretty smooth. Anderson managed to sit through about an hour or the hour and fifteen minute ceremony. He was able to see Mommy get her lab coat an begin her journey into vet school. Included is a picture of Jim and Anderson at the ceremony.

I have two of my syllabii and I already know I have an anatomy test on Friday. We start dissection tomorrow. Hitting the ground running...I have a feeling I will be very busy.

That's all for now.

Computer is dead

Update on our computer...it's totally fried and there is no bringing life back to it. We can fix it but the amount to fix the old computer could buy us at least two new computers. So needless to say we are just going to buy a new one. Jim is pricing brands and stores, soon we will have a new computer and we can finally post photos of little Anderson.

Still trying to get settled in the house an gearing up for school. My stress and anxiety level have risen and the thought of being away from Anderson are very overwhelming. Friday we go to Iowa State for orientation and the white coat ceremony. Next week Monday through Wednesday I have orientation here at UNL.

Not much news...we did buy a portable dishwasher...YEAH! No more handwashing dishes 2 and 3 times a day.

Take care!

Hot Hot Hot

Greetings from Lincoln...Sorry that there has not be an updated blog in over a month. Our computer broke and in the midst of the move we had to wait to have it looked at when we arived in Lincoln. Well its still at the computer shop still unsure of the problem. So no pictures at this time.

We arrived in Lincoln and are still settling...there are lots of boxes to unpack and everything that's already unpacked needs to be organized. Saturday night the fan in the furnace that runs our air conditioner broke. So its very hot in our house. Last night when we went to bed it was 93 degrees...outside it was 80. And Jim discovered that the windows are secured shut. We are having a whole new furnace installed...hopefully this afternoon.

Anderson turned 4 months yesterday! He is getting so big and trying to sit up. He now rolls over from stomach to back. We started giving him cereal and juice, which he seems to really enjoy. He discovered his hands and always has them in his mouth. Our daycare problems have been solved. My grandmother will be retiring and watching him at our house so that hecan sleep in and won't have to be taken out when it gets cold out. Jim will have Tuesdays off and it will be Daddy's day. Jim is already discussing fun places to take Anderson and I have to admit I'ma bit jealous.

School starts soon and the realization that my days will no longer be spent with my little man is making me rather sad. Jim, Anderson and I are going to Ames on the 17th for part of my orientation and a white coat ceremony. Then I have orientation here for three days and begin school on the 27th. I'm excited, scared, overwhelmed, anxious, sad and happy all at onetime.

We hope that everyone is doing well and will get pictures loaded as soon as we find out what's going on with our computer. I'm writing theblog with my new school lap top. Take care!
