Bye Buddy

Well, I'm sad to say that on Monday we lost our family pet, Buddy.  He was a 6 year old Yorkie who was very much part of the family.  He was a very good dog and we loved him very much!

We were all so upset that we all started the hunt for a new puppy.  Using the classifieds, I was able to find a very nice lady out of Hector, AR.  She met me in Conway Tuesday afternoon and we picked up the newest member of our family.  

This is .... Well, we dont have a name picked out yet.  He is a 6 week old Yorkie and weighs about 2 lbs.  Elliott met me in Conway and took him home to meet the rest of the family last night.  Everyone was really excited!  

Eye Clinic

Finally something to write about.  Usually when my family and friends ask me about school I dont really have much to say.  Wake up.  Study.  Go to class.  Come home.  Study.  Eat Dinner. Study.  Go to Bed.  Repeat!  But today, we had eye clinic.  This block is over the Central Nervous System and the Eye.  So this afternoon we all got to meet at the Jones Eye Center at UAMS and look into eachother's eyes.  

By the way, Opthalmoscopes are harder to use than you would think.  But now we have one dilated eye and it makes it really hard to study in the bright lights of the library.  So we are at home sitting at the kitchen table with the blinds partially open, laptop backlights dimmed,  trying to focus!!  :)  This should be fun!

P.S. What I learned today:
Get your kids eyes checked before they are 7, some damage may be able to be corrected if detected early!

Snow is actually hitting me in the eye right now!  

This is Ruie's "You cant make me come in!" face

This year, Hunter and I hosted Thanksgiving with my side of the family at our house!

We turned Hunter's desk into a buffet! 

Ahhhh, the post-Thanksgiving coma! 

I guess it was good, because we all ate till we were stuffed!

Halloween Party

Well, Little Rock did Trick or Treating on Sunday Night.  Hunter and I were really excited about handing out candy this year.  It was so cute seeing all the kids in their costumes.  Unfortunately, we had a test on monday, so we had to study.  But you know me, I can study anywhere.  Here's me sitting by the front door reading my Pathology notes, waiting for the kids!  

Monday night after the test, we had a class party.  I was Flo from the Progressive commercials and Hunter was Where's Waldo.  Here we are w/ Popeye and Olive Oil 

2 Flos!!!! 

Sean was an old guy, he even handed out hard candies!!  He's next to Bob Ross! 

 You can see Hunter really got into Character 

Kiss!!
