Max

This adorable, sweet, trouble making, little boy turns 5 tomorrow.



I remember the day this little guy was born. I was so excited, i toted him all over the hospital. One of the nurses asked me if he was mine. I was a little offended by this question, I really didn't think I looked liked I had just delivered a baby, so I quickly returned Max back to my mom.



Max is always good for a laugh. He isn't allowed to use the word hate because he over used it, so now when he whats to convey that he doesn't like something he yells "I really don't Love that!"



This little guy loves trains, planes, dump trucks, coloring on everything, but paper, tornadoes, dinosaurs, bad guys, swords, Captain Hook, Emperor Zurg, and his best friend Mason.



He wants to be just like his Daddy and is always happy to lend a helping (or not so helping) hand in the garage or the yard.



He has the cutest smile, gives the best hugs, and is a very good manipulator.



After Christmas Max told his dad that, "Santa must of thought I was bad this year because he didn't get me a train with a snowplow on it." Unfortunately toy stores don't sell trains with snowplows on them. But wow did he give us all a good guilt trip with that one.

.

I love, love, love this little boy! I can't believe he is 5 already!!



Happy Birthday, Maxi Boy! I LOVE YOU!

Sweet 16!

My baby sister Kristine turned 16 today!



Unfortunately I couldn't fly home to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So I thought I would wish her one here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLIE! 16 is pretty great!


Have so much fun going on your first date and driving one of these...



Crazy! I can't believe how grown up you are!

I hope you had a great day! Enjoy being 16!

Love You, Tine!

Stuck in Chicago

This happens every time I try to leave Pennsylvania. My flight is either delayed for hours, canceled, or I miss my flight for some reason. Normally the problem is fixed at the airport before I fly to Chicago. Jeanne and Rodger talk to the airline, come pick me up, or my flight finally ends up leaving 5 hours late. Not this time, no this time my flight was delayed flying out of Virginia, but instead of fixing the problem in Virginia I flew to Chicago. In Chicago I missed my connecting flight to Salt Lake and of course there are no more flights going to Salt Lake tonight. Which means I am spending the night in Chicago...alone. Too bad it is 5 degrees and dark outside, if it weren't I would be really excited to be in Chicago exploring the city. I think this is a sign, I should just stay in Pennsylvania. If I stayed and just skipped this next semester all of my problems would be solved right?
Oh well. So after talking to several ladies at the Southwest front desk and waiting around for a couple of hours I finally ended up in a hotel. It is a little weird to be here alone, but a lot better than sleeping in baggage claim like one of the Southwest workers told me to do. Oh my, it has been quite the adventure traveling here.

Funny conversation I over heard in the Library

Guy: Hey, do you want to go on a date tonight?
Girl: (looking straight ahead) No
Guy: Why not? You don't have a ring on your finger!

I didn't hear the girl's response to that, but I sure wish I did!

My Little Name Sake

Kelsey Jean

This little girl was named after me. Well maybe not named after me, I think her mom just liked the name. Although Kelsey's mom did call me the day she was born to ask if they could name her Kelsey. So we share a name and a good one might I add. I spent the evening with this little girl and her family today. We wrapped presents, made toffee, listened to Christmas music, danced, played, read books, and just had fun together.
I love this little girl so much. I love her family, they are a great example of a happy, loving, eternal family! They are what I strive for!

BYU Professors

I am grateful for BYU professors.

While walking through the Benson building today I passed by 3 or 4 chemistry professors singing Christmas hymns in the Hall. This little bit of Christmas cheer was a great reminder that Christmas is right around the corner. It is hard to have Christmas spirit right before finals. I am grateful for anyone and everything that reminds me of Christmas while I am studying for finals.

Today is the last day of classes for the semester! In my last nutrition class my nutrition professor called on herself to say the prayer. In her prayer she prayed for her students, she asked that we do well on the final among other things. I don't think I have ever heard a professor pray for me. I am grateful that I have professors who care enough to pray for me. I know that her prayer was heard and my class will be blessed because she said a prayer for us.

Thank you BYU professors for your thoughts, prayers, and Christmas Cheer!

Procrastination

Well finals week has officially commenced! Which means procrastination has also begun. I have a 20 page study guide to fill out, I am 5 pages into it and feel like I have made a very good start, however I now have no desire to look at it.

So here are some things I have been thinking about, please notice that MHC II, Staphylococcus aureus, electron transport, and Malaria are not on the list...

I used the word commenced- I think it is interesting that graduation is also called commencement- what will I begin when I graduate? Graduation is a scary thought, but
I really want to graduate and start something new! Hopefully I begin a grad program after graduation.

Yale has a PA/MPH program. I would love to do a program like that.

I have a date on Saturday, I wonder what we are going to do.

It is really cold outside, today my car door was frozen shut.

My room is a disaster, but it is finals week so the disaster will have to wait until after finals.

Crystal was watching super nanny while I was at home, I wonder what else she watched today. Sometimes I wish I could get as excited about little things as she does. Everyone has their own talents I guess.

I love the song Skin and Bones and have been listening to it on repeat.

I need a clever blog title, I am not feeling very witty at the moment.

I really should study, but apparently I am addicted to blogging. I really don't need any more procrastination tools.

Andrew comes home 5 weeks from tomorrow. I'm not sure how i feel about that, but i should write him. In all honesty I probably won't.

There are cherry brownies sitting in the kitchen and I want one.

The new skin renewal lotion i bought smells really good and feels great.

I need to go to the mall, but I don't want to go, which is weird for me.

I wish my jeans fit me, I had to roll the waste today so they wouldn't fall off.

My hair is officially longer than it has ever been. I like my long hair, but i think it needs some shape so I am going to cut it next week

I am going to Pennsylvania in 3 weeks, which means I will also be going to Washington D.C. and maybe New York, I love traveling.

I need a cute skirt to wear to Casey and Katalyn's wedding.

Sloane was wearing a really cute skirt today. I wish I could pull off some of the outfits Sloane can. Also Sloane is an amazing name, maybe that is why she can pull off such an awesome wardrobe.

The library is now open until 2am, I will probably stay until 2 several times over the next week.

I should probably find a new shirt to wear, but that means searching through my overly stuffed drawers, a feat I am not ready to tackle.

The muscles on the lateral side of my right leg, I think they are my tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus, (Tom, Dick, and Harry) feel like they have atrophied quite a lot over the last few days.

I sure have forgotten a lot of anatomy since this spring, I need a refresher course.

Which reminds me I need to give Chris' anatomy books back to him, hmm that means actually seeing Heidi...

I haven't seen Heidi at all this week, oh wait maybe for a minute yesterday. It is weird that I live in the same apartment as her, but never see her, I guess I'm never here either.

I should go running, it is a great way to procrastinate without feeling guilty, but
I'm afraid my ankle is going to give me problems.

It only took 5 seconds to break my ankle and several years to heal it... Don't break an ankle.

I want to try phlebotomy again, I need to find a free clinic to practice at.

Who would have thought that taking someone's blood could be so fun.

No I am not a vampire, come up with a more original joke.

My International Health class is over, I am going to miss that class, well I am mostly going to miss feeling like I have really cool friends.

Back to studying, thanks blogspot for the moment of procrastination.
