So one of my New Year's resolutions in a since is to keep this thing updated as much as possible. I realized that when I wait, I end up writing dissertations that take a while.
Over the past month....
We had a karyoke night the last week of Primary Care with lots of food and LOTS of singing. Mandy, Christie, Ashley, and I busted a move and sang our hearts out for the entertainment of others. I think the best part was the duets...Mandy and I definitely did "summer lovin'" from Grease and the boys busted out some old school country duets. We are definitely due for a repeat.
I have transitioned from the small animal world of puppies and kittens and their vaccinations to 
the large animal world. Right now I am on food animal which includes chickens, cows, sheep, goats, and pigs. These past two weeks, I've been on "ambulator" which means I get up before the sun, get to school by 5:45 am (yes, it is possible for me to be up at this time), and travel to various farms to do farm calls. We mainly have been palpating pregnant cows. I want get into the details, but it is actually pretty cool to feel a fetus! We travel around in this fully equipped truck which is my dream and so it's thrilling for me to ride in. The other day we travelled to south Mississippi for our chicken trip. Ten young adults in a van for 6 hours can definitely be fun. Nobody was injured and we had a blast playing Phase 10 and listening to various music selections which matched the personalities of the car...we all were united in the end when we pulled into MSU singing "Shoulda been a Cowboy" at the top of our lungs.

Eric has started baseball practice and has been going back and forth between the high school and junior high. The first junior high game is next Monday night. He has been reading this book by John Wooden and getting tons of ideas and implementing them. He has been really excited about this season and all the growth of the players from this summer. It's soo weird and exciting. These next 10 weeks are going to fly by fast! with baseball and clinics. At that time, Eric will then go to Niagra for summer ball where he is coaching a summer college team and then I'll start my senior year on Internal Medicine and ICU.
Avery is officially a "big girl". She had her first heat cycle starting two weeks ago. She is kinda weirded out by it and really wasn't sure what to think of her diapers. She hasn't been training much but we have been taking her on daily walks which she really likes. She tries to scale the wall to get to her harness. I'm waiting for the day she puts her harness on herself and walks out the door. So far the semester has been great. Valentine's is this weekend, but I doubt we will do much....
