NEW MONTH, NEW SEMESTER

Wow. Morgan began his 3rd year of dental school and already seems to be in the groove of things. He has been doing dental procedures on REAL patients now. And yes he is very good at it. He amazes instructors with how fast and proficient he is. He has been doing a lot of restorations already (cavities) and has a lot of patients. As a dental student, he has certain requirements he needs to meet before graduating, he has to do a certain number of restorations, root canals, etc. So he's already jumping right in and getting things done.

It's September and the beginning of semester 6 for me. This semester I will be studying PSYCH, community, leadership and research. Yes, I did put an emphasis on the psych. That's right, my clinicals will be on a psych floor, I've already heard many many stories from nurses doing psych rotations.... Pretty sure this won't be my favorite class, but it sounds like I will learn a lot of therapeutic communication that I can apply in various situations. I am still doing my externship - and I LOVE IT!! I learn something new every time I'm there and I really enjoy it.

CURTAINS!!!!

Alright so our new place is great. We love it!! Since I've been married, I've been thinking it would be fun to do curtains, but didn't want to have to deal with buying the rods and putting them up in a place that wouldn't be permanent. When we moved to our new place, there were curtain rods already up. And since I've had a few weeks off, I made curtains!!! We found the fabric at Walmart on sale, and thank goodness because these curtains took 10 yards worth of fabric to make.

NEW HOUSE!!!

Alright so we are officially in the new place and I promised my mom I would post pics by this weekend so here it is!!! A quick glance of our new residence. We're hoping to be here for the rest of our florida stay :D

EXTERNSHIP - cardiac stepdown unit

I have been searching and searching for the past three months for an nursing externship... In Broward County, evidently, these positions are hard to come by. I had finally decided that I probably just needed to work as a nursing assistant or volunteer to get at least some experience and do some networking while I was in school. Externships are the best experience though because they provide you with multiple things: 1. experience in the field 2. exposure to hospital systems (procedures, protocols, charting, etc.) 3. networking 4. a job when you graduate from your program. All great things right? I GOT AN EXTERNSHIP IN A CARDIAC STEPDOWN UNIT AND I'M SO EXCITED!!! I just bought my first pair of non-teal scrubs yesterday, along with my first ekg calipers :D

NEW SPICE = HILARIOUS!!!

My newest baby masterpiece!!!

Alright so for those of you who don't know - I have been making these cute little boy onesies with ties. They are darling, and it's been perfect because for quite a while all of my friends were just having boys. But now it's the season for girls, so I needed to come up with something clever. Here are some projects that I have already been making for gifts. And yes they are handmade :D

Andrea & Corbin meet FLoRIdA

Welcome to Miami (bienvenido a Miami).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA & CORBIN. We celebrated at Cheesecake Factory. Morgan told our waiter that it was both of their birthdays...but we're pretty sure he thought Morgan was joking around because they never sang Happy Birthday :( Don't worry Morgan & I sang for them and let them blow out one of our nice-smelling candles at home :D
John Lloyd State Park at Dania Beach. One day we went to the skip-jacks and the other day we went snorkling and found conch shells by the rock pier.
Andrea & I got smart the second time we came to this beach. Yeah we wore rash guards so we wouldn't get burned...again...

So yes Andrea & Corbin came and visited us in Fort Lauderdale. They went up to Orlando for a few days and spent the rest of the week with us. We had a blast!!
