and then there were three


So long to another rotation. Done and over with. See ya!

Today was my last day at the VA~! and that makes me oh-so-happy. It was a great month. I ended it on a positive note by saving a man's life. Well, I didn't save his life...I just didn't ignore him, and he got the care he needed. It had a happy ending. :) 

He also told me that "if Pharmacy school doesn't work out for you, then you should be a super-model". LOL, I told him, "No sir, I doubt it, plus I am way to old for that"...then he said "Nah, 40s the new 20" Um......HELLO, I am NOT 40!!!.....  Talk about a back-handed compliment. Haha!

The VA was my sixth rotation out of nine! And now there are only three left. WOW~ !

On another exciting note....I have started applying of jobs.  I was contacted by a past preceptor...she told me that the Children's Hospital, where I was on rotation in October, will be hiring 6 new graduates to start next summer! That would be perfect timing for me. I applied for the job the next day.

My preceptor from this month told that there are two job openings that I should consider applying for...they are both located about 30 minutes from our house in really RURAL settings. One is a small office that is essentially made up of one doctor, 2 nurses, and one pharmacist.  Evidently the fact that is a small office out in the country with a small staff is a turn-off for some people. The other is a work-from-home opportunity. I applied for both. :) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have either of these jobs.

So, I have some prospects.....in the meantime, I am praying that the right opportunity will come along for me and our family...*fingers crossed*

Next Monday I head back to the Children's Hospital for another month. It feels a little less daunting because I was there in October and have already met some people. But first, a three day holiday weekend ahead.

I can't believe it is almost 2011~ FINALLY! It's gonna be a good one.

winter wonderland


Here are some more pics of our first snowstorm in OH! Karsen knows the rules~ We can't play in the snow until we pose for a pic or two.


This was our first snowstorm here, so the kids were really excited.


Dylan (left) was eagar to run off and play with his friends in our neighborhood. Evidently, it isn't cool to play with Mom and Dad in the snow. Not so fast, Dylan. Of course I had to get a pic first. His face makes me laugh. His eyes are basically saying, "mom, you're embarassing me!!!" LOL I hear that all the time these days!


Even Chris had fun "working" and clearing the driveway. Can't you see the excitement on his face? LOL, well nevermind... (Yes, I have a corny sense of humor.)


Then they got busy working on a snowman....


TA-DA!!! Meet "Joey", our first OH snowman!
I am sure there will be many more to come.


Look who else was out enjoying the winter wonderland. SANTA!
He was strolling through the neighborhood (behind a fire truck) giving out candy canes.


It was so beautiful that I did not want the snow plows to come clear the roads.

We can't wait until the next big snow!

Merry Christmas 2010


Merry Christmas from Dylan, who has chocolate on his mouth and is telling me to hurry up and take his picture so he can finish the cookie he has in his hand. Dylan basically eats like it is the holidays 12 months out of the year, so he is especially enjoying the fact that something is constantly going on in the kitchen, and we are letting him eat 24/7. Tis the season!


Merry Christmas from Karsen, who wants me to point out that her pajamas are new and were the first present we let her open tonight. She took a break from her I-Touch App that is literally counting down the seconds till Christmas to let me take this picture. Christmas is T-minus 0 days, 2 hours, 13 minutes and 11 seconds away, people! Can you stand the excitement?!  We get updated about every 3 minutes! Ha!


Merry Christmas from our family to your's!
