Just a good weekend!

This summer has gone by soo fast- I can not believe this is the last weekend in July! This past thursday all the girls in my class had a baby shower for Lauren Crenshaw. She has the cutest belly ever- just like a little basketball taped to her stomach!! She is having a little boy that has a mystery name till he is born- I wonder what it will be???? All the girls in my class are so great and these past two years would not have been the same without them!

Bo and I headed to Tupelo this weekend for Bonnie and Paul's wedding! It was a beautiful wedding with a really fun reception at the Mize's house! We got to see a lot of people from high school that we have not seen in a really long time so that is always fun and we got to see Kerri and Jonathan too- they were both in the wedding! Love you kerri-I love seeing you every day!!

Sunday before we left we ate at Bo's great grandmother's house- Here is a picture of his grandmother and great grandmother! Mama Gin is hilarious-she is 92 years old and says the funniest things- she still works out three times a week and feels great! She fried us some chicken, okra, and pickles- she said she had been frying all morning-haha!!

It was great to see so many friends and family!!!

The Rug Doctor

If you have been around me or lived with me long enough you know that I love cleaning! In college my roomates would laugh because they would come in and I would be scrubbing Sara Beth's flower rugs on my hands and knees. So, this weekend was not very eventful but very productive. I have been fantasizing about renting a carpet cleaner for months to clean the one room in our house that is carpet- the master bedroom- I thought about getting new carpet but opted for the cheaper route of cleaning it myself. Let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute cleaning that disgusting carpet- the bottle of cleaning solution for the Rug Doctor said that it could be used for 3 to 4 rooms, but I used the ENTIRE bottle on one little area in our room- I was serious! Here is a picture of the dirty water from the first round- I know it is nasty but I had to save a glass to show Bo just how dirty it was- he went to play golf while I cleaned- probably so I could enjoy it in peace-HaHa!

But now I can finally sleep at night knowing my carpet is as clean as it can be- if we can keep these creatures off of it!!

I also got to put pine straw in the front yard and plant new flowers in the front urns and put up a hanging basket- I love anything with flowers and yardwork too! I enjoyed myself this weekend and got to check some things off my never ending to do list but maybe next weekend will be a little more exciting to others!

Happy 3, 4, and 5th of July!

I was so needing a break from school so thank goodness for the long weekend for Independence Day! Bo and I, and murray, made the long journey (71/2) hours to my aunt Brandy's house on Lake Blue Ridge in Georgia to spend the weekend. It was perfect! It is so rare for my whole family to be together these days since we are all so busy- drew in college and always gone on extreme adventures- tucker- about to be a senior in highschool- and me in school, etc.
Here are some pics from my great weekend:

My Three Sweet Little Ladies

This week God blessed me with the three sweetest little ladies as my first three patients. They all showed up- which is so great because that is one of the main issues with the patients at the school so that was a blessing in itself!

Lady #1- This sweet lady told me her teeth were just falling out.... so hopefully I am going to be able to help her! Her sweet son brings her to all her appointments so hopefully she will always be able to come- I see her on monday for x-rays!

Lady #2- This sweet lady had 9 kids!!!! She said at one time she had seven under the age of seven and then her last two were twins! I told her she could have had a reality show! At the end of the appointment I had to use this contraption to get her jaw relations and it looks really funny- and she thought so too- she just started dying out laughing- it was hilarious!

Lady #3- This sweet lady has just had the hardest life- full of medical problems that have caused her to have so many problems in her mouth- most of her teeth just hurt all the time that she said she can not remember what it feels like not to hurt! At the end of the appointment, she hugged me and told me that she used to love to smile, but she doesn't anymore because she is embarrased of her teeth- it broke my heart!

This week has been great because God has shown me what a ministry I will be able to have and during the past two years it has been hard to see that when all you do is study books, etc... My patients are people I can pray for and I as help each one of them there will be windows of opportunity to share God's love! I am really excited to finally get a glimpse of what my daily life will be like!

Our 2 year anniversary!!

Tuesday was Bo and I's two year anniversary. We have been married two years, but lets not forget about the six years of dating, 6+2=8, so we have been together eight years! I have wanted to marry Bo since high school and throughout all of our years of dating long distance the main thing about marriage that I was excited about was just being able to see him everyday! Bo has been the best husband! I know it is not always easy being married to me when I come home stressed, tired, hungry, and in a bad mood, but he always helps me snap back to my normal self. We usually just try to laugh at everything that comes our way! Bo, I love you! On tuesday when I came home from seeing my second real patient-yay- Bo had flowers and a sweet card waiting on me! We did our p90X video and then got dressed to go out to eat. We went to a quaint little place downtown that we have always wanted to try. It is so close to our house, but we have never been. You can bring your own wine, so we just had a quiet dinner which turned out to be just as great as our week long first anniversary trip!

A Bad Snowball

Ok, Monday- I was getting nervous that bad things were starting to snowball. That was the day that we were finally getting our air conditioner and I was super excited until I walked out the front door.Oh and by the way, our refrigerator was going out also because our house was so hot and all our chicken was thawing out. Anyway, If you have been to my house you know that we have two ENORMOUS trees that must be like 1,000 years old, anyway every time we have a storm, Bo and I get really nervous that a branch is going to come through our house! Well, the past week has been super sunny and not a drop of rain, but I walked out the front door and there was a HUGE branch lodged between our two cars and I had to get to school because I had my first REAl patient- AHHHHH- my car was behind the branch, but BO was stuck waiting for the air conditioner men. He had to saw the branch into pieces and could not move his arms because we had just did the arms DVD for P90X and then he sawed a massive branch-haha- but everything worked out in the end. By the end of the day, we had air, our fridge decided not to give up on us, and my first patient showed up!!!
