THREE RANDOM FACTS:
1) I can't let a picture hang crooked on the wall without fixing it. (There's my OCD coming out!)

Obsession
So...as most of you know, I am on a little break from school before I start my clinical rotations. I had MANY ambitious thoughts about how I was going to study for my rotations so that I could avoid looking like a complete idiot every day. However, instead of studying, I have acquired my newest obsession. It hasn't been this bad since I saw my first episode of Grey's Anatomy and realized that I would have no social life until I finished watching all of the first 3 seasons. For months, I have listened to Nicole and Marsha talk about a series of books that sounded completely ludicrous to be quite honest. Books about vampires and werewolves. I thought that they had both finally lost it! And besides, I didn't even have time to pee with all of my studies, let alone read a book for pleasure. So, last Friday night, I was at Marsha's house and decided to give in to the madness and just see what all the "Twilight" fuss was about. I AM HOOKED! I just finished the second book after getting them less than 3 days ago. Sleeping and eating are no longer important. I found myself sitting up last night reading with my eyes burning because I was so tired, but refusing to give in to sleep until Edward came back into the second book. How pathetic am I? This totally reminds me of the days when I discovered Meredith and McDreamy and stayed up all night watching the episodes, laughing and crying all at the same time. These books have done the same thing to me. One minute I'm laughing because I love Bella so much and think that she is so funny and the next I'm crying because Edward had to leave her. I'm a geek, I know. Oh yeah, just to let everybody know, I'm only finished with the second book so PLEASE don't give away any of the stories to come! Well, I'm going to take my pathetic self away from the computer now and go start the third book!
Summer Fun
This summer has been so much fun for Tay and I despite our busy schedules! So...I decided to post a few pictures from our adventures. I hope they don't bore you too much!
This is Tay and I at my family reunion. We went to
a camping spot and just hung out with the family.
We're not very "outdoorsy" people, but it was a lot
of fun seeing all of the family. After one night, Tay
informed me that he was all "camped out."
This is my cute little mom and dad camping out. They are a bit more hard-core than us because they stayed for the whole 3 days. Tay and I barely survived for one!
Tay was playing a game and got the ball stuck in the tree. So he decided that hanging from the tree like a monkey was the best way to get it down. When that didn't work, my brother-in-law stepped in with a shovel to throw into the tree to help him. Needless to say, it all went down hill from there as they "strategized" other ways to get it out. Finally, they got it and
miraculously, nobody got hu
rt!
So, this is the next trip we took. We went to Wolverine with Tay's family. It was so much fun because there were so many people there. We ate soooo much and laughed and talked. It was a ton of fun to have Troy there! He showed us a magic trick that I had seen before and it BLEW MY MIND once again. He's amazing! I want to find out how he did it, so if anybody knows how to bribe him into telling, I want to know!
I thought this picture was cute because Kathleen looks as gorgeous as ever, but Kendra wouldn't smile. That's quite a rarity for her because she's always smiling! There's Johnny with little Kaydence. W
hat a good uncle!
I was so surprised in this picture to see how much Tay and Troy look alike! Wow! They easily look like brothers! You'd think that their moms were twins or something. The other picture shows the four amigos hiking up to the swing.
I'm putting a disclaimer on this next section of the post....BEWARE NICOLE! I'm going to post some of the pictures from when Travis got hurt and she doesn't like to look at them. This picture happens just seconds before Trav got hurt. He had grabbed onto the swing to slow Nicole down. They were about 20 feet in the air and when he came down with all that force and speed, he landed just right on a stick about the diameter of a nickel. It went all the way through his shoe and into the bottom of his foot where I assume it hit the bone and stopped. Then I look over and Travis proceeds to pull the shoe off and the stick out of his foot. The blood flow that followed was quite impressive. It was squirting out pretty quickly, so I borrowed a sock to cut off the blood flow and Johnny, Troy and Tay took him down the steep hill to the cabin so that we could examine it. He left a nice blood trail all the way down the mountain. The pictures that follow don't do the wound justice, but they'll have to do. Trav was so tough about it. He kept saying that it didn't hurt. It was so cute how worried Nicole was. It was the most upset I have ever seen her. That's why she didn't want to post the bloody pictures. When I looked at the wound, it was deep and really dirty inside, so Tay and Trav went into Blackfoot to get it fixed up. Pretty exciting trip to the swing!
Notice the lovely bloodstained sock! Ouch....that had to hurt!!!
Moral of the story......don't swing in any areas with big sticks!!!!
