Hi! I'm trying to get into the habit of keeping up to date with this blog thing, b/c I'm hoping that soon I can really have something interesting to blog about, oh like a baby. But for now we're still trying, or "practicing" as Matt refers to it...nice dear, nice!

Nothing really new going on. Matt graduated as salutatorian from paramedic school in August (missed valedictorian by .0001 of a difference!), so we've actually been able to see each other and spend quality time together since we're not both is school and both working. I'm still working at Scott & White as a Nurse Tech on the oncology floor, but since I want to work in peds after graduation, I'm def looking forward to our pedi rotation this semester. Adult med-surg is just not my thing!

Jessica is still living with us, but will soon be evicted and forced to be a big girl as she is graduating in December. We finally appeased our homeowner's association- planted a freakin tree (one of the 4 species allowed), and did some rock work around the new flower beds...flowers coming soon! But perhaps the most exciting about the house is our new neighbors:

Yes, the snakes have decided to move- closer to mi casa is what they had in mind. This one is at the stop sign just by my house...we are the first house on the street so it's not far! This is the 4th snake we've seen in a week.....one of which I killed myself. Although it was only like 2-3 inches long, big snakes were once little baby snakes is what I told Matt since he didn't want to kill it b/c it "was just a baby." And my neighbor said her 4 yr old daughter found one last month coiled up in the bottom of her pink princess toy box...IN HER ROOM. So I'm pretty much freaking out, I won't let Oliver use his doggie door b/c I'm afraid one might want to decide to use it as a snakie door...and then we have HUGE problem. I posed the idea of an outside cat to help the problem, but that went over like a turd in a punch bowl,,,,any ideas?

Well that's about all I got for now,,,hopefully the next blog I can post will be something about a big announcement. But until then we'll keep doing what we do!
