frustrated

Ugggh!!!!
So, I am trying to get pictures together so I can blog some more for you all, but I am having troubles, to say the least.
Ladd set up picassa on our computer for me so I can have more organization with my pictures, folders, blogging, etc. It organizes your photos so wonderfully, but I am having trouble getting the pictures over to this blog. For some reason, it would only post 4 pictures of the 20-some pictures I tried to transfer. Uggh. AND, when I tried to delete that post, I accidently deleted my previous post. Lame-O!!!!
I will get this figured out soon. I have pics from our trip to Denver to share. So, until I get this picassa thing figured out, I'll just upload pics the old fashioned way..... eventually.
Keep checking in!

new job

So I am in my second week of my new job. I chose to go ahead and apply at the local brewpub and was hired.... thanks to Megan, who put in a good word for me. :)

I'm doing okay. I have a few chains to grease yet, but I've jumped back on the bike and I haven't fallen off yet. :) Its been so long since I've waitressed. Thanks to coworkers and bosses who are so patient, understanding, helpful and so full of encourangement, I am doing quite fine.

Here's a link to their website. Its definitely no FreeState, but you take what you can get out here. :)

happy birthday, brother!!!

It's my bro's 30th birthday today! I can't believe it. He's created a lot for himself. Married to a wonderful woman and has raised two brilliant and beautiful children who are (god I hope I'm right here...) 4 and 9. I love you Brad!

Here is his senior picture. I hope its not going to embarrass him that I put this on my blog, but its one of my favorites of him and I carry it in my wallet at all times! That's why its so wrinkled.

Love you Brad. You are so special to me. :)

HI!

Hi, everyone! I'm back!

School was officially over on Tuesday. I know my overall grade for A&P, but I have yet to find out about Microbiology. I'm antsy. It could go a couple ways for me. Because, DAMN that final was nasty!! :) Whatever grade i end up with, though, should be passing... I think. :)

I have so much stuff to post about. So many things have happened since my last personal post. I figured, since there is so much to tell, I will just do one big post with pictures and comments to fill you in.


We celebrated St. Patty's Day... MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!!


I left Vitamin Cottage. We celebrated our first Sunday together since August with a brunch that - duh - included mimosas.




Ladd turned 29!!!!



I started my new job working in the kennels at an animal clinic. On Saturdays, I have to be there by 7am. Notice the sky (that was in March...its light out at 6:30 now) and notice the gas prices. Ewwww.




It snowed some more.



KU beat Roy's boys and then turned around and won the national championship!!! Oh, how I wish I could have been in Lawrence. Thanks Lawrence friends, for sending me the pics of downtown!!! GO KU!!!




Our first keg party in the mountains.



AND NOW......

I have put in my notice at the kennels and will possibly work at the Brewpub this summer. (long story... )
Schwartzkopf is in beginning stage of kidney failure. We caught it early enough that he should still have a handful of good years left, but its different with every cat, so we will do our part to keep his kidneys happy and hope for a good few more years with this little rascal.
Ladd is doing well. He still loves his job.
Bailey is good. She is enjoying the crazy rapids that are happening in our "creek" (more like a raging river... seriously!! Its crazy!)
Luna is healthy and happy and enjoying her 20 hours of sleep a day! :)
