March Already!

Well it really has been a while since I have written, last time a wrote it was the beginning of the quarter, now it is the end of the quarter. A lot has happened lately, first off our cat had kittens and they are adorable! Also, school has been going great, we have learned how to do so many things, one of my favorites I would have to say is venipuncture, my teacher says I am a vampire because I like drawing blood. It was so exciting because I actually drew blood on the first try. Other things that have happened include my 24th birthday and Carson's 25th birthday. I am looking forward to our 2 year anniversary this upcoming Tuesday. I can't believe it has been two years already! Sorry there still aren't pictures of me doing something cool from class, but here are some pictures of the kittens!

24

Well, my 24th birthday was this last Monday and it was a good day. Robbie and Megan threw a birthday party for me since it was Carson's first day of classes. I had lots of fun playing with the nephews and watching 24 with Robbie and Megan. Thanks for the party. On another note, school started up again on the 5th and it has been a blast getting down into the lab and starting vitals and injections. I successfully gave my first 5 injections this past Wednesday and it was scary but at the same time amazing. We learned how to do intradermal shots such as TB tests, we start venopuncture in two weeks so that should be fun as well. Kitty is doing good, she was in heat a couple of weeks ago and hasn't gone back into heat yet so we think she is pregnant, that should be interesting. Also my niece Evelyn turned 1 on the 9th and she looked so adorable in her Little tutu. Well that is pretty much it, I should get some pictures up of me giving injections once I get them from my teacher so look out for those!

Winter Break

Well I am happy to say that I passed all of my finals with flying colors! Carson and I had a great Christmas with my family and his. It was a lot of fun to have the whole Sant clan together, it is always a good time with them, never a dull moment. I must say I got Carson some pretty sweet gifts, including a new camera and my favorite cologne, Aqua di Gio. Kitty got a sweet toy she never plays with, however she does love her catnip. Also she is in heat right now so she is a bundle of fun, not really she comes in and tries to wake us up at three in the morning. I am looking forward to school starting up again next week, I bought a stethascope and blood pressure cup this past tuesday and immediately went home to play with them. I hope everyone has a happy New Year!

Almost Christmas!

So Carson and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our families, it was some good eating. Tara, Jamie, and I went to Michael's on thanksgiving and I must say we found some pretty cool things. I am happy to say that I am done buying presents for Carson until his birthday, which is nice because now I just need to get some presents for the nephews, Jamie, and my parents. Well classes will be out in two weeks and I am so excited that my first quarter of the med. asst. program is almost over, I am looking forward to a break from the homework for a bit, but I am really excited to get into the lab next quarter and learn all of the clinical stuff. Life has been pretty boring these past couple of months for us since we pretty much just work and go to school, but I am looking forward to Christmas, YAY!

The strangest day of my life!

So this past thursday was the strangest day of my life. On my way to work I decided to stop at the sell gas station on G-way and grab a soda, as I was checking out an elderly gentleman fell off the curb and hit his head. The lady checking me out rushed outside to help him, he was bleeding from his head and had a bad laceration on his arm, so of course I called 911. He happened to be 91 years old, I am not sure what happened after he was taken to the hospital but I think he is ok because his car wasn't at the gas station the next day. That is the first thing. Then about 15 minutes before I am suposed to get off of work I my co-worker tells me to look out the window, and what do I see a cop car. I look closer to see 2 cops with their guns out and pointed at the car they had pulled over. Shortly there after 5 more cop cars pull up and anotehr cop pulls out a shotgun. They go on to get 6 men out of a early 90's ford escort. Anther co-workers husband is the chief of police- and she got the story for us on what was going on. Apparently all of the guys in the car were 18-19 years old and they were in Richland and apparently one of them flashed a gun at a pedestrian. The pedestrian called the police but hte richland cops didn't get them however they called the other police stations and the west richland police pulled them over. It was a huge ordeal the police stopped traffic for a 1/2 hour and no one could leave the dentist office until all of the men were hand cuffed and in the police cars. So that is a synopsis of the strangest day of my life!

Last pictures

So I love this set of pictures with Carson and Jakob, they are soooo cute!
It only gets better!
Roundhouse kick to the face!
I also promised a picture of kitty a long time ago so here is Trouble playing in a box!

More pictures from our trip!

This si a picture looking straight up the inside of the tallest light house in Oregon.
Unfortunately you have to be a certaing height to go uo to the top of the light house sou we had to take turns going up so someone could sit with the boys, this is a picture from the first landing on the stairs looking down. Jakob was sad he didn't get to go up, eh was like 2 inches too short.
I just love this picture of the boys.
This is a fun picture of me and Carson when we were doing family pictures.
Carson and Cameron skim boarding.
