Catching up.....Part I

Well, let just say that Randy and I have had a very adventurous year. Starting last September we started the long and tedious task of applying to Pharmacy school (and when I say we, I mean I filled out all the paperwork and he had the interviews). We applied to 5 schools and were ask to interview at three. One interview was in Amarillo at Texas Tech. The other two required trips to Kingsville, TX and San Antonio, TX. If anyone knows me, they know I am always up for a trip to some place new. After Randy's interviews, which usually took half a day or more, we would go and enjoy the sights. It was a great time for us to spend some time together and really think about what we wanted and were would be the best place for us if we were accepted to that school.

We were blessed enough to be accepted into the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy, which is a huge blessing! I don't know how we would have paid for the moving expenses and moving 3 large dogs. Would you rent a house to someone with 3 large dogs? I didn't think so.....beside we are blessed with loving parents and in-laws. Paula and Dick, Randy's parents, are kind enough to let us live in Nanny's house free of rent. We love you guys!!!

While we were in Kingsville, Tx we decided to take short 25 min trip to Corpus Christi, TX. We thought about staying in Kingsville one more night but soon realized that Kingsville is a glorified Hereford. Some of you will understand. Let me just put it this way, there was more furniture in the fronts yards than there was in the actually house.....if you want to call them houses. Nice campus.....not to great on the living accommodations.


Gulf Coast

Me looking at something


An awesome boat......I was super excited about this boat.
What is this......yes it is the same kind plane that was in "Top Gun". My all time favorite movie!!!

Moving on to bigger and better things...... Well my dogs thought this was pretty great and they closed the college campus so I did not have to work and Randy did not have to go to school. This happened sometime in April. IT SNOWED......Alot!
George (above) and Belle (below) love the snow! They would be content just hanging out watching all the cars go by and sniffing the cold air. However, our black dog (Mary Ann), is a bit of a snow snob and would never be caught dead frolicking in the that white stuff. If it is below 50 degrees and it is time to go outside she sticks her head out the doggie door and then immediately turns around to go cuddle up in her warm bed and blankets.

After the snow cleared and I recovered from all of our trips here and there I decided to make the trek to Georgia to see Shari and Rachel. It was great to get together and reminisce about college days. It was like we had never been apart. I love you guys! Needless to say we had some pretty crazy times. For example, crying at a silly movie, taking Twizler teeth pictures and staying up way to late!Here is a cute picture of the Lilli and Alice when we picked strawberries.

Well that covers through the end of May. I will be back.

Help!

Hello everyone! It's been a super long time since I've blogged about anything and I am sorry. I am going to make one more go at this and hope that it will stick. I will do my best to updated everyone on what has happened the last 8 months and post some pictures as well.

However, when I changed my template I lost all of my fellow bloggers. If you don't mind me viewing your blog, please list your blog address in the comments.

What do you believe?

I listen to Glenn Beck every morning at work (on the radio) and I wanted to share this with all of you. If you answer yes to at least 7 (which I think most people do) send him your picture at the email address at the very bottom. I got this from his website.

1) Yes or no: Do you believe America is a good place, that we've lost our way over the years, that we have done bad things but generally speaking we tried hard. We try to make amends. We have tried to do the right thing. Just like everybody else, we fail from time to time and we have truly lost our way in the last 20 years. But gosh, if you look at America, she's good and our founders were good and our founding documents are good. We've just strayed too far away from them. Yes or no.

2) Yes or no: I believe in God. I may not go to the same church or synagogue or mosque as the majority of people in America, but I believe in God and he is the center of my life, and God does not tell people to behead others or to persecute others that see God in a different way. As long as that god is not telling them to persecute others.

Yes or no.

3) Yes or no: It is my responsibility to try to be better and a more honest person than I was yesterday. Sometimes I fail, I'll make mistakes, but it's my main mission to be better than I was personally than I was yesterday.

4) Yes or no: The family is sacred. I and my spouse are the ultimate authority under God when it comes to my family. I raise my family, and that comes with a grave responsibility. If I fail, I answer to God.

5) Yes or no: If you break the law, you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6) Yes or no: I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but that is not a guarantee of equal results.

7) Yes or no: I work hard for what I have, and I will share it with others that I choose when I choose, should I choose. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8) It is not un-American for anyone to disagree with my opinion, but my opinion or others' opinions may be anti-American. Anti-American rhetoric would be anything that is destructive to the Constitution and our country as our founders understood it.

9) And the last one is the government works for me. The government answers to me. I do not answer to the government.

How many are there? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. There are nine of them. Do you agree with seven of them?

Here's what I want you to do. Step one: No matter where you are right now, I want you to take a picture of yourself. I want you to take a picture, and I ask you and you'll understand as we go in the next couple of weeks, I ask you if you could bring these and ask your children -- can we post these please on the Internet, on the website? I want you to ask as many people as you know, do you believe in these things? Just seven out of nine. Do you believe in them? Then will you please take a picture of yourself. If you ask your family and you ask your children tonight, do you believe in these things. Take a picture of your spouse. Not as a family. Take them one at a time and send them to me, e-mail them to me at -- what is the address, Stu? Wesurroundthem@gmail.com. This is how much I believe that you are not alone.

Now I'm going to ask you every day for the next two or three weeks. Please, if you agree with these things, please send me a photo. I will explain on, is it -- do we know, is it going to be February 27th? We don't know? We don't have a date yet. And I'll explain on February 27th -- I think it's going to be that date, in the next couple of weeks -- and I'm going to do a special radio show and television show. It's going to be a live show. We are going to also have you have an opportunity to attend. I will tell you about that in the coming days. I will also tell you in the coming days that you don't have to come to New York to be a part of it, either. But this is all going to be grassroots. I'm going to be asking you if you want to put together a, if you have a bar or, you know, you own a hotel and you want to do a conference center kind of thing where, you know, you can just open up the doors and anybody who wants to come and watch the TV show or you want to do it at the bar, you want to do it at your house. Don't watch this TV show and don't -- I believe it's going to be February 27th. Could be a week later. Don't be alone, and you'll understand why on that day. But I ask you today, do this one thing. Do you believe in these things?

Everybody else is going to talk about the damn stimulus package today. Do you believe in these things? If you do, then do me a favor, please, do your children a favor. Take a picture of yourself and send it to me at wesurroundthem@gmail.com.

Before my sister disowns me.......

I admitted the other day to my sister, Jami, that I had not been good at keeping up my blog lately and she responded......"You were never good at keeping up!" Well she's right! I can't promise that I will get any better but I bet I can promise that once you have given up on me, I will once again surprise you with a new post. Jami was here last week and I got the awesome opportunity to do something I love! Take some fun pictures. The best part was they were of my handsome nephews and beautiful nieces! Please enjoy! These are just a few of my favorites, unedited!
