After much deliberation...

...I think I should stick to my original plan. As of lately, actually, several months, I've been toying with the idea of nixing nursing school altogether and pursuing a career in medicine. Sounds lovely, right? Well, I've been hitting the net hard all day to find some answers. After all, school starts in just over a month so I better figure it out! Well, I KNOW I could do what it takes to complete the years of education to earn the title of "Dr. Jones", but, that's just it... years of education. I adore my family far too much to basically cut them out of the picture for that long... they are my life. In addition to the hefty responsibility that the title carries, I constantly interact with the numerous doctors that walk through the front door of the restaurant I'm a slave to (eh, it pays the bills). With the exception of Dr. Minh (an amazing, friendly, grounded neurosurgeon) the rest are just old farts, with an ego the size of Texas. Eww. Not to mention they drink like fish and many smoke. Double eww. I dunno, I just think I'd make a fantastic Nurse Practitioner. Smack in the middle of the two professions. This I can handle. No crazy years or salary. Just in the middle, and I'm soooo okay with that. So all day I was staking claim to my new educational goal to several of those around me... maybe hoping in secret that if I told enough people I'd just do it. Honestly, though, I'm sure they don't care that much, and it's my life anyhow, right? I'll make the biggest impact in the profession I choose, whatever the title. Okay, so no more soap box. NP it is. 

Oh, my lovely and oh so preggers friend Shannon taught me how to knit. I finished a scarf in 1 1/2 days. I better get started on Christmas! (I swear, no monogrammed sweaters! :) )

Louie is at the top of his game in puppy class! We'restill working on the whole "chewing issue" though. He swallowed one of my makeup sponged whole today. Not to mention he half demolished all of the working parts of our neighbor's borrowed lawnmower. ?!!! I know, what the heck, right? About 1 week left in the shop and $100ish bucks later, I'm thinkin' this pup better learn to rub feet in the near future.. earn his keep, ya know? ;)

Addi is hammin' it up as usual. My baby. Growing up too fast for me to keep up. Yet another reason med school is a no go. Shannon posted some super sweet pics of Addi on her blog. Love them!

My hubby is off and running on his new job. What a go getter. Show me the money!

Other than that, I'm still hitting the gym 3 times a week to get started. Wednesday I ran 2.5 miles straight without stopping (at the brisk speed of 5.8 mph... 25 min, not too shabby for a gal like me). Woohoo! 5k her I come!

Job is good. Summer break has been so nice. I've got my shtuff together.

Yea me.
